It is believed that Michel Foucault‟s Madness and Civilization explores the history of madness and the relationship between reason and unreason. In his book, the unreason or madness can‟t be defined clearly. He thinks people have different cognitions and attitudes to madness in different periods of civilization. The relationship between reason and unreason changes over time. They are not opposed at the beginning instead they impact each other in life and work. In English novels, there are many descriptions of madwomen. Jean Rhys‟ Wide Sargasso Sea is the prelude of Charlotte Bronte‟s Jean Eyre. “The mad woman in the attic” in Jane Eyre is Antoinette in Wide Sargasso Sea. There are many reasons for the madness of Antoinette. What caused her madness can be interpreted well with Foucault‟s madness theory. This paper tries to prove that Antoinette‟s madness is the tragedy of racialism and colonialism and give suggestions to the construction of unreason in the human civilization.

Metaphor, as a common linguistic phenomenon, has been the focus for most linguists. In recent decades, as metaphor highly concentrated on the political discourse development, more and more linguists have begun to emphasize on metaphorical use in politics. However, scholars pay less attention to Chinese political discourse metaphors. Critical metaphor analysis is a new metaphor research method proposed by Charteris-Black in 2004 with the intention to reveal the hidden ideology, attitude and beliefs concealed in discourses. The paper attempts to conduct Critical Metaphor Analysis approach to the analysis of Chinese Government Work Report. With collecting the data of Chinese Government Work Report in 2018 from official website, the paper aims to analyze its potential metaphorical functions and reveal the hidden ideology of the Chinese government work report. Meanwhile, the present paper is supposed to provide a new perspective to the theoretical research in the area of CMA. Besides, it is expected that the research will help government promote its political ideology and help the populace understand better the policies of our government.

This study examines the instrumentality of English in writing good research papers. Writing is an interesting intellectual process. Research papers cover a wide range of topics. Poor mastery of English in English-speaking non-native regions is evident in research papers, and this is unacceptable. The study hinges on an integrative theoretical underpinning which explores insights from contemporary English grammar and principles of writing. Data are generated from research papers across academic disciplines. They are analyzed in terms of the conventions of English (grammar and vocabulary) and principles of writing that the writers have either articulated or violated. This study concludes that effective use of English in research papers presupposes use of correct spellings, appropriate vocabulary, grammatical constructions, progressive paragraphs, accurate transitional expressions, creative description of phenomena and proposition-reporting verbs.

With the acceleration of globalization and the increasingly complex international situation, language is not only a written symbol, but also a social and cultural function to mark countries and nations. Great changes have taken place in people's view of language. Some linguists are no longer confined to the study of micro-linguistic phenomena such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, but focus more on macro-linguistic phenomena closely related to national interests and national security. Especially with the development of modern informationization in recent years, language policy has also become an important topic of concern to linguists. This paper discusses the research of American minority language policy based on knowledge base from the research background, research purposes, research ideas, research methods, innovations, and theoretical and practical significance.

The ontological study of visual verbs mainly focuses on the meaning and grammar of visual verbs, while the grammar study focuses on the grammar of patterns, syntactic functions, grammaticalization, pragmatics and collocation. The cognitive research of visual verbs mainly includes categorization, life meaning, and metaphor and so on. The semantic research of visual verbs mainly includes polysemy and its meaning evolution, word-formation semantics, lexical semantics, syntactic semantics, and semantic field.
