《型世言》《儿女英雄传》反身代词计量比较研究

通过对《型世言》和《儿女英雄传》反身代词的研究,我们发现：从数量分布上看,＂自己＂打败了＂自＂,占据了绝对的优势,非常接近其在现代汉语中的分布。从历时的角度来看,尽管近代汉语的＂自己、自家＂与古代汉语的＂自＂有历史继承关系,但他们与近代汉语的＂自＂有着不小的差别：＂自＂通常与谓词紧密相连,表示行为状态的排他性,因此在语言结构组合的能力上较缺乏独立性。＂自己、自家＂则可以较多地单独用作主语、定语和宾语,具有代词的独立性。

Time-varying managerial overconfidence and corporate debt maturity structure

We examine the impact of managerial overconfidence on corporate debt maturity. We build upon the argument that managerial overconfidence is likely to mitigate the underinvestment problem, which is often the major concern for long-term debt investors. Within this context, we hypothesise that managerial overconfidence increases debt maturity. Our empirical evidence, based on time-varying measures of overconfidence derived from computational linguistic analysis and directors’ dealings in their own companies’ shares, supports this hypothesis. Specifically, we find that the changes in both first person singular pronouns and optimistic tone are positively related to the change in debt maturity. Moreover, we find that the insider trading-based overconfidence of CEO, who is most likely to influence investment decision and thus the underinvestment problem, has a stronger impact on debt maturity than the overconfidence of other directors (e.g. CFO). Overall, our study provides initial evidence for a positive overconfidence-debt maturity relation via overconfidence mitigating the agency cost of long-term debt.

The impact of pronoun choices on consumer engagement actions: Exploring top global brands' social media communications

To enhance the understanding of consumer engagement with brand content on social media, this study examines how pronoun choices affect different types of consumer engagement (e.g., likes, comments, shares) by simultaneously exploring five different pronoun types (first-person singular, first-person plural, second person, third-person singular, and third-person plural). Furthermore, this study explores how the effects of these linguistic (pronoun) choices vary across two brand classifications: characteristics (hedonic vs. utilitarian) and offerings (goods vs. services). The proposed multivariate Poisson regression model, analyzing 15,788 unique brand posts from Facebook over an 8-month period, reveals differences in engagement due to pronoun usage across brand classifications. These results offer a deeper understanding of how the way brands talk to consumers on social media platforms influences consumers' attitudes (likes), propensity to engage with the brand (comments), and willingness to share branded content with their social networks (shares) across different brand classifications.     

人称代词在英汉招聘广告中的运用比较

人称代词是使用频率非常高、功能十分重要但形式却相对比较简单的一种词类。本文在对英语人称代词的各种语用规则进行总结的基础上，通过对各类英语招聘广告中人称代词出现频率的概率统计，试图得出英语招聘广告中人称代词实际运用的语用意义。最后比较了人称代词在英汉招聘广告中的运用频率，再一次强化了英语人称代词实际运用的语用意义，以促进英语学习。
