"A Chinese/Japanese contrastive study on intentional modality expressions : (intention type+) to-omou vs. yào, tsumori-da vs. dă suàn, and yotei-da vs. zhŭn bèi"
Get PDF"Modality is defined as an expression that shows a speaker’s attitude towards truth. Various modality expressions exist in Japanese. Among them, to-omou, -tsumori-da, yotei-da are used to express a speaker’s intentions. These expressions are introduced to Chinese students learning Japanese as a second language at the beginner’s level. The Japanese expressions of to-omou, tsumori-da and yotei-da are translated into yào, dă suán, zhŭn bèi in Chinese. However, while these pairs are similar, they slightly different in meaning, often resulting in errors by native Chinese speakers. Thus, the present study conducted a contrastive study on intentional modality expressions of to-omou vs. yào, -tsumori-da vs. dă suàn, and yotei-da vs. zhŭn bèi to clarify the differences in meanings between Chinese and Japanese in order to promote the understanding of these Japanese modality expressions for native Chinese speakers leaning Japanese.
Study on three proxy variables of China's GDP : From the perspective of multiple regression analysis
Get PDFThe aim of this study is to examine the usefulness of multiple regression analysis by conducting an analysis using Chinese GDP as an objective variable and the Li Keqiang index， namely， electricity usage by the industrial sector， railway freight quantity ， and growth of bank loans as explanatory variables. Firstly， we used correlation analysis to determine the correlation between our objective variable and explanatory variables. We found the explanatory variables electricity usage by the industrial sector and growth of bank loans to have a strong correlation with objective variable GDP. However， this correlation analysis found only weak correlation between railway freight quantity and GDP. From this study， we learned that if we add road freight quantity to railway freight quantity，using the resulting freight quantity as an explanatory variable，there was a strong correlation with GDP. We also found that when a revised version of the Li Keqiang index is used， there is a very strong correlation between these three explanatory variables and GDP. Additionally， we considered multicollinearity while conducting this study. The fact that these three new variables-specific economic activities-each showed strong correlation with China's GDP suggests that GDP statistics accurately reflect economic conditions. Therefore， Chinese GDP statistics are useful. We also believe that these three new variables are proxy variables for GDP
