中美英文周刊中的话语标记语研究

论文摘要

话语标记语是话语中普遍存在的词或短语，是一种常见的语言现象。自Halliday和Hasan合著的《英语中的衔接》及Schiffrin的《话语标记语》出版后，人们对于话语标记语的兴趣越来越浓厚。语言学各个分支的学者都做过很多这方面的研究。这些研究多是以口语为研究对象。 本文旨在对一种书面语中话语标记语进行研究。本文采用语料库方法以两种英文周刊《北京周报》和《新闻周刊》中的新闻报道为语料，以其中的话语标记语为研究对象，进行了两个语料库之间的对比分析，试图说明这两种英文周刊在使用话语标记语时的异同。本文可为本领域的研究提供一些客观的、经验性的资料，并希望能对话语标记语的教学和学习做出一些新的贡献。
