信息结构所研究的“指称”指的是名词性成分与其所指之间的认知或解读关系,这种关系不是局限于单个小句内名词性成分的语义,而是置于整个篇章之中,从语用层面来确定所指对象的认知状态。本文利用Lambrecht(1994)提出的“篇章指称对象的心理表征”理论,对动量短语与宾语结合时形成两种语序的机制进行了探讨。所谓的“篇章指称对象的心理表征”涉及到两个概念:识别可能性和激活状态。 本文从封闭语料库中穷尽式提取了含有“V+N+X次”和“V+X次+N”两种语序的例句,通过分析每种语序中N的状态,并进行统计,得出以下结论:“V+N+X次”语序要求N是高度可识别的,或是高度激活的。而“V+X次+N”语序则要求N是相对来说是不可识别的,或者是激活度较低的。N的心理表征状态是影响语序选择的关键性因素。本文认为人类的认知不是离散的,而是呈现一个连续统,因此本文的结论提供的不是语序选择的一个绝对标准,而只是一种语序选择的倾向性。

明清白话小说中“是日”与“一日”的篇章功能差异

王贝贝 ( Wang Beibei ) 한국중국어문학회 2024 中國文學 Vol.118 No.-

명나라와 청나라 시기의 백화 소설에서 ‘一日’과 앞의 시간과 조응하지 않는 ‘是日’은 모두 과거의 불특정한 시간을 가리키며, 그 공통적인 기능은 새로운 서술 줄거리를 여는 역할을 한다. 그러나 구체적인 텍스트에서 둘 중에 어느 표현을 사용할지를 선택하는 것은 임의적이지 않으며, 두 시간사의 담화 기능 차이에 의해 결정된다. 본고는 담화 분석 관련 이론을 기반으로 주로 정보 구조, 텍스트의 응집도, 서술 방식 등 세 가지 측면에서 ‘一日’과 ‘是日’의 담화 기능 차이를 분석했다. 우선 ‘是日’과 ‘一日’ 뒤에 나타나는 주요 인물의 식별가능성에는 차이가 존재한다. ‘一日’은 ‘有NP’와 같은 식별불가능한 지시체가 나타나는 것을 허용하지만, ‘是日’ 뒤에 나타나는 인물은 주로 활성화 정도가 높은 지시체이다. 둘째, 텍스트 안의 응집도를 분석한 결과 ‘一日’과 비교할 때 ‘是日’은 앞과 뒤에 있는 내용 사이의 응집도가 현저히 높다. 셋째, ‘是日’ 뒤에 있는 장면은 서술자가 중점적으로 보여주고 싶은 장면이며, 서술자는 독자들이 이 장면에 초점을 맞추기를 바란다. 반면 ‘一日’ 뒤에 있는 내용은 장면 묘사에 초점을 맞추지 않고 줄거리 전개에 더 중점을 두고 있다. In the vernacular fiction of the Ming and Qing dynasties, both “yi ri” and “shi ri( indicating non-anaphora)” can refer to a non-specific time in the past. Both of them have the function of opening a new narrative plot. However, the two discourse markers act differently in the field of discourse function, which decides only one of them is a much more appropriate choice in a specific discourse. Based on discourse analysis theories, this study mainly analyzed the functional differences between “shi ri” and “yi ri” from the following three aspects: information structure, discourse cohesion, and narrative style. First, the identifiability of the main characters in the following texts of “shi ri” and “yi ri” is different. “yi ri” allows unidentifiable referent objects such as “you+NP” to appear, but “shi ri” does not. Most of the main characters appearing after “shi ri” are highly activated. Second, from the perspective of textual cohesion, the closeness between the preceding and following contents of “shi ri” is generally higher than “yi ri”. As a discourse marker, “shi ri” marks that the subsequent scene is what the narrator wants to highlight. On the contrary, the follow-up contents of “yi ri” do not focus on the description of a scene. It pays more attention to narration and the development of plots.

