语音研究工作坊第5期
Bilingualism has become the new norm in the modern world. The change in the environment introduces new challenge in parenting choices among modern families. Specifically, parents are concerned whether they should raise their children in a bilingual environment. Most concerns come from anecdotes claiming that children growing up bilingually may suffer from a slower pace of linguistic development compared to their monolingual peers. This talk summarizes findings on the similarities and differences between monolingual and bilingual infants in linguistic domain. It attempts to relate to studies in cognitive, sensory, social and neural fields, and proposes an interactive model for the effects of early bilingual development. Conclusions are drawn in favour of raising a child in a bilingual environment, along with the discussion of some life-long impacts of bilingualism.

随着21世纪知识经济日益发展; 跨国交流日益频繁, 处在地球村大背景下的韩国也正和其他国家一样,面临着极大的压力和挑战。随着人口结构与产业结构的变化与国际化的影响， 21世纪韩国高等教育的发展趋势正呈现新的特点，即福利化、终身化、信息化和全球化。

与韩国高等教育的多样发展趋势相反，韩国大学生的生活日趋面临各种困难与挑战。几年前的韩国流行“三抛时代”，现在的韩国流行五、七、九抛时代的说法。韩国政府在摸索韩国高等教育新的发展模式时没有顾及高等教育的实际消费者大学生的利益。韩国的大学生们前途暗淡，以致抛弃希望，这成为韩国高等教育的最大的隐患。

1789年法国大革命爆发后，拿破仑建立法兰西第一帝国，法国走上对外扩张之路。法兰西第二殖民帝国成立于19世纪中上叶，并在第一次世界大战后达到顶峰。法国成为仅次于大英帝国的第二大殖民帝国。而法兰西庞大的殖民体系在第二次世界大战期间逐渐解体。受法国年鉴学派的影响，记忆研究成为史学研究的新领域。那么，如何在今日法国书写一部殖民记忆史呢？法国历史学者Sophie Dulucq教授将为我们带来全新的解读视角。

讲座题目：共和国与世俗化在法国
法国是一个具有天主教传统的国家。1900年，98%的法国人仍信仰天主教。然而，自1870年开始，共和体制成为法国最终的政治体制。与此同时，世俗化也得以确立，即将国家、学校、道德和天主教（及其他宗教）严格分离。法国为何做出了如此选择？由此带来的宗教、文化和社会影响是什么？世俗化是否无法宽容宗教（历史上的天主教，今天的伊斯兰教）？该讲座将选取历史和现实的事例回答以上几个问题。

The Pulitzer Prize in Drama, which was first awarded in 1918, remains the most respected prize in theatre in the United States. Indeed, most of the Pulitzer plays have entered the canon of U.S. drama and still circulate widely. This has been especially true since World War II, when virtually every major playwright has won at least one award, including Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Edward Albee, Tony Kushner, Paula Vogel, and Suzan-Lori Parks. The canonizing power of the Pulitzer Prize is especially marked outside the U.S., where the winning plays form a kind of instant canon of work which is performed and studied. Outside the U.S., it is rarely noted that the Pulitzer plays tend in fact to be more conservative both aesthetically and politically than many other U.S. plays and deeply tied to the U.S. cultural elite which bestows the award. In this seminar, we will survey the field of Pulitzer Prize-winning plays since World War II and consider how and why they were selected. We will also analyze the narratives and myths this canon of plays consolidates about society, politics, and art in the U.S.

美国音乐剧最早起源于从欧洲传入的轻歌剧。十九世纪的音乐剧并没有完整的脚本，而是由剧作家根据某个明星的特点为其写作歌曲和表演内容。这种以演唱为主要表演手段的剧目，剧情往往具有固定套路，总是有个皆大欢喜的结局。1920年代公主剧院上演了以机智对话、令人欣喜的各种意外、迷人音乐和鲜明美国特色人物与情节为特点的小制作音乐剧。这使音乐剧能够将更为复杂的人物心理、美国历史和美国文学融入其中。1927年《演出船》(Show Boat)的上演宣告作为独立剧种的美国音乐剧形成了，而剧中那首控诉美国黑人苦难命运的《老人河》(Old Man River)更是成为人们耳熟能详的歌曲。之后涌现的《为你歌唱》(Of Thee I Sing!)，《俄克拉荷马》(Oklahama)，《国王和我》（The King and I），和《南太平洋》(South Pacific)等优秀剧目不仅以颇具社会批判的视角参与建构了美国文化，也展现了音乐剧这种独特舞台表演形式的多重艺术维度。

摘要：
Auditory perceptual simulation (APS) during silent reading refers to situations in which the reader actively simulates the voice of a character or other person depicted in a text. In three eye-tracking studies and one event-related potentials (ERPs) study, APS effects were investigated as people read utterances attributed to a native English speaker, a non-native English speaker, or no speaker at all. APS effects were measured via online eye movements or ERPs, and offline comprehension probes. Results demonstrated that inducing APS during silent reading resulted in observable differences in reading speed when readers simulated the speech of faster compared to slower speakers, and compared to silent reading without APS among native English speakers and bilingual speakers. APS of both native speech and non-native speech increased native English speakers’ reading speed, facilitated deeper, less good-enough, sentence processing, and improved comprehension compared to normal silent reading. When readers engage in APS during silent reading, they had smaller ERP amplitudes than normal silent reading, suggesting that APS requires extra attention and effort. The effects of APS on language processing and comprehension as well as its mechanism will be discussed.

The OBOR project is likey to have far reaching implications on South Asian politics, economy and security. China has been engaging in the region through various economic and development projects for last decades. But, OBOR touches one of the sensitive issues between India and Pakistan-Kashmir. This has irked India.

Growing bilateral trade investments and development related connectivity projects in India's neighbourhood have been popularly dubbed as China's 'String of Pearl Strtegy'aimed to contract India's sphere of influence in the region. There is a deficit of trust between emerging India and rising China about their interests and intentions.

Many observers however, view OBOR as a game changer at least in South Asia, where this would necessitate re-alignment and re-balancing. But, how does India perceive this project is a matter of serious concern that would shape the nature of implications on South Asia? China can play a constructive role by reconciling its grand strategy with national interests of South Asian countries in order to minimize the adverse of OBOR on the peace and security of the region.

This seminar reviews two emprical cases of Indo-Pak border trade in Jammu and Kashmir region and would strongly advocates Confidence Building Measures (CBM)as the only way forward for China and India.
