【摘要】 间接回指(indirect anaphora),作为回指中的一种特殊形式已经越来越引起语言学家们的关注。它和直接回指不同,在间接回指中找不到一个与其直接形成共指的先行词(antecedent)。因此,在理解间接回指的过程中就需要读者去寻找间接回指词(indirectanaphor)与先行信息之间的联系。在此基础上,文章讲对间接回指的认知理论进行总结,并对理解间接回指的理解机制加以改进。即读者在阅读语篇时,会在头脑中不断形成一个完形认知框架,该框架由各种不同的小框架整合而成。在具体语境的影响下,先行词触发语(antecedent trigger)和间接回指词(indirect anaphor)之间会建立认知关联。应用这一理解机制,文章从《纽约时报》和《科学技术回顾》这两本杂志中选取了60篇科技文章进行了分析和研究。目的是为了找出间接回指的分布情况于科技英语语篇的特点是否有一定联系,在科技英语语篇中的间接回指有什么特点,以求进一步对间接回指对科技英语理解的影响做出推断。在进行了细致的整理和分析以后,文章总结出了间接回指分布与科技英语篇章的联系,并提炼出了科技英语篇章中的间接回指的一些特点。在以上分析和研究的基础上,文章发现虽然在科技英语篇章中,间接回指在数量上并不如直接回指那么多,但对于间接回指的理解却关系着整篇文章的理解。因此,文章对如何运用间接回指的这些特点及理解机制来阅读科技英语篇章给出了几点建议,力图帮助读者成功地理解科技英语篇章。更多还原

【Abstract】 Indirect anaphora (IA), as a special type of anaphora is gaining more and more attention. Compared with direct anaphora, indirect anaphora have no explicit antecedent co-referring to it, therefore it requires the readers to find out the relationship between the indirect anaphor and the prior information in a text. After discussing of the strengths and weakness of the theories, the author makes a conclusion of the theories about how to interpret indirect anaphora, and improves a mechanism to interpret the relationship of the antecedent triggers and the indirect anaphors. With the mechanism, indirect anaphora in 60 EST texts which are chosen from New York Times and Science and Technology Review is studied with the purpose to find out whether there is relationship between the distribution of IA and EST texts, to see what the characteristics of IA in EST texts are and to make a further inference of the effects of IA oh the EST understanding.After a meticulous comparison of the collected data, certain relationship between the distribution of the IA and the EST texts is found out and some characteristics of IA in EST texts are generated as well. Based on the findings of the previous cognitive studies and the analysis of the indirect anaphora in EST, the thesis finds out that indirect anaphora is a universal phenomenon although it is less than direct anaphora in number. It is crucial to the understanding of EST texts. So some suggestions are given to the understanding of EST texts in order to help readers to understand EST texts successfully.更多还原
