The usage of book titles is relatively simple, but the titles of books and newspapers are not used in "so-and-so editorial department", "so-and-so magazine" and "so-and-so column". The author searched 50 kinds of books and periodicals at hand, and found that there was no clear standard of use, which was difficult to master.
Among the 50 publications searched, the editors and publishers of 30 books and periodicals signed "Magazine Name+Editorial Department", among which 23 newspapers and periodicals added titles, such as People's Literature Editorial Department, Reading Editorial Department, China Monthly Editorial Department, China Construction Editorial Department and Curriculum Textbooks and Methods Editorial Department. The seven journals without titles are: Editorial Department of China Women's Magazine, Editorial Department of People's Education, Editorial Department of Chinese World, Editorial Department of Novel Monthly, Editorial Department of Celebrity Biography, Editorial Department of Qiushi Magazine and Editorial Department of Middle School Mathematics Monthly.
Let's look at the signature of a magazine. Among 50 kinds of publications, 34 kinds of editing and publishing units have the signature of "magazine name+magazine", among which 15 has added book names, such as Chinese Monthly, Friends of Chinese Teaching, Chinese Teaching and Research, and Ideological and Political Teaching and Secretarial Work. The 19 untitled periodicals include Semimonthly Talk, Qiushi, China Women, Philosophical Research, Reading and Writing, China Chinese, China Today, China Children, People's Literature and Family.
Some newspapers are even inconsistent in their use. When the People's Daily advertises its subordinate news front, it doesn't have a title, but it does when it uses news front magazines. Legal Daily appeared in the same article as Jinjian magazine when it promoted its subordinate magazine.
The use of the title of "so-and-so column" is even more confusing. In China Education News, "All books published in' Teachers' Study Room' can be purchased here", and the column name of' Teachers' Study Room' is in quotation marks; Among the winning works of Cultural Vision in the first quarter, the title of Cultural Vision column is the title of the book. They are all Chinese publications. When introducing its own column, Chinese Monthly uses quotation marks instead of titles. When you learn Chinese to promote your own publications, you use column titles instead of quotation marks. Contradictory, I don't know which is the correct usage.
No matter whether there are publications with titles or not, there are national journals, Chinese professional journals or Chinese core journals with wide influence. It's really confusing whether to use the title of the book or not and which usage is standardized.
The meanings of "so-and-so editorial department", "so-and-so magazine" and "so-and-so column" will not be misunderstood, but because of their high frequency of use, if there is no unified usage, it will inevitably affect the standardization and seriousness of language and literature work. It is hoped that the relevant departments can formulate unified standards as soon as possible to standardize this usage.
The usage of punctuation marks stipulates that the title of a book is used for the title of a book, the title of an article, the name of a newspaper, the name of a publication, etc. 1990 In March, the State Language Committee and People's Republic of China (PRC) Press and Publication Bureau re-issued the revised usage of punctuation marks. The title is defined as follows:
The forms of titles are "double titles" and "single titles".
Title of the book, article, newspaper, publication, etc. , are marked with the title of the book.
A) The author of A Dream of Red Mansions is Cao Xueqin.
B) Have you read Kong Yiji by Lu Xun?
His article was published in People's Daily.
There is a book "The Language of China" on the desk.
When the book title is still used inside, the outer layer uses double titles and the inner layer uses single titles.
For example, the preface of China Workers was published on February 7th, 1940.
But in actual use, the title of the book has gone far beyond this range, and titles of movies and TV series are often used, such as:
(l) I once went to see Roman Holiday with the girls in the dormitory ... (Southern Weekend, 22nd edition, April 7th, 2004).
(2) Liang Congjie bluntly said: The TV series April Day on Earth is a double distortion of historical facts and cultural spirit. (Title: China Reading Newspaper, fifth edition, May 2000 10)
The title or title can also be abbreviated or combined, because it is also a title, which is equivalent to the full name in people's minds. The function of book title is to distinguish between book title and non-book title and avoid misunderstanding. Some people use quotation marks instead of book titles, so the burden of quotation marks is too heavy. Judging from the actual use at present, most publications add the title after the abbreviation of the title or article. For example:
(1)1June 9961People's Republic of China (PRC) national standard punctuation usage (general usage) is not clearly defined. (Language Construction, No.2, 2000, p. 15)
(2) Modern Chinese Dictionary (1978) has added many new words ... Of course, these conditions of modern Chinese have been greatly improved in the revised edition. (Language application 1999 1 page 105)
(3) Do dolls need to read The Four Books and Five Classics (Family Education, No.3, 2004) today?
In addition, TV programs sometimes use titles, such as:
(1) Economic Channel has launched many distinctive columns among a large number of famous brands, such as Economic Half-hour, Economic Information Network, Lucky 52, Happy Dictionary, Dialogue, Life, etc. (People's Daily)
(2) The evening leading columns "Economic Half-hour" and "Economic Information Network Broadcasting" together with the newly opened morning column "First Time" and the midday column "Global Information List" form the main line of the economic channel; The service section includes life, frontier, healthy road, serving you and providing meticulous life service for the audience. (People's Daily)
This usage has been widely recognized by people. In addition, the titles of plays, songs, music, paintings, sculptures, photography and other works can also be marked with titles. The role of book titles has been expanded to represent the names of various works (including works expressed by words, sounds, images, actions, etc.). However, we can't expand the scope of book titles at will, such as product name, prize name, organization name, activity name, course name, conference name, etc.
I hope it helps you.
When you ask about correcting mistakes, tell the truth. This kind of question is the most difficult to answer. How to say it is reasonable?
For example, I think this sentence is generally correct.
But if there is a mistake, I can say there is ambiguity. The meaning of this sentence is not clear whether to dare to imagine or to dare to imagine.
