【摘要】：元话语(metadiscourse)指理解语言使用、表示作者或说话人引导受众理解语篇的一种手段。元话语资源不仅有助于作者连贯地组织文本,而且能够协助作者更有效地表达观点以及实现与读者互动的目的。现有关于元话语的研究主要存在以下不足:(1)对英语学习者(特别是中国英语学习者)元话语使用情况的研究相对不足;(2)对不同学历层次英语学习者元话语使用情况的研究相对不足;(3)对英语学习者撰写的学术语篇的关注相对不足。鉴于此,本研究以Hyland(2005)提出的元话语的人际意义模式为理论框架,采用自建语料库的方式,调查我国不同学历层次英语专业学生(学士、硕士、博士)在应用语言学学位论文中元话语的使用现状。研究发现:(1)硕士学位论文中元话语资源的使用频次显著低于学士学位论文和博士学位论文,然而学士和博士学位论文之间元话语的使用则不存在显著差异。就元话语使用类型而言,我国英语专业学生在学位论文中对引导式元话语的使用频次显著高于其对互动式元话语的使用;(2)不同学历层次学位论文中引导式元话语的使用频次差异显著,其中博士学位论文中引导式元话语的使用频次显著高于学士学位论文,而学士学位论文中引导式元话语的使用频次又显著高于硕士学位论文;(3)不同学历层次学位论文中互动式元话语的使用差异显著,其中硕士学位论文中互动式元话语的使用频次显著低于博士学位论文,但学士学位论文与其他两组之间互动式元话语的使用不存在显著差异。本研究不仅加深了我们对于学术语篇人际性的认识,而且对于学术论文写作以及教材编写也具有一定的参考价值。
[Abstract]:Meta-discourse is a means of understanding the use of language, which means that the author or speaker guides the audience to understand the text. Meta-discourse resources can not only help the author organize the text coherently, but also help the author express his views more effectively and achieve the purpose of interacting with the reader. The existing studies on meta discourse mainly include the following deficiencies: 1) the use of meta-discourse among English learners (especially Chinese EFL learners) is relatively inadequate. 2) the use of meta-discourse among English learners with different academic qualifications. There is a relative lack of attention to the academic discourse written by English learners. In view of this, this study takes the interpersonal meaning model of meta-discourse proposed by Hylandan 2005 as the theoretical framework, and adopts the method of self-built corpus to investigate the English majors (Bachelor's, Master's degree) with different degrees of education in China. Ph. D.) the use of meta discourse in a degree thesis in Applied Linguistics. It is found that the frequency of use of meta-discourse resources in master thesis is significantly lower than that in bachelor's thesis and doctoral thesis, but there is no significant difference between the use of meta-discourse between bachelor's thesis and doctoral thesis. As far as the types of meta discourse use are concerned, The frequency of guiding meta discourse used by Chinese English majors is significantly higher than that of interactive meta discourse. The frequency of guiding meta discourse in doctoral thesis is significantly higher than that in bachelor's thesis. However, the frequency of using guiding meta discourse in bachelor's degree thesis is significantly higher than that in master's degree thesis (3) there are significant differences in the use of interactive meta utterance among different academic levels. The frequency of use of interactive meta-discourse in master thesis is significantly lower than that in doctoral thesis, but there is no significant difference between the two groups in the use of interactive meta-discourse. This study not only deepens our understanding of the interpersonal nature of academic discourse, but also has some reference value for the writing of academic papers and the compilation of textbooks.
