话语联系语在英语议论文中的语用认知对比研究

论文摘要

本论文旨在研究中外大学生英语议论文写作中话语联系语的语用认知差异。此项研究是建立在22 篇英语本族者和126篇中国英语专业学生的同题英语议论文基础上,采用定量的方法,以关联理论和Halliday(1995)关于话语联系语的分类标准为理论基础进行的研究。该研究在句子的不同层面,从横向(数量)和纵向(类型)两个角度探讨了话语联系语使用的语用和认知差异。研究表明,从语用学的角度来讲,中国英语专业学生在话语联系语的使用方面存在着过度使用和欠缺使用。过度使用主要用于表示添加、说明、时间、因果和条件意义的话语联系语,而欠缺使用主要用于表示澄清和变更意义的话语联系语。该研究还指出,在不同的句子层面,中外大学生具有不同的认知模式:在句内,中国英语专业学生在语义构建上更偏向于用话语联系语来表示概念的横向叠加,而英语本族语者则偏向于用它来表示概念的深层加工;在超句层面,中国英语专业学生更偏向于构建从句,而英语本族语者则偏向于并列句。由于关联理论从本质上来讲是交际理论,因而从交际的角度来讲,中国英语专业学生在写作时多以话语联系语来体现自我的意见从而影响读者的理解和推断,而英语本族语者则更多的用它来将读者引入语言的编码过程,从而给予读者更多的空间来做自我的理解和推断。问卷调查也表明,对话语联系语的认知会影响其语用选择,从而影响其认知模式。该研究对写作教学的意义在于:话语联系语的教学应该得到更多的引导,特别是比较难的话语联系语的深层加工;加强写作时与读者交流的意识。
