科学实验证明中文比英文难学
常听外国人说学中文好难啊。科学家最近证明他们的抱怨不是娘娘腔，实验证明人在说中文时必须使用两边大脑的配合，然而讲英语的人则只需使用大脑的一侧就能完成任务，这项研究还认为语言本身也可能影响幼儿大脑的发育方式。
索菲．斯科特（Sophie Scott）是维尔康托拉斯（Wellcome Trust）的一位心理学家，她与来自牛津和伦敦各医院的同事给实验对象听他们的母语，同时给这些人做脑部扫描。当讲英语的人听到 Mockney，Mersey 或Geordie 时他们的左脑发出信号。而当讲国语的人听到中文时左右两边大脑均发出相应的信号，表明两边大脑都在活动。
我们很惊讶地发现说不同语言的人，他们的大脑使用不同的方式来破译传递谈话信息， 斯科特博士说，这打破了长久以来人们固守的一些理论。
一般说来人的左脑主管的是串联人说话的声音而组成词语；而右脑的任务则是处理旋律和语调。英语里的单词不具备语调之分。在中文里。不同的语调则表达不同的意思，例如ma 这个音节根据其声调的不同可有多种意思：妈，骂，马，麻。
讲话事实上是错综复杂的声音组合，斯科特博士说，如何说一个词，比如采用不同的音调和声调，影响最后大脑对其意思的理解。这一系统必须非常强健和灵活，才足以应付不同人在说话声音上的不同，地方口音。我们认为讲国语的人不断用右脑解析语调和旋律，来理解对方所说的意思。 这项研究足以解释为什么英语为母语的人感觉学起中文来如此之难。斯科特博士还认为语言本身也可能影响幼儿大脑的发育方式。
这一研究成果帮助科学家理解语言是如何被被大脑接受的，它可能最终会帮助为那些言语能力受损的中风患者提供新的治疗方法。

Tags: TclDOM vs tDOM There are two well-known packages for processing XML documents in Tcl: TclXML [1] (and related packages) and tDOM. One very common question is “Which package should I use for XML processing, and why?”. This page summarizes the features and differences between the two packages in order to provide a (hopefully) unbiased […]

tDOM requires less (or no more) memory
tDOM is at least as compliant as TclXML, which relies on GNOME projects libxml and libxslt
Some responses from the tDOM side are really arrogant. Steve Ball has […]

Don’t Learn XML?
Why not learn XML? The short answer is: because “learning XML” is a complicated task–a chore much more complicated than learning, say, HTML, and one that you don’t need to put yourself through if you’re just looking for a better system for document […]

EXSLT is a community initiative to provide extensions to XSLT. The extensions are broken down into a number of modules, listed below. We are trying to encourage the implementers of XSLT processors to use these extensions, so that your stylesheets can be more portable. If your XSLT processor doesn’t support a particular extension, you can […]

Steven Ball’s TclXML. For a long time I thought it was a Tcl-only implementation, which would have performance concerns. I thought I had tried an earlier version of it. It looks like it does have an interface to EXPAT, which should provide the same performance as tDOM.
Installation seems to be a hassle, though. Will definitely […]
