The Genre of Obituary and the Evaluation of the Deceased: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Obituaries in People’s Daily

CHANG Cui

Abstract: To complement the synchronic studies of obituaries in the field of linguistics， this paper takes a diachronic perspective to observe changes in the generic structures of obituaries and their relations with the ideologies in the relevant historical period. Firstly， applying Swales’ genre analysis to the observation of the generic structures of obituaries published in People’s Daily during 1949-2015， the paper discovers that the move structure of the obituaries remains unchanged except for addition or deletion of “steps” in certain moves. The paper then proceeds with using Fairclough’s model of critical discourse analysis to interpret these changes in “steps”. It concludes that the evaluative way of the deceased， the attitudes towards the reporting itself， as well as the view of life and death are seen changing in the obituaries.

Crisis Assessment Discourse in Hotline Psychological Counseling and Related Training

GAO Yi-hong，LIU Feng-qin

Abstract: Crisis assessment in psychological counseling refers to the evaluation of clients’ suicide probability. The speech used in this process is crisis assessment discourse. This action research attempted to explore hotline counselors’ crisis assessment situation and difficulties， verbal expressions used in professional crisis assessment， and crisis assessment training. Two questionnaires were conducted on hotline volunteer counselors and professional counselors， focusing respectively on crisis assessment difficulties， and the verbal expressions used. Findings revealed cultural appropriateness as a major challenge in crisis assessment， and common patterns of crisis assessment discourse regarding suicidal thoughts，intentions， plans and actions. Based on these findings， group training was conducted for volunteer counselors. It was proposed that members of the professional counseling culture should achieve desensitization of suicidal discourse. Verbal expressions for crisis assessment at four levels were introduced， and an actual counseling case was analyzed. Preliminary feedback showed that the training served to improve counselors’ awareness and skills of crisis assessment.

Connector Usage in Spoken English of Chinese Learners Based on the Use of though

SHI Jian-gang，SHAO Bin

Abstract: This paper， based on the comparable data from three spoken English corpora， explores the use of though in learner speech. The results suggest that compared with English natives， Chinese learners tend to apply avoidance of the use of linking adverbial though， overuse the initial position of subordinator though and incorrectly use though together with but in one sentence. The results demonstrate learners’ inadequate mastery of the usage of though and other connectors. Based on the disparities in linguistic systems and degree of markedness between learners’ L1 and L2， the paper analyses the underlying causes for the inadequacy from the perspective of L1 transfer.
