Influencing Factors of “Two Combinations” in Arming Youth’s Cultural Confidence
- Authors:
- Keywords: Theoretical Armament; “Two Combinations”; Youth Cultural Confidence; Influencing Factors
- Abstract: Against the backdrop of accelerating global transformations, intensified ideological competition and cultural conflicts have become increasingly prominent. How to strengthen youth cultural confidence through theoretical armament and address the challenges of the world and the times has emerged as a critical issue. This study employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to empirically examine the factors influencing youth cultural confidence through the “Two Combinations” theoretical framework. The research reveals that university factors dominate among multiple influencing elements. To effectively leverage the “Two Combinations” in enhancing youth cultural confidence, it is essential to reinforce universities’ primary role, optimize their curriculum systems, harness the functions of university-based mass organizations, and establish segmented groups for youth theoretical armament. These measures provide theoretical foundations and practical insights for overcoming the cultivation challenges of youth cultural confidence and improving the effectiveness of theoretical propaganda.

- Abstract: The Austronesian language group is spoken in China by the Gaoshan people of Taiwan and the Huihui People from Sanya in Hainan (SYH). The origin of the SYH is still unclear. This article compares the Austronesian languages of China’s Taiwan region with the Tsat based on research on the correlation between language and genetic evolution and explains the SYH and their evolutionary history. This article supports the view that the modern SYH originated from three ancestral sources: Central/South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, with the East Asian people being the main body. The formation of the modern Hui people in East Asia was due to both cultural and demographic diffusion.

A Study on Translator’s Subjectivity in Poetry Translation Guided by Skopos Theory
- Authors:
- Keywords: Translator’s subjectivity; Skopos Theory; Cultural adaptation; New Culture Movement
- Abstract: This study investigates the manifestation of the translator’s subjectivity in Zheng Zhenduo’s Chinese rendition of Tagore’s Stray Birds through the lens of Skopos Theory. Situating the translation practice within the New Culture Movement of the 1920s, the research examines how Zheng’s “enlightenment-oriented” translation purpose shaped his strategic choices. Textual analysis reveals three key dimensions: Firstly, Zheng localized cultural imagery and reconstructed prosodic patterns to align with vernacular modernization. Secondly, his subjectivity manifested in dynamically balancing fidelity and creativity, preserving Tagore’s pantheistic essence while employing cultural adaptation through omission/amplification. Thirdly, Zheng’s dual identity as a translator-editor engendered ideological intervention through paratextual framing. The study demonstrates how translator subjectivity under Skopos’s Theory facilitated literary canon reconstruction, offering fresh perspectives for modern translation historiography.

How to Make Construals for Language Activities More Dynamic
- Authors:
- Keywords: conversation; dynamic construals; image schemas; teaching grammar
- Abstract: This article aims to give a cognitive linguistic account of providing dynamic construals for classroom activities within the context of second language teaching. After a brief discussion of possible conceptual issues involved in construal operations and image schemas in conversational type activities in teaching Present Continuous Tense, it will be argued that a suitable cognitive linguistic framework is needed to model the various complex dimensions of teaching grammar, providing the solid foundation for the productive activities. Following a short introduction to various parts of construal operations and the nature of schemas in cognitive linguistics, five types of conversation activities (interview, discussion, narratives, arguments or debates and role play) will be positioned within two influential models of cognitive linguistics, i.e., “linguistic construal operations” developed within various constructions of “image schemas.” Then, a link will be established between the concept of linguistic construals and different types of image schema, which provides a toolset for modeling the implicit knowledge structures underlying specific usage events in communication. For the assessment of the suitability of the proposed framework, the article concludes with a discussion on good lesson plan criteria from cognitive point of view which can provide a measure learning value in language activity.
