理论语言学论文英文摘要的系统功能研究

论文摘要

摘要作为原文准确、简要的概括,具有重要作用和意义。过去出版了许多标准摘要写作指南。同时,国内外诸多学者研究了不同学术和专业领域的摘要文本,从不同视角对特定学科论文摘要的结构、语言和文体特征进行了探索。然而直至近来,对理论语言学论文英文摘要的语言特征仍鲜有研究。本文运用三大元功能理论和语域理论,对广泛查阅的理论语言学论文英文摘要进行分析,从而概括其普遍语言特征,旨在对英文摘要写作提供帮助。通过考察摘要各个语言特征的出现频率、统计出现频率高的语言特征,本文所收集摘要的普遍语言特征概括如下:(1)物质过程为表达经验意义的主要手段;关系过程是反映摘要作者所认为最重要的标记和价值的重要方式。无施为句,包括被动句,是摘要句子的主要特征,用来确保摘要中信息的客观性。(2)不含情态助动词的限定句普遍存在。一般现在时的肯定陈述句在句中占绝对比例,用以提供信息。信息的客观性通过尽可能少地使用语气附加语和中度或高度情态助动词来保持。(3)语篇主位和经验主位最为普遍;摘要作者很少使用人际主位,以确保摘要信息的客观性。多重主位占多数。非标记主位占绝对多数。指称和词汇衔接是复句之间最常见的衔接手段;连接、指称和词汇衔接是小句间和内部的主要衔接手段;而介词和连词是词或词组间和内部的主要衔接手段。理论语言学论文英文摘要最突出特征是借助措词来保持其学术客观性。通过分析摘要的语域,证明以上语言特征是理论语言学论文优秀英文摘要的普遍语言特征。研究发现将有助于高级英语学习者改进其论文摘要,以使其更易于被国际学术界所接受。
