投射小句在新闻语篇中的元功能研究

论文摘要

投射是一种转述他人或自己话语和思维的语言现象。这一复杂的语言现象涉及到许多层面的结构和意义。因此为了更加全面有效的解释这种语言现象,本文试图在系统功能语言学框架下,从元功能研究角度出发探讨投射语言中的投射小句现象。投射语言已受到越来越多研究者的关注,在语篇中出现频繁的投射语言是实现语篇语言的准确性、客观性以及文体正式性等特点的主要手段。新闻语篇的行文特点决定了投射小句在新闻语篇中起重要作用,即增强语篇客观性和正式性,因此研究新闻语篇中的投射小句现象具有重要意义。本文主要从投射小句的结构关系入手。运用系统功能语言学的元功能理论,从概念功能,人际功能,语篇功能角度对英文新闻语篇的投射小句现象进行对比分析,并通过分析投射小句以及投射动词的分布状态,揭示了新闻语篇投射特点。本文运用了系统功能语言学中的元功能理论对英文新闻语料中的投射现象进行分析。结合新闻语篇的特征和目的,探讨新闻语篇中的投射小句现象。研究发现:新闻语篇当中确实存在大量的投射小句;通过投射小句的运用,不仅实现了报道客观的目的而且使新闻报道的语言生动活泼。另外还对新闻语篇投射小句及投射动词的应用进行总结,揭示了投射的语篇体裁变差,并对语篇结构与语篇体裁之间的关系作了初步的解释。即投射结构的选择受到语体类型的制约。通过以系统功能语法的元功能的理论为框架,揭示了新闻语篇中投射小句特征,对于深刻理解和洞察作者的写作意图有很大的帮助。与此同时,通过对投射小句的研究,更好的帮助新闻撰写者在新闻体裁语料搜集整合时迎合读者的阅读习惯,从而使读者更加清晰的掌握新闻所传达的有效信息。
