何为经典？经典何为？英国著名诗人、批评家T.S.艾略特把经典分为两类：绝对经典和相对经典。绝对经典就是不同时代不同国别的读者都自愿去阅读的作品；相对经典就是某个时代或某个国家的读者喜欢阅读的作品。经典不是任何人可以随意创造，也不是任何人可以随意销毁的。就像中国文学经典如唐诗宋词、元明戏曲和明清小说，这些经典没有人会强迫我们去阅读，但它们以其本身的艺术价值吸引一代又一代的读者，成为不朽的文学经典。外国文学中也有数量众多的经典作品，从荷马史诗、莎士比亚、歌德、巴尔扎克到福克纳、马尔克斯等等，每个国家都有各自的文学经典。为什么要读经典呢？因为这些经典历史影响巨大，它们反映了普遍的人性和普遍的问题，它们词采华丽思路绵密，它们思想深邃结构雄浑庞大，它们跨越时间和空间，留给人们永恒的真理。

Three variables explain the unusual volatility of the 2016 US Presidential campaign cycle. The first of these, weakened political parties, reflects an anti-establishment skepticism of government that dates to the 1960s. The second, the rise of money in American politics, relates to the increasing use of computer technology available to candidates since the 1980s. The final variable is a disenchanted and alienated electorate that has come to believe that government is not useful to people in their ordinary lives; many of these voters as a result feel disconnected from the entire political process.

It is by now well-known that in speech communication, the same string of words can be uttered differently as a function of different preceding discourse contexts. Little, however, is known about how exactly discourse context affects the way an utterance is formulated (or planned). In this talk, I will discuss results of two studies which aimed to shed some light on this issue. In both studies, participants described pictures of two-character transitive events and their eye fixation patterns were recorded (via an eyetracker), together with the response time of their speech, as indices of their utterance planning processes. The first study zoomed into the effect of focus while the second one giveness, two important dimensions of discourse context on sentence planning. Results suggest that discourse context affects the time course of linguistic formulation in simple sentences but its effect can be modulated by language-specific linguistic structures as well as the planning scope of the utterance (which provides further evidence for highly incremental planning in sentence production).
