【摘要】 基于卢卡斯使用经典传播模式要素对演讲传播过程的讨论,本文分析了2010年和2011年"外研社杯"英语演讲大赛中共34位获奖选手的即兴演讲,详细探讨了其语言和非语言使用,及举例中的话题选择技巧。分析结果表明,成功的演讲者表现出清晰、明确的听众导向。他们使用更多的第一人称代词和明显的话语标记语,但有效控制抽象词汇、从句和修辞手法的使用。副语言中填充语和口误均较少,语速及语调能合理变化;身势语中手势控制恰当,眼神交流及面部表情友好自然。演讲者倾向使用能与听众产生经验共鸣的话题进行举例。研究结果可为中国英语学习者公共演讲课程教学提供借鉴。更多还原

【Abstract】 The current study applied classic communication models to investigating 34 laureate impromptu speeches at the 2010 and 2011"FLTRP(Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press)Cup"English Speaking Contest,one of the most influential of its kind in China,to identify the features of public speaking skills of Advanced Chinese EFL learners.The speech scripts and video excerpts from the subsequent manuscript collection with the CD-Rom published by FLTRP were studied.Lucas’framework of speech communication process was borrowed to bridge elements of the communication models and speech delivery process.Three key aspects of the speakers’encoding endeavors were under close examination:the verbal preferences,the non-verbal preferences,and the topic selection for exemplification.It was found that successful speakers demonstrated a clear and strong audience orientation.They chose more first person pronouns,fewer abstract words,a controlled number of dependent clauses,clear transition words,and limited figures of speech.They used very few verbal fillers,slips of tongue,a moderate speech rate and varied tone inflections.The speakers also showed distinctive features in gestures,eye contact and facial expressions.They employed anecdotes which shared a common field of experience.Pedagogical implications on the teaching of public speaking were discussed.更多还原
