英语写作中连词衔接研究及对英语课堂教学的启示

论文摘要

一般说来，英语作文老师对学生写作中的句法错误关注得较多。然而，即便是没有语法错误，一篇文章也会由于没有恰当的使用连接词而缺乏连贯性，显得杂乱无章。因而，每次在让学生写作之前，帮助学生学会如何使语篇衔接与连贯，并将之运用到写作中去，会使学生的写作获得更佳的效果。 在此文中，笔者引用了Halliday，M．A．K．以及Dreeler，W．U．和Canal，M．关于写作中衔接与连贯的思想，在对衔接与连贯的概念和两者之间的关系作了全面地厘定过后，笔者对学生写作中出现的连接词衔接问题进行了研究和分析。为了使本研究更具有说服力，笔者将英语国家作者的作文与中国学生的作文进行了比较，并且在语篇分析的层次上就连接词的使用进行了展示，对比了两者之间的写作的特点。 笔者探讨了中国学生写作中存在的问题，同时就写作时如何使文章更加连贯提出了一些自己的看法，认为学生在写作时，应该更加有效地使用连接词的衔接，并且要避免误用或滥用。
