CHEN Ling-jun，ZHAO Chuang

Abstract: With Martin and White’s appraisal theory as the theoretical framework for discourse analysis, this study adopts qualitative and quantitative methodologies to analyse the implicit and explicit attitudinal resources in Chinese dream news discourses chosen from Chinese authoritative sources ofand Xinhua News Agency. It has been found that most of the attitudinal resources are appreciation and judgment, which are mainly realized through such means as lexical, syntactical and rhetorical strategies implicitly or explicitly. All these positive evaluations help construct a discourse mode for interpreting the connotation of Chinese dream in terms of a strong, civilized, harmonious and beautiful nation centering on collectivism ideology. Meanwhile, the social values and meanings of Chinese dream are also well presented in the study.

No Name Woman’s Identity inand

CHENG Mei，LI Jing

Coetzee, each has a mysterious no name woman as its protagonist, i.e. the narrator’s aunt in the formerand the barbarian girl in the latter. After a comparative reading, this paper finds that the two women, with no name, thus no identity, no status, are victims of patriarchal and tyrannical systems. However, among their ill fate and silence, they claim their existence by articulating strong rebellious voices against hegemony and male chauvinism in their feminist delicate ways.

Narrative Design and Suspense in Agatha’s Detective FictionA Stylistic Analysis of

LIN Xue-ping

Abstract: The successful suspense generation in Agatha Christie’s classic detective storyis partly attributed to the author’s skillful design of narrative perspective of the fiction. In applying zero focalization, the narrator of the story tends to focus on some aspect of the omniscient angle to hold back certain key information from readers, and characters’ interior monologues are also tactically selected to regulate narrative information and distance so as to provide readers with dissymmetric information. Limited visual angle of character-focalizer is also frequently employed to produce suspenseful effects by presenting misleading information to readers, thus affecting readers’ interpretation of the story and further bringing readers a thrilling experience of suspense and aesthetic joviality.

An Analysis of the Communicative Predicament inin Light of Habermas’ Theory of Effective Communication

ZHANG Jin-liang

Abstract: Communicative predicament is one of the important themes of David Mamet’s. Most critics attribute the causes of communicative difficulty in this play to sexual harassment, political correctness, academic elitism, etc. This paper applies Habermas’ theorization regarding the preconditions for effective communication to the discussion of the communications in this play, and concludes that the formation of the communicative cul-de-sac lies in the absence or shortage of the preconditions for effective communication. Therefore, even though the personae have strong intentions to reach understanding, their communications end in failure. Transpositional thinking and mutual understanding are the key to unravel the communicative predicament.
