论文摘要: 以韩礼德语言纯理功能之说和功能语法关于人际意义系统的阐述为出发点,以古典修辞学关于劝说和受众的理论、社会建构理论关于知识及知识建构的学说、布朗-莱文逊的礼貌理论以及修辞学视角的体裁理论等相关学说为理论依据,本论文主要致力于提供一个阐释英语元话语的人际-修辞功能的多维视角。本论文的目的包括揭示元话语手段所具有的人际意义潜能,明确元话语在标明作者贡献新知时所发挥的劝说力,反映元话语如何通过保全作者、读者双方的面子来实现作者与读者之间的互动,以及为解释科研论文作者如何利用元话语实现劝说目标提供指导性框架。本论文也试图通过有限的科研论文语料考察元话语的使用是否具有普遍特征和文化差异,旨在为我国学术用途英语写作教学提供有益的借鉴。本论文共分五个章节。第一章阐述研究目的和研究方法,并简要介绍论文的布局。在这一章里,我们指出本研究基于对专业学术写作的理解和以往元话语研究的不足。我们还明确了诸如学术用途英语对比修辞、学术话语社团、学科规范等重要概念。第二章回顾过去三十年的相关元话语研究。对以往元话语理论的回顾使我们发现大多数研究视角不能充分、合理地阐释元话语如何在学术篇章中促进作者与读者之间的互动。而过去的一系列相关实证研究表明,学术写作领域鲜有学者对元话语在英语科研论文中的使用情况做过中英或者中美跨文化修辞研究。第三章讨论英语元话语的人际-修辞功能多维度研究视角的理论基础和构成要素,同时为下一章的小规模实证研究提供理论依据。第三章分两个部分:第一部分阐述如何借鉴功能语法、古典修辞学、社会建构理论和礼貌理论认识和理解元话语;第二部分详述该研究视角的构成要素。这些构成要素涉及以下观点:所有的元话语手段都可以用来表达人际意义;元话语协助作者完成理性诉求、人格诉求和情感诉求,这个过程要符合其所在学科社团对劝说的理解;在利用元话语实现学科社团内部作者和读者之间的互动时,作者必须遵守礼貌原则,并且结合特定的学术磋商语境执行它们;科研论文作者可以利用元话语获得“圈内人”身份。
