【摘要】 自话语标记语研究在国内起步以来,关于话语标记语的理论研究有了很大进展,但是对其中推论性标记语的研究尤其是实证研究尚属起步阶段。对于中国英语学习者在学术写作中使用推论性标记语的研究更是亟待补充。本文研究中国高水平英语学习者在他们的硕士论文中结语部分使用推论性标记语的情况。具体研究问题如下:(1)语言学硕士论文的结论中使用了哪些推论性标记语?(2)这些推论性标记语的频率分布和句法分布是怎样的?(3)这些论文的作者在使用推论性标记语时存在哪些问题?数据来源为中国知网(CNKI)中近五年的英语语言学学位论文共53篇的结语部分,字数共计63144字,分析的理论框架为Fraser的推论性标记语定义和分类。所获得的结论如下:(1)在数据中有7个推论性标记语出现,分别是“so”,“then”,“therefore”,“thus”,“as a result”,“hence”和“consequently”。(2)在这7个推论性标记语中,使用频次较高的是“so”和“therefore”,分别占总体标记语的37.4%和23.2%;较少用的标记语为“then”和“thus”,出现频率分别为17.9%和13.5%;更为少用的标记语是“as a result”,“hence”,“consequently”,出现频率仅分别为4.4%,2%和1.6%。从句法分布看,“so”,“hence”,“consequently”仅出现在句首;“then”,“therefore”,“thus”,“as a result”既出现在句首也出现在句中,但是出现在句首的概率远远大于在句中使用的概率;没有任何标记语均出现在句尾。(3)这些论文的作者在结语部分对推论标记语的使用存在三方面的问题,主要体现在句首、句中和句尾。其中“so”,“consequently”和“hence”存在句首误用的问题。“Therefore”和“as a result”出现了句中误用的问题。而标记语“thus”和“then”同时出现了在句首和句中的误用情况。希望通过本文对学位论文中推论性标记语的研究,不仅可以丰富话语标记语的研究视野,也可以为外语环境下学术英语写作的教学提供一定的参考。更多还原

【Abstract】 Since the study of discourse markers started in China,the theoretical research on discourse markers has made great progress,but the research on inferential discourse markers,especially empirical research,is still in its infancy.The research on the use of inferential markers by Chinese English learners in academic writing needs to be supplemented.This paper studies how Chinese postgraduates of English(MA degree)use IDMs in the conclusion of their MA thesis.The following three questions are specifically studied:(1)What IDMs are used in the conclusion in the linguistic MA theses?(2)What is the frequency of these IDMs? What is their syntactic distribution?(3)What problems remain in these authors’ use of the IDMs? The data source is the conclusion of 53 theses majoring in English Linguistics in recent six years,with a total of 63144 words.The theoretical framework of the analysis is the definition and classification of IDMs given by Fraser.The conclusions are as follows:(1)There are 7 IDMs used in the data,“so”,“then”,“therefore”,“thus”,“as a result”,“hence”,“consequently”.2)Among the 7 IDMs,the more frequently used ones are “so” and “therefore”,respectively accounting for 37.4% and 23.2%.Those less often used are “then” and“thus”,making up 17.9% and 13.5% respectively.“As a result”,“hence”,“consequently” are rarely used,accounting for 4.4%,2%,1.6% respectively.As for their syntactic distribution,the markers “so”,“hence”,“consequently”only appear at the beginning of the sentence.“then”,“therefore”,“thus”,“as a result”appear both at the beginning and in the middle of a sentence,but they are used far more frequently at the beginning of a sentence than they are used in the middle of a sentence.None of these 7 IDMs are used at the end of a sentence.(3)The authors of these papers have three problems in the use of inferential discourse markers in the conclusion,which are mainly reflected at the beginning of sentences,in the medium of sentences and at the end of the sentence.Among them,“so”,“consequently” and “hence” have the problem of misuse at the beginning of sentence.“Therefore” and “as a result” are misused in the middle of sentences.The inferential discourse markers “thus” and “then” are misused at the beginning and in the medium of sentences at the same time.It is hoped that the study of IDMs in the conclusion of MA thesis in this study can not only broaden the research horizon of IDMs,but also provide some reference for the foreign language teaching of academic English writing.更多还原
