The travel of the ‘tongue’ through time and space: a case study of translanguaging in the Macanese food

Lili Han, Zhisheng (Edward) Wen, Hui Wu

Page range: 1-19

Abstract

The Proto-Indo-European root of the word ‘language’ is dnghū , which means ‘tongue’. Though the concept of ‘translanguaging’ has received enormous research enthusiasm in recent years in both theoretical conceptualization and pedagogical applications, most research has focused on its prefix ‘trans-ʼ (i.e., the boundary-breaking ideology) and its suffix ‘-ing’ (i.e., the on-going process), while its stem ‘-language-’, that is, the ‘tongue’ itself has received less attention. In the current paper, we aim to explore how translanguaging is enacted in the Macanese food (e.g., Fat Tea, or Chá Gordo in Portuguese) through absorbing and mixing multiple flavors or tongues, including Portuguese, Malaysian, Indian, Japanese, Cantonese and some African cuisines. In particular, we highlight their diversifying fusion tastes by tracing the Portuguese maritime expansion itinerary routes alongside their multilingual naming practices ( Bacalhau , Minchi , African Chicken ) in tandem with the transcending memories (from the past to the present). Overall, it is argued that through the analytical lens of the translanguaging perspective, the tongues between the tastes of the food and the languages spoken allow us to peer into the critical values, identities and relationships of the multilingual Macanese group in Macao.

Mobile applications in developing phonetic competence of the Chinese language

Oksana Asadchykh, Nataliia Sorokina, Tetiana Pereloma, Oleksandra Popova, Vladyslava Konotopets

Page range: 21-36

Abstract

This work examines the relevance and practical value of using mobile applications to develop phonetic competence in the Chinese language among future philologists–sinologists. The study aims to analyse the advantages of mobile applications for both classroom and autonomous learning, focussing on their structure and functions. The research methods employed include theoretical substantiation and the characterization of Standard Mandarin and HelloChinese mobile applications. This study asserts that incorporating these mobile applications enhances the assimilation of practical material and increases students’ motivation to master Chinese phonetics. Furthermore, the researchers have developed a set of exercises that utilize these mobile applications, aiming to improve students’ phonetic competence in the Chinese language, whether in a foreign language classroom or during autonomous learning. Results of the research are based on a quantitative investigation, which demonstrates the effectiveness of mobile applications at all stages of future philologists–sinologists’ language practice. Additionally, the use of mobile applications assists in monitoring students’ performance through intermediate assessments. The research findings further confirm the high efficiency of mobile applications in developing phonetic competence, particularly in the context of distance learning.

漳州方言多功能词 “共” “合” 的历时分布与演变

Yuhang Xu, Qiuping Hong

Page range: 37-51

Abstract

提要本文考察新近整理、刊行的三本17世纪 “西班牙语-闽南语” 文献, 辅以19世纪罗马字语料和21世纪共时调查结果, 以相互间隔两百年的三个连续时间段描写、比较多功能词 “共” “合” 在漳州方言的用法, 从历时角度探讨其语法功能叠置特征和竞争演变状态。研究表明, 类同于音韵层次叠置现象, 漳州方言多功能词 “共” “合” 因功能叠置而在历时上发生竞争, 从功能叠置走向功能互补, 演变特点差异显著。 “共” “合” 在漳州方言中的分布与演变可为两者在其他地区闽南方言中的关系提供参考, 亦为历史层次分析理论作用于语法领域提供实例论证。

马来西亚华语中的趋向补语

Jinyu Qi

Page range: 53-62

Abstract

摘要本文基于口语和书面语语料库, 对马来西亚华语中的趋向补语进行考察, 并与普通话对比。归纳出其三方面的特殊用法, 分别是动趋式带宾语的语序, 特殊结构 “V (O) 来/去O 处所 ” 和 “V到来/去O”, 且这些用法在书面语和口语中呈现出一定的语体差异。究其原因, 马来西亚华语中趋向补语的特殊用法主要来自马来西亚华人三大 “源方言”, 尤其是粤方言的影响。
