官方讲话中中国英语语言思维区别性特征研究 ——温总理、布什讲话比较个案研究

论文摘要

英语已经成为一种多国、多文化、多功能的国际通用语。英语这一国际通用语的迅速国际化必然引起其广泛的本土化,在与世界各地语言的接触中产生不同的语言变体。这些带有不同地域色彩的语言变体不断发展,并逐渐被接受,在国际交流中发挥着越来越重要的作用。英语在中国的本土化过程中,逐渐打上中国文化和中式思维的烙印,形成了具有中国特色的变体---中国英语。从其历史发展的角度来说,中国英语在中国经历了洋泾浜英语---中国式英语---中国英语三个阶段。本文通过对两个选自于因特网的文本的量化分析,讨论了中国英语在语篇方面的一些主要特征,并试图从语言和思维两者关系的角度探索形成中国英语语篇特征的内在原因,指出了中国英语的研究对英语语言教学所具有的指导性意义,及其对语言发展、国际交流的重要促进意义。
