A Dangerous Game: The Dehumanization Of Children In Massachusetts Testing And Data Discourse, Gregory Shea Jan 2017

A Dangerous Game: The Dehumanization Of Children In Massachusetts Testing And Data Discourse, Gregory Shea

The Graduate Review

A great deal has been written about the ills of standardized testing, most of which focuses on their lack of validity and negative impacts on students. One topic that has not been explored in depth is the ways in which the discourse around testing can dehumanize public school students. This paper turns its attention to utterances of the Massachusetts Commissioner of Education, Mitchell Chester, along with the utterances of the superintendents of two large urban districts in Massachusetts. The thesis of this discourse analysis is that the words of these administrators betray an unconscious but troubling ideology of dehumanization. The …


香港話中特有的程度副詞, Yin Kwan Chu Jan 2017

香港話中特有的程度副詞, Yin Kwan Chu

Dissertations from all years

粵方言的語法與現代漢語非常不同,尤其是港式中文的用字更是與眾不同。香港人說話時喜歡使用大量程度副詞以加強語氣,於是近年出現不少香港獨有的程度副詞,它們的用法和效果比起現代漢語已有的程度副詞更是別具特色。受網絡媒體以白話文傳播新聞的影響,,因此,本文將通過分析十個香港特有的程度副詞例子,從而探討現時港式程度副詞的四個特色,探討現時香港使用程度副詞的情況。

本文主要分成兩大部份,第一部份集中介紹較少被談論到的港式程度副詞,分述十個程度副詞在新聞和日常溝通中的使用方法,並以網絡報導的內文為例句,列出它們和其他詞類的搭配情況。十個例子分別是OK、認真、真心、無敵、終極、堅、有啲、鬼咁、丁丁咁、幾咁。

第二部份主要討論四個香港程度副詞的特色,並會以本文介紹的十個例子作論述,討論為何港式程度副詞可以單獨使用、會受英語影響而出現、會從實詞虛化成副詞、程度義不明顯。

最後結語部份會總括香港程度副詞的現時狀況和對未來香港的程度副詞發展作出期望。


淺析明末清初的給予句標記及「畀」字的語法功能和語法化過程 : 以木魚書《花箋記》和《二荷花史》作例, Sin Ting Lam Jan 2017

淺析明末清初的給予句標記及「畀」字的語法功能和語法化過程 : 以木魚書《花箋記》和《二荷花史》作例, Sin Ting Lam

Dissertations from all years

「畀」字在現今粵語中身兼多個語法功能,包括給予義、使役動詞和被動標記用法。一個字能夠從實詞義虛化成介詞義,必定經過語法化過程。本文以木魚書著作《花箋記》和《二荷花史》作為研究文本,淺析「畀」字在兩書的用法和語法改變。先搜集兩書中的給予義標記用法,並以共時的研究探討其和「過、與」的競爭關係。以及「畀」字的不同語法功能,發展為工具標記、使役動詞和被動標記的語法化過程及其原因,透過木魚書著作《花箋記》和《二荷花史》了解當時粵語的語法特點與木魚書格律的關係。

論文共分五章。第一章略論研究原因、研究範圍與方法;第二章先整理兩書中給予義標記用例,透過考察三者的語法功能和使用頻率分析與格標記弱化的原因;第三章先述「畀」四個語法功能,並討論《花箋記》和《二荷花史》「畀」字工具標記和被動標記的語法化過程。第四章總結兩條語法化過程及論文的局限。


改編與創造,論哪吒故事的前世今生, Pui Shan Lin Jan 2017

改編與創造,論哪吒故事的前世今生, Pui Shan Lin

Dissertations from all years

提起中國文學作品裡的叛逆神童,大家都會想起哪吒。他雖然年紀輕輕,卻有大鬧東海的本事,後來更以削骨還父、削肉還母的方式自盡。他的故事人人都耳熟能詳,但哪吒的故事是怎麼來的呢?它經歷了多少個版本,才變成我們今天熟知的故事?它在現代文學中又是怎樣被傳承?

民間經典傳說與神話自古多以不同的文學形式傳承,同一個故事可以藉由詩詞、話本、章回小說等形式流傳。只是當中情節會隨時代轉變、編者意願等不同因素而與原著有多少出入。例如《封神演義》是取材自宋元《武王伐紂平話》 ,加入姜子牙與諸神合力伐紂興周的神怪之事寫成的。由此可見,改編經典故事並非現代文學所獨有的創作手法。而首個以現代小說技巧重新書寫民間經典傳說的,就是中國現代文學之巨人魯迅。他的著作《故事新編》是由八篇中國古代傳奇故事改編而成,是一本具現代社會意義、令人耳目一新的新編小說集。這種以經典故事為現代精神之載體的創作手法,為後人所仿效,以致許多我們耳熟能詳的故事,得以被賦予全新的精神面貌。

本論文將關注哪吒故事的流變,以及它在現代社會中的改編版本,探索其分別在不同年代、不同地區、不同作家筆下的版本差異。本文將取奚淞《封神榜裡的哪吒》、西西《陳塘關總兵府家事》和蔡明亮電影《青少年哪吒》為現代哪吒故事例子,藉此歸納整理經典故事改編的手法和現代意義。


論金庸筆下的明教和拜火教之關係, Kin Pui Yau Jan 2017

論金庸筆下的明教和拜火教之關係, Kin Pui Yau

Dissertations from all years

本文以當代武俠小說泰斗金庸筆下的明教為研究對象,探討其與傳統拜火教之關係。論文共分四章:起首的緒論略述金庸的宗教觀及淺說其作品的宗教色彩;第二章中嘗試以《倚天屠龍記》為例子,透過書中的內容,具體論述明教中所蘊含之拜火教影子;第三章則先談論拜火教與摩尼教之間的關係,繼而敘述明教中的摩尼教特點;最後一章則為結語。

本文嘗試整理及歸納眾多原始文獻及各類型宗教史,以說明拜火教在中國的源流,並點出拜火教與摩尼教的關聯,及後透過文史互證的方法,把金庸所述的明教中所隱藏的拜火教特質一一點明,以窺見金庸在取材上的巧思及明教與拜火教之間的關係。
