论话语标记语WHY

论文摘要

谢芙琳把话语标记语定义为黏附在句子上的、用来分割话语单元的话语成分。话语标记语的研究起始于二十世纪七十年代,此后,许多人对话语标记语的研究产生了兴趣。本文以话语标记语WHY 为研究对象。第一章阐述了研究动机和话语标记语的术语以及定义的多样性,回顾了话语标记语的研究理论与成果,分析了英语单词WHY 的各种功能。第二章以谢芙琳的连贯模式为指导,对话语标记语WHY 展开讨论。第三章和第四章分别在关联理论的框架和语用学的范畴内讨论话语标记语WHY。第五章从历时的角度对话语标记语WHY 做了定量分析,以证明该标记语在当代话语交流中的逐渐消退。第六章考察了当代话语交流中常见的其它五个话语标记语,并得出结论:这五个话语标记语已经或正在逐渐取代话语标记语WHY。
