摘要
本研究采用系统功能语言学的主位结构理论和语料库研究方法,对比分析中国非英语专业博士生与本族语专家引言写作中主位选择的特征。研究表明,中国博士生和本族语专家使用主位的总体频率和方式存在明显异同。两者对各类主位比率的分配倾向趋于一致,但中国博士生过多使用语篇主位和人际主位。在主位实现形式方面,两者采用的语言策略均具有多样性和灵活性,但选择各类主位的功能各不相同:中国博士生过分依赖语篇主位而导致文章表述冗余繁琐,过于注重引证权威而隐藏自我立场,突显研究背景而弱化引言的主题重点;而本族语专家以引言的体裁特点及衔接的需要为基础,适时选择语篇主位,善于直接客观地表明作者态度,注重发挥标记性主位的衔接功能从而层层推进研究理据。
Based on the thematic structure theory in Systemic Functional Linguistics, this corpusbased research has made a comparative analysis of thematic choice in the introduction section written by Chinese non-English major doctoral students and native professional writers. Results show that similarities and differences exist between two groups in both the frequency and manner in the employment of themes. Both groups show consistence in the distribution of each type of theme but Chinese doctoral students use more textual and interpersonal themes. In terms of the realization of theme, they both adopt diverse language strategies flexibly. However, Chinese doctoral students deviate from native professionals in the function themes achieved through the employment of each type of theme. Chinese doctoral students are found to have over-reliance on textual themes, which causes redundant expressions. As for interpersonal themes, they are more likely to emphasize the authority of citation resulting in the weakening of writer stance. Moreover, their circumstantial elements in topical themes tend to highlight the background leaving its key points less emphasized. In contrast, native professionals use textual themes according to the genre of introduction in addition to the need for cohesion, and they are proficient in presenting author’s attitude objectively and directly by interpersonal themes. Marked themes are often chosen by them for its cohesive role in text promoting the advancement of the research.
