Abstracts of major papers in this issue

A plural istic approach to the study of context , by Hu Z huangl in , p . 161

Contex t contributes positively and g reatly to the interpretation of discourse meaning and has been
a co ncern of semanticist s , pragmaticians , ethnologist s , ant hropologist s , philosophers , and cognit ive
scientists .Following the steps of their research , one can w itness t here has been a trend t o move from
a monistic approach to a pluralistic approach , although scholars dif fer in their classification .T he paper
also touches upon t he relation bet ween objective contex t and cogni tive co ntex t , and t he cognit ive-psy-
chological st udy of contex t as w ell .

Discourse production and comprehension :The role of sequential markers , by Li u Li jin , p . 167
T his art icle reports an em pirical study of the role of sequential markers in discourse product ion and
comprehension .Sequential markers o r connect ives serve to highlight continui ty and discontinui ty of
propositions in discourse .T hese markers can be signals to improve discourse comprehension , and also
traces of discourse_production diff iculty w hen a topic shif t occurs .T he data obtained in t he empirical
study , by and large , confirm this dual role and support the hypot heses as follow s :T he propo rtion of
sequential markers increases as t he discourse st ucture becomes hierarchically higher , and t he more dif-
f icult t he discourse production becomes , the more f requently the markers appear , especially and as a
trace , though it will not aff ect the function to highlight continuity of proposi tions .

Milestones of natural language processing technology , by Changning Huang & Ashley Chang , p .
180
T his paper is a brief discussio n of t he major finding s and developments i n the f ield of Natural Lan-
guage P rocessing (NLP)in the past 50 years .F irst , the co rpus invest ig at ion has show n the f ollowing
tw o facts :(1)Sing le labeled PSG rules are not suf ficient f or natural language description , and (2)
PSG rules have skew dist ribution in text corpora , i . e .the t otal number of PSG rules does not seem to
be able to cover the language phenomena found in a large corpus, w hich is out of most linguists' expec-
tation .T he development of N LP technology has been under t he inf luence of t he two f acts mentioned
above .And there have been three major breakthroughs and milestones in t his field :(1)multiple f ea-
tures and unif ication-based grammars , (2)lexicalism in linguistics research , (3)Statistical Language
M odeling (S LM)and co rpus-based approaches .T he latest investigations reveal that the bot tleneck
problem in the NLP technology is the problem of obtaining and developing large-scale linguistic know l-
edge ;t herefore , t he corpus const ruction and st at istical learning theory become key issues in NLP re-
search and application .

Further reflections on functional stylistics, by Shen Dan , p . 188

T his paper contains further reflections on functional st ylistics in term s of 1)style and t he criteria
of relevance , 2)t he si tuational contex t of the li terary text , 3)qualitative f oregrounding versus quanti-
tative foregrounding , and 4)the relationship betw een linguistic analy sis and literary interpret at ion .
