This study, based on the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), explores the extended meaning unit of the node word “divorce”, analyzing its semantic tendencies, word class connections, and semantic prosody features from both noun and verb perspectives. The findings show that “divorce” has a broad range of applications, with its use as a noun being more formal. The word class connections associated with “divorce” are rich and varied;its semantic tendencies are overwhelmingly neutral, followed by negative, with positive semantic tendencies being extremely rare. The collocation of “divorce” with “from” is relatively special, reflecting a dual semantic tendency. Furthermore, two sets of fixed structures exhibiting negative semantic prosody were identified. In addition to co-occurring with words that have positive/negative connotations, “divorce” also demonstrates its semantic prosody characteristics through causal logic and parallel constructions. Moreover, there is a phenomenon of irrationally amplifying its negativity, which should be avoided. In the process of language learning and research, English learners can benefit from the analysis of extended meaning unit to better understand and use the word.展开更多

Based on the previous work concerning simulation of the nucleation and dendritic growth of primary α-Mg during the solidification of magnesium alloy under HPDC process, an extension was made to the formerly established CA(Cellular Automaton) model with the purpose of modeling the nucleation and growth of Mg-Al eutectic. With a temperature field and solute field obtained during simulation of the primary α-Mg dendrites as the initial condition of the modified CA model, modeling of the Mg-Al eutectic with a divorced morphology was achieved. Moreover, the simulated results were in accordance with the experimental ones regarding the distribution and content of the divorced eutectic. Taking a "cover-plate" die casting with AM60 magnesium alloy as an example, the rapid solidification with a high cooling rate at the surface layer of the casting led to a fine and uniform grain size of primary α-Mg, while the divorced eutectic at the grain boundary revealed a more dispersed and granular morphology. Islands of divorced eutectic were observed at the central region of the casting, due to the existence of ESCs(Externally Solidified Crystals) which contributed to a coarse and non-uniform grain size of primary α-Mg. The volume percentage of the eutectic β-Mg_(17)Al_(12) phase is about 2%-6% in the die casting as a whole. The numerical model established in this study is of great significance to the study of the divorced eutectic in the microstructure of die cast magnesium alloy.展开更多

While divorce has long been culturally discouraged and limited, divorce has been rapidly increasing after the renovation policy in late 1980s with alternative causes, consequences, etc Modernization is a process of transforming ＂traditional＂ society to ＂modern＂ one, in order to achieve economic development and growth, to innovate politics and to enhance their social structure towards a political, social, and economic system similar to those of western developed countries. In the field of marriage, family, and kinship, modernization process experiences the maintenance of traditional values and the appearance of the new modern values.

China＇s top legislature, on August 27. One of them, the controversial draft on marriage and family, has aroused much debate among Internet users. It proposes a one-month cooling-off period for couples who wish to part ways and apply to divorce registration agencies. During the cooling-off month after a divorce registration agency receives a divorce application, either the husband or the wife can stop the application. After the cooling-off month, both sides are required to go to the agency for the divorce certificates. Failing to do so will mean the divorce application is canceled automatically.展开更多

This was due in great part to the promulgation of a series of marriage regulations and to the Party＇s extensive mobilization of women. Examining both the public and private domains in terms of changes affecting tradition, revolution, and gender, the authors investigate the ways that marriage transformation intertwined with national wars, political changes, and gender liberation. Our analysis reveals that marriage institutions experienced a severe crisis as traditional needs and new longings, such as marriage freedom, wartime needs, and the stability of rural traditions, family, and social structures, intersected. The Chinese Communist regime carried out successive adjustments in marriage policies as they affected women. With Party support, the paradigm of ＂wives divorcing husbands＂ became de facto marriage policy in order to adapt to resolve conflicts between emotions and the law and to meet the requirements of rural society and military stability. Seeking to shake off the traditional ＂oppression-liberation＂ paradigm, the research in the present article tries to combine the study of female existences, marriage, and the relevant emotions with rural traditions and the historical background of wartime China, so as to explain the changes in women＇s marital status and the nature and significance of their so-called liberation in wartime revolutionary bases in North China.展开更多

文摘Lobola is central to the process of marriage in many African communities.It is an old tradition that historically entailed a gift from the bridegroom's family to the bride's family.In some African societies,determinants of lobola include a range of factors,such as the bride's educational,financial,and social status,the bride's age,number of children and whether the bride has had any history of divorce.However,attitude toward remarriage and payment of lobola to a divorced woman is often characterized by skepticism.In most instances,the worth of pride price to be paid to the divorced woman's family is often devalued,decreased,deemed unacceptable,and frowned upon,while male divorcees do not face such prejudices.Overtly or covertly,the social conviction seems to be that there should not be payment of lobola in remarriage after divorce.Consequently,the decision to remarry postdivorce remains particularly difficult for most Black African women due to the stigma attached to divorce.In contrast,men still enjoy the right to divorce and remarry with little or no prejudice.Using bargaining theory,this article examines the body of literature on cultural attitudes toward the payment of lobola following divorce in South Africa.The article argues that the payment of lobola is fundamentally patriarchal and perpetuates most of the social tribulations and marginalization practices against women.
文摘Divorce is transforming the lives ofAmerican children. In the post-World WarⅡ generation, more than 80 percent ofchildren grew up with both biologicalparents. Today only half will do so. Eachyear more than a million children experiencefamily breakup; about as many are born outof wedlock. At the same time, the problemsassociated with family disruption havegrown. Over-all child well-being hasdeclined, despite historically high publicspending. The teen suicide rate has almosttripled. Juvenile crime has increased
文摘Marriage has become less common,while the incidence of divorce has risen in Iran.These have made marriage facilitation and divorce prevention as the cornerstone of population policy.It is clear that prediction of the incidence of marriage and divorce will help policy makers to design effective interventions.This paper uses the number of marriages and divorces between 1980 and 2017,published by the Statistical Center of Iran,to predict the incidence of marriage and divorce through 2027 at the national level.Given the limitations of common methods,such as ARMAX,ARMA,MR and AR,in predicting time series with abrupt changes,this paper applies a mixed method,which combines the Neural Network and the Wavelet mathematical tools.The comparison between the data and the results obtained from the wavelet-neural network confirms the precision of the model.The precision and validity of the neural-wavelet network model is further confirmed by the fact that it has been able to reduce the mean sum of square of errors to a larger extent than the Neural Network models.The findings show a 3%decrease in the number of marriages,from 704,716 in 2017 to 683,190 in 2027.On the other hand,the number of divorces has increased by 30%,from 181,049 in 2017 to 235,407 in 2027.Thus,the number of divorces per 100 marriages will increase from 25.7 to 34.5 just in a decade,which calls for effective interventions if family formation and consolidation are to be improved in Iran.
文摘未婚者、新婚者或是久婚者,都能饶有兴味地读这篇文章。我们往往强调:新婚后的一段时期是夫妻双方的“磨合期”,似乎,过了这段特殊的时期,夫妻就能恩爱到老。本文从崭新的视角来观察分析这段所谓“磨合期”。调查证明,新婚后的romance(注:这个词很难翻译,若译成“浪漫情调”失之肤浅,若译成“恩爱”又失之偏狭。恕暂且保留romance不译)越长,婚姻延续的时间也越长: Those couples headed for a quick divorce——in less than two years——tended to become disillusioned(幻想破灭)and negative toward one another withintwo months of being wed. Those couples most likely to be married for the long-term are those whomaintain their positive feelings for their spouse for at least the first two years.