Biodegradation is the key process involved in natural lignocellulose biotransformation and utilization. Microbial consortia represent promising candidates for applications in lignocellulose conversion strategies for biofuel production; however, cooperation among the enzymes and the labor division of microbes in the microbial consortia remains unclear. In this study, metagenomic analysis was performed to reveal the community structure and extremozyme systems of a lignocellulolytic microbial consortium, TMC7. The taxonomic affiliation of TMC7 metagenome included members of the genera Ruminiclostridium (42.85%), Thermoanaerobacterium (18.41%), Geobacillus (10.44%), unclassified_f__Bacillaceae (7.48%), Aeribacillus (2.65%), Symbiobacterium (2.47%), Desulfotomaculum (2.33%), Caldibacillus (1.56%), Clostridium (1.26%), and others (10.55%). The carbohydrate-active enzyme annotation revealed that TMC7 encoded a broad array of enzymes responsible for cellulose and hemicellulose degradation. Ten glycoside hydrolases (GHs) endoglucanase, 4 GHs exoglucanase, and 6 GHs β-glucosidase were identified for cellulose degradation; 6 GHs endo-β-1,4-xylanase, 9 GHs β-xylosidase, and 3 GHs β-mannanase were identified for degradation of the hemicellulose main chain; 6 GHs arabinofuranosidase, 2 GHs α-mannosidase, 11 GHs galactosidase, 3 GHs α-rhamnosidase, and 4 GHs α-fucosidase were identified as xylan debranching enzymes. Furthermore, by introducing a factor named as the contribution coefficient, we found that Ruminiclostridium and Thermoanaerobacterium may be the dominant contributors, whereas Symbiobacterium and Desulfotomaculum may serve as “sugar cheaters” in lignocellulose degradation by TMC7. Our findings provide mechanistic profiles of an array of enzymes that degrade complex lignocellulosic biomass in the microbial consortium TMC7 and provide a promising approach for studying the potential contribution of microbes in microbial consortia.

动量短语与宾语共现时两种语序的焦点结构差异 ― 以动量词“次”为例

王贝贝 ( Wang Beibei ) 한국중국어문학회 2023 中國文學 Vol.115 No.-

동일한 진리값을 가진 ‘V+X次+N’과 ‘V+N+X次’와 같은 두 구조는 서로 다른 초점구조로 표현될 수 있다. 중립적 문맥에서 ‘V+X次+N’이 포함된 문장의 자연초점은 N에 있지 않고 그 기본 초점구조는 서술어초점이다. 이때 화자의 주요 의도는 주제에 대한 논평 또는 사실의 발생을 진술하는 것이다. 그래서 ‘V+X次+N’은 무표적인 초점구조를 가진다고 말할 수 있다. 반면에 ‘V+N+X次’는 상대적으로 유표적인 초점구조이다. 화자가 사건이나 동작의 횟수에 더 많은 관심을 기울이고 사건이나 동작이 발생할 때의 세부 내용을 설명하고 싶을 때, 동량구를 문말에 놓고 강세를 부여하여 초점으로 만드는 경향이 있다. 이때는 초점 영역이 단지 한 성분에 있기 때문에 전체 문장의 초점구조는 논항초점이다. 두 구조에서 초점 민감 연산자가 나타나는 경우에 본고는 이를 화자가 의도적으로 특별한 초점 책략을 취한 문장으로 본다. 이때 동량구가 앞에 있든, 뒤에 있든 관계없이 초점 민감 연산자는 항상 동량구와 관련되어 있고, 해당하는 문장은 논항초점을 형성한다. “X cì” can occur either before objects or after objects in Mandarin Chinese, which can be abstracted as “V+X cì+N” and “V+N+X cì”. In a neutral context, the sentence in which “V+X cì+N” has “predicate focus” structure. Using this construction, the speaker is mainly intended to comment on the topic or narrate the events. The event represented by “V+X cì+N” is only a chain of the narrative, and its focus structure is unmarked. Reversely, the focus structure of “V+N+X cì” is relatively marked. Using this construction, the speaker focuses on the number of events or actions. When describing the details of sub-events, the speaker intends to put the event quantifier phrase at the end of the sentence and assign it word stress. Because there is only one component in the focus domain, “V+N+Xcì” usually has “argument focus” structure. In addition, when there is a focus-sensitive operator in neither construction, regardless of word order, the focus automatically moves onto the event quantifier phrase and either of the two construction has an argument focus.

