香港人講「懶音」的情況愈來愈普遍,如「女仔」說成「呂仔」(n-、l-不分),「過」、「個」不分(gw-、g-不分),「講解」說成「趕解」(-ng、-n不分),「襪」、「默」不分(-t、-k不分)等等。
為了加強學生對粵語的敏感度,協助學生說出流利的粵語,提升整體的表達能力,我們申請了香港理工大學「教學發展及語文培訓補助金」(Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant for Language Enhancement Activities, LEG16-19/SS/CBS9),開展「『粵語懶音測試及糾正』網站」計劃。此計劃的目的是協助學生以標準的粵語作日常的交際溝通,減少懶音,以恰當、得體的粵語與外界接觸,完成傳意任務。

由於漢字數量多、結構複雜,香港學生寫錯別字的情況甚為普遍。進入大學後,學生主要使用電腦輸入文字,手寫中文的機會更大為減少,導致錯別字的問題愈見嚴重。多年來,不少學者已就此問題進行各項研究,而坊間的相關參考專書更是汗牛充楝,不可勝數。然而,上述所論多從傳統的形音義角度出發,較少從文體、語境方面加以深入討論。
有見及此,我們去年申請了香港理工大學「教學發展及語文培訓補助金」(Teaching Development and Language Enhancement Grant for Language Enhancement Activities, LEG16-19/SS/CBS10),開展「『專業文體的錯別字糾正』網站」計劃,旨在探討於特定場合或行業語境下之實用文類的錯別字問題,藉以協助學生準確書寫各類職場文書,以恰當、得體的書面語言與外界接觸,完成傳意任務。

The notion of expertise is integral to all forms of institutional and professional practice in many domains – in education, healthcare, social welfare, law, journalism, banking, information technology, marketing, translating and interpreting services etc. It is a concept addressed by scholars across many disciplines – cognitive science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, language/communication studies, among others. There are, however, enduring problems of definition, description and measurement of expertise. Some scholars draw attention to the ongoing ‘crisis in expertise’ and others pronounce the ‘death of expertise’ in contemporary society.
More humbly, I begin with a characterisation of professional expertise very broadly to include scientific, experiential, technological, organisational, legal, ethical and communicative knowledge. This then leads me to the notion of ‘distributed expertise’, which extends beyond the individual remit and the conventional lay-expert divide. For instance, in the healthcare domain, a significant development afforded by internet-based technology is the increased level of patients’ e-health literacy and, consequently, democratisation of expertise. This amounts not only to accessing health information digitally, but also the phenomenon of patients ‘doctoring’ themselves in ‘the now of its presence’, i.e., ‘expert patients’ becoming instrumental in self-diagnosis and even self-treatment.
Additionally, ‘distributed expertise’ is also constitutive of ‘expert systems’, e.g., diagnostic and interventionist technologies as well as decision aids mediated by algorithms and templates. This is what I refer to as the technologization of expertise. I suggest that there is overreliance on ‘expert systems’ by both experts and lay persons in everyday decision making. Access to and use of ‘expert systems’ in optimal ways inevitably necessitates a reconfiguration of the very conditions and consequences of professional expertise.
