语言类型学•中东宗教与文化系列讲座第二讲
小亚细亚是古美索不达米亚文明与爱琴文明联系的桥梁和纽带。赫梯宗教是苏美尔、巴比伦、埃及和古叙利亚宗教的混合物，宗教活动包括占卜、献祭、斋戒和祈祷，而不具备伦理意义。流行占卜和巫术。崇拜仪式在神庙或露天祭坛上举行。祭司应严格遵守洁净仪式的教规，住于神庙中。献祭用的牺牲一般为动物，间或也有人祭。此外，还要按季节举行崇拜宴，奉献初熟的果品和无残疾的动物。拜的神灵多不胜数。

赫梯语属印欧语系中已消亡的安纳托利亚语族。曾分布在小亚细亚（今土耳其的亚洲部分）一带。文字采用楔形文字，是拥有最古老文献的印欧语。1878年，索绪尔发表了著名的《论印欧系语元音的原始系统》（Mémoire sur le système primitif des voyelles dans les langues indo-européennes）， 提出“喉音理论”。半个世纪以后，人们发掘出了古印欧语赫梯语的材料，证实了索绪尔在半个世纪以前拟测的正确性。

国际公务员是指在国际组织等国际常设机构中工作的人员，国际公务员制度成型于1920年国联成立之时。经过近一个世纪的发展，这项制度日趋成熟，对各国的优秀人才具有巨大的吸引力。作为一个整体，国际公务员也成为国际合作与全球治理领域的一个重要主体，在政策制定和规范引领上发挥着重要作用。本次讲座将主要探讨三个问题：1. 联合国人事制度的历史与现状；2. 国际公务员如何促进全球治理的事业；3.国际组织招聘的要求以及如何进行准备。

在“寄希望于台湾人民”的战略方针的指引下，中央推出了一系列惠台政策。惠台政策为台湾民众带来大量利益的同时，这种经济领域交流的效应是否如大陆所期待的那样，外溢到政治层面。本文以台南市学甲区（原学甲镇）为例，考察这一惠台政策最直接受惠区域的政治变迁，进而见微知著，分析惠台政策对两岸关系的影响机制。本文发现，“经济获利”是政治影响的起点，“印象变化”是政治影响的关键。经济上的受惠，加之对大陆印象的改善，学甲的民意已经出现微妙的变化，这说明“惠台政策”的明确成效。这种成效还将产生了一定的“示范效应”，其政治效果不仅影响了学甲，还在向更大的范围扩散。在这个意义上，本研究是“软实力”策略的典型案例。