“及物性”对动量短语与宾语语序的影响

목적어의 의미역은 동사와 목적어 사이의 의미 관계를 반영한다. 본문은 주로 목적어의 의미 역이 동량구와 목적어의 어순 배열에 어떻게 영향을 주는지에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 기존 연구를 바탕으로 본고에서는 목적어의 의미역을 피행위자, 대상, 결과, 처소, 도구, 방식, 재료, 목적, 행위자 등 아홉 가지로 분류하였다. 각각 의미역의 분포 가능성을 측정하기 위해 먼저 각각의 동량사에 가능한 목적어 의미역을 조합한 후 두 가지 어순의 가능성을 테스트했다. 그 결과 ‘V+Q+N’ 어순에는 거의 모든 의미역이 나타날 수 있지만, ‘V+N+Q’ 어순에서는 유생 피행위자, 대상과 처소 등 3가지 의미역만이 나타날 수 있다. 하지만 ‘下’는 예외로 무생 피행위자도 N의 위치에 들어가는 것이 허용된다. 본고에서는 하나의 의미역이 속한 타동성 구조가 충분히 높은 타동성을 나타나면 이 의미역은 동량구의 앞에 나타날 수 있다는 것을 발견하였다. 따라서 타동성 위계가 동량구와 목적어의 어순을 결정하는 중요한 메커니즘 중 하나라는 결론을 도출할 수 있다. The semantic role of the object reflects the semantic relationship between the verb and the object. This paper focuses on how the semantic role of the object affects the word ordering of event quantifier phrases and objects. Based on previous research, this paper divides the semantic roles of objects into nine types, namely patient, target, result, instrument, manner, material, location(destination), purpose, and agent. In order to detect the distribution potential of each semantic role, I first matched possible object semantic roles for each event quantifier, and then tested the possibility of the two sequences. The results show that almost all semantic roles can appear in the “V+Q+N”, but only the semantic role of animate patient, target and destination can appear in the “V+N+Q”. However, “Xia” is an exception, which allows the inanimate patient to enter the N position. This paper finds that a semantic role can appear before an event quantifier phrase if the transitive structure to which it belongs expresses a sufficiently high degree of transitivity. Therefore, the transitivity hierarchy is a key mechanism to determine the order of event quantifier phrases and objects.

“过_EXP”与“曾经”的互补与互动

王贝贝 ( Wang Beibei ) 한국중국어문학회 2021 中國文學 Vol.106 No.-

The previous studies are relatively sufficient on explaining the aspectual meanings of experiential marker guo, while the experiential meaning expressed by adverb cengjing hasn’t attracted enough attention. This study mainly focuses on the comparision of guo and cengjing in Mandarin. I found that cengjing has a similar semantic manifestation with guo on the three properties ― repeatability , discontinuity and specificality of time orientation. Since guo and cengjing have different syntactic features, guo can co-occur with all kinds of situation types while cengjing is not compatible with activity, cengjing can co-occur with habitual sentence while guo can not. Through statistical analysis, I contrast the syntactic environments that guo and cengjing are inclined to appear in. Guo normally appears in the basic SV(O) sentence and is inactive with much more complicate predicate, while cengjing get less constraint from complicate predicate. On the whole, in those syntactic environments where guo get more constraint, cengjing is tend to play the role of experiential function instead of guo as long as rhythm of verb and situation type of sentence license. In this sense, they are complementary to each other. Finally, guo and cengjing can co-occur in one sentence and under the circumstances cengjing is redundant semantically. Nevertheless, they process the different function of time reference. Guo focuses on the viewpoint aspect and cengjing act as a time anchor. The relationship between the two morpheme is a kind of “harmonic combination”.

