跨文化词义的比较与翻译

词汇是语言符号和体言中的最小的有意义的语言载体,对跨文化词义的社会性、文化性、民族化、地理环境和喻体相异性、习俗的文化意义等进行比较,有助于跨文化翻译.采用异化法、异化解释法、归化法、归化意译法等方法,将翻译置于跨文化交际中进行,以达到跨文化交际中的文化效应最大近似或对应.     

西方跨文化管理研究的层次分析与时间演进——文献综述

本文在大量相关文献分析的基础上，借鉴国内外相关研究成果，对西方跨文化管理理论研究中的理论、方法、模型与时间阶段进行了系统分析。从层次分析的角度，本文检视了霍夫斯塔对人类精神程序的层次分析、文化的横向层次分析和卡罗汉纳的纵向层次分析。从时间演进的角度，本文将西方跨文化管理研究分为20世纪50年代的初步研究、60-70年代的组织理论研究、80年代的日美文化比较研究、20世纪80～90年代的维度理论与结构性分析、21世纪初的整合性研究五个阶段。

Subordinates' perception of managers' transformational leadership style and satisfaction: a comparison of electronic manufacturing companies in Mainland China and Taiwan

Rapid economic growth has made leadership studies a significant subject in Asia. The present research compared subordinates' different perceptions of managers' transformational leadership style in Mainland China and Taiwan. Quantitative methodology was used in collecting 250 random samples from Shanghai and Taipei. Subordinates in Taiwan perceived that more managers had a transformational leadership style and also employees had higher satisfaction with managers' leadership style than those in Mainland China. The results of the present research would provide suggestions and directions for industrial managers seeking to display appropriate management behavior for an effective business environment.     

跨文化交际中的禁忌语浅议

禁忌语作为不同文化普遍存在的一种特殊形式,在交际中扮演着重要的角色。因而,在教学中教师应该尽可能的给学生讲解与文化相关的知识。只有这样英语学习者才能真正的表达出自己所想要表达的意思,才能提高他们的跨文化交际能力。     

中西方教育的跨文化比较

文化与教育关系密切,文化影响教育,教育是文化的一面镜子。中西方教育都有着自身的特点,因此在相互学习、取长补短的教育改革过程中,应充分考虑各自的文化背景。     

A Cross-Cultural Examination of the Endorsement of Ethical Leadership

The western-based leadership and ethics literatures were reviewed to identify the key characteristics that conceptually define what it means to be an ethical leader. Data from the Global Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness (GLOBE) project were then used to analyze the degree to which four aspects of ethical leadership – Character/Integrity, Altruism, Collective Motivation, and Encouragement – were endorsed as important for effective leadership across cultures. First, using multi-group confirmatory factor analyses measurement equivalence of the ethical leadership scales was found, which provides indication that the four dimensions have similar meaning across cultures. Then, using analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests each of the four dimensions were found to be universally endorsed as important for effective leadership. However, cultures also varied significantly in the degree of endorsement for each dimension. In the increasingly global business environment, these findings have implications for organizations implementing ethics programs across cultures and preparing leaders for expatriate assignments. Christian J. Resick is Assistant Professor of Industrial and Organizational Psychology at Florida International University. His research is aimed at understanding how people interact with and influence various aspects of their work environments, including cultures, climates, leaders, and teammates along with the implications for various aspects of organizational behavior. A particular focus of Christian’s work examines ethical leadership and the critical linkages between leadership and organizational ethics. He received his Ph.D. from Wayne State University. Paul J. Hanges is a professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland and the head of the Industrial/Organizational Psychology program in the department.

对文化"定势理论"的反思

文化定势是一种不可避免的普遍现象,具有相对的稳定性和延续性.影响文化定势形成的因素包括教育、个人交际经验和媒体等.在学习和交际实践中,定势既存在积极的作用,也存在消极的作用.培养跨文化学习能力,就应该不断地对定势进行反思,解构欠准确的定势,从多维角度观察文化并建构新的定势.     

中西思维之异同与翻译

人类思维具有共性和个性,共性是我们交流的前提,个性是各民族在交流过程中需要适当转换才能进行的一些差异。思维方式与文化和语言有密切的关系,它是沟通语言和文化的桥梁。深入掌握中西思维方式的不同之处,对于我们正确处理句式翻译和语篇翻译以及成功地进行跨文化交际,具有重要的意义。     

从文化角度积极影响学生的英语口语学习动机

通过调查问卷和访问等形式可以发现当前非英语专业学生中普遍存在提高英语口语的迫切需求,但是真正提高口语所需的长期的练习和持之以恒的毅力,又是大部分学生所缺乏的。要想改变这一现状,一个可行的办法是在口语课堂上除了了解英语表达的基本句式、基本词汇等机械性内容之外,还必须加强体现英语语言所承载的文化内涵,从而促进学生口语学习的外在动机向内在动机转化,切实提高学生的口语练习热情和恒心,达到扎实而长远地提高口语的目的。
