中美企业英文网页语篇人际意义的实证研究

论文摘要

企业网站中的公司概况部分介绍了各企业的历史、提供的服务、产品和相关信息,使读者对该企业有初步了解,同时有助于树立良好的企业形象。但是,从语言学的角度对存在于网络这个虚拟世界中的企业概况语篇进行研究并不多见。因此,本文以系统功能语法为理论指导,试图研究该类语篇中蕴含的人际意义,探讨在词汇语法方面如何实现语言的人际功能。本文依据韩礼德的功能语法理论中关于语言的人际元功能的阐述,对40篇中美企业英文网站中的企业简介语篇进行分析。分析分为个人和交互两个方面,包括情态系统、语气和人称等三个词汇语法层面。研究发现,情态表达以礼貌和协商态度表达了作者/企业服务读者/顾客的意愿。此外,通过选择语气尤其是陈述语气的广泛使用,一方面促进了企业简介语篇作者和读者之间的互动,另一方面,也体现了作者作为信息提供者的角色。人称词的应用也促进了作者和读者问的互动,有利于作者和读者间的协商并且拉近两者间的距离。通过对情态表达、语气和人称在样本语篇中分布情况的比较,我们发现中国企业的英文简介在这方面和美国同行有所差异。总体上,美国企业简介语篇更好地传递了人际意义,实现语篇的语旨,这也是中国的语篇撰写者应该学习的。
