【摘要】：韩礼德认为语言具有三大元功能,分别为概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能。人际功能是指人们用语言与他人交往,建立、保持人际关系,同时用语言来表达自己的观点和看法。人际功能的研究是话语分析作为一个学科的重要研究课题之一。人际功能主要是通过语气系统和情态系统来体现的。本文以韩礼德的人际功能理论为理论框架,选取了十篇中美毕业典礼演讲辞建立的小型语料库,采用定性和定量相结合的方法进行对比研究。通过研究,作者发现中美演讲者在演讲中的人际意义实现中存在异同。在语气系统中,中美演讲者均大量使用陈述语气,中文语篇更多使用疑问、祈使语气；情态系统中,中美演讲者均大量使用低情态值词,且英文语篇多使用中情态值的情态词,中文语篇则多使用高情态值的情态词；人称系统中,英文语篇使用大量第一人称,而中文语篇中第一人称和第二人称频率都很高。作者将韩礼德的人际功能理论应用于实际的文本分析,不仅丰富了人际功能的研究并为分析演讲类语篇的人际功能提供了一个可操作的模式,有助于英语学习者更加深刻地理解语言的使用,提高语言运用意识。此外,本文针对中美炎两种文化下人际功能实现过程的差异进行研究,为文化多样性与差异性也提供了新的研究视角。
[Abstract]:Halliday believes that language has three metafunctions, namely conceptual function, interpersonal function and textual function. Interpersonal function refers to people communicate with others in language, establish and maintain interpersonal relationship, and express their views and opinions in language at the same time. The study of interpersonal function is one of the important research topics of discourse analysis as a subject. Interpersonal function is mainly reflected through mood system and modal system. Based on Halliday's theory of interpersonal function, this paper selects ten small corpus established by Chinese and American graduation speeches, and makes a comparative study by combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Through the study, the author finds that there are similarities and differences in the realization of interpersonal meaning between Chinese and American speakers. In mood system, Chinese and American speakers use declarative mood in large numbers, Chinese discourse uses more questions and imperative mood, in modal system, Chinese and American speakers use low modal value words, and English discourse mostly uses modal words with medium modal value, while Chinese discourse mostly uses modal words with high modal value. In person system, a large number of first person is used in English discourse, while the frequency of first person and second person in Chinese discourse is very high. The author applies Halliday's theory of interpersonal function to practical text analysis, which not only enriches the study of interpersonal function and provides an operable model for analyzing the interpersonal function of speech texts, which is helpful for English learners to understand the use of language more deeply and improve their awareness of language use. In addition, this paper studies the differences in the realization process of interpersonal function between China and the United States, which also provides a new research perspective for cultural diversity and differences.