Li Lu,Beibei Wang,Zhongyan Shan,Fengwei Jiang,Xiaochun Teng,Yanyan Chen,Yaxin Lai,Jiani Wang,Haibo Xue,Sen Wang,Chenyan Li,He Liu,Ningna Li,Jiashu Yu,Liangfeng Shi,Xin Hou,Qian Xing,Xue Bai,Weiping Te 대한의학회 2011 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.26 No.2

This study investigated the relationship between serum thyrotrophin levels and dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroid and euthyroid subjects. A total of 110 subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism and 1,240 euthyroid subjects enrolled in this study. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism had significantly lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels than those who were euthyroid. The lipid profiles were each categorized and mean thyrotrophin levels were higher in subjects in the dyslipidemia subclasses than subjects in the normal subclasses. Thyrotrophin was positively associated with serum triglyceride and negatively associated with serum HDL-C in women. Thyrotrophin was also positively associated with total cholesterol (TC) in the overweight population along with TC and LDL-C in overweight women. In the euthyroid population, thyrotrophin was positively associated with TC in the overweight population. In conclusion, serum thyrotrophin was correlated with dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroid and euthyroid subjects; the correlation was independent of insulin sensitivity.

Background Paeonia ostii seeds were identifed as novel sources of edible plant oil with a high proportion of α-linolenic acid, a type of n-3 fatty acid with many health benefts. Due to the unreliability of seed oil content and quality, it is necessary to discover the mechanism underlying lipid biosynthesis in Paeonia ostii seeds. Objectives This study aimed to identify the key genes involved in lipid biosynthesis in Paeonia ostii seeds by analyzing the relationship among the seed characteristics and the expression patterns of lipid genes in Paeonia ostii during seed development. Methods Preliminary research on Paeonia ostii seed development was carried out from 10 days after pollination until maturity, focusing on phenology, oil content and lipid profles. In addition, we investigated the spatiotemporal expression of 36 lipid biosynthetic genes in Paeonia ostii by using quantitative real-time PCR. Results The results suggested that the development of Paeonia ostii seeds from pollination to maturity could be divided into three periods. The 36 lipid genes showed various spatiotemporal expression patterns and fve gene groups with distinct temporal patterns during seed development were identifed by clustering analysis of expression data. Furthermore, the relationships between gene expression and lipid/fatty acid accumulation and some candidate key lipid genes were discussed. Conclusions This study provided the global patterns of fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis-related gene expression, which are critical to understanding the molecular basis of lipid biosynthesis and identifying the lipid accumulation rate-limiting genes during seed development.

An in vitro Actinidia Bioassay to Evaluate the Resistance to Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae

Wang, Faming,Li, Jiewei,Ye, Kaiyu,Liu, Pingping,Gong, Hongjuan,Jiang, Qiaosheng,Qi, Beibei,Mo, Quanhui The Korean Society of Plant Pathology 2019 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.35 No.4

Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is by far the most important pathogen of kiwifruit. Sustainable expansion of the kiwifruit industry requires the use of Psa-tolerant or resistant genotypes for the breeding of tolerant cultivars. However, the resistance of most existing kiwifruit cultivars and wild genotypes is poorly understood, and suitable evaluation methods of Psa resistance in Actinidia have not been established. A unique in vitro method to evaluate Psa resistance has been developed with 18 selected Actinidia genotypes. The assay involved debarking and measuring the lesions of cane pieces inoculated with the bacterium in combination with the observation of symptoms such as callus formation, sprouting of buds, and the extent to which Psa invaded xylem. Relative Psa resistance or tolerance was divided into four categories. The division results were consistent with field observations. This is the first report of an in vitro assay capable of large-scale screening of Psa-resistance in Actinidia germplasm with high accuracy and reproducibility. The assay would considerably facilitate the breeding of Psa-resistant cultivars and provide a valuable reference and inspiration for the resistance evaluation of other plants to different pathogens.
