英语旅游语篇的系统功能语言学分析

论文摘要

近年来,旅游业在全球范围内迅速发展,尤其在中国的发展更为显著。来自不同国家的游客往往通过英语旅游语篇去了解目的地国的文化和传统,因而其也越来越受到关注。同时将系统功能语言学应用于研究的趋势也不断升温。国内外的学者都做出了相当的努力,尝试将系统系统功能语言学作为研究和分析语篇的理论依据,因为系统功能语言学研究的重点就在于如何用语言进行交流,而这也正是英语旅游语篇的目的。本文以系统功能语言学为理论框架,以英语景点简介和旅游广告这两大类旅游语篇作为语篇分析样本,运用定量的分析方法,对60则英语旅游语篇进行分析。分析涵盖过程类型,语气成分和主位成分。文章尤其着重对英语景点简介和旅游广告这两种旅游语篇进行对比分析,分别从三大元功能和语域等方面比较其异同之处,从而使读者对旅游语篇语体特点有更加透彻而实际的了解,不论对英语旅游语篇的阅读还是翻译实践都有着一定的指导作用。通过对样本的讨论和分析,可以发现:首先,利用系统功能语言学理论框架对两大类英语旅游语篇的对比分析是可行的;其次,这两大类在三大元功能和语域等方面存在着一些异同之处。此外,先前的学者多从跨文化和错误分析等角度对旅游语篇进行研究,功能语言学的分析将重点放在语篇上,这无疑扩大了科研园地。同时,把韩礼德的学说应用于旅游语篇这一特殊的语篇类型,在分析的具体王作中,进一步表现出它的有效性和可靠性。
