“本文+动作动词”汉英对比研究
发布时间：2022-07-07 13:31
在学术论文写作中,有一种现象非常值得关注。为了使表达更显客观,很多的作者竭力避免使用第一人称作为主语。使用文章本身作为主语是所有策略中比较普遍地一种。比如：“本文提出”、“本文探讨了”以及“本文认为”等都属于这种表达。在这种表达方式中,“本文”被用作句子的主语,谓语动词是动作性动词。一般来说,这些动作性动词往往只用于描述人类的动作过程。可是,在以文章做主语的表达方式中,非生命主体似乎成为了动作的发出者。G. Low（1999）探讨了这一问题。他发现,在他指导的留学生中,有些人总习惯在论文的介绍部分使用this paper thinks这种表达。他本人对这种表达并不认同。他认为,文章作为一种非生命主体不具备思考能力,所以使用“认为”这样的词很不恰当。于是,他摘取学生论文中以this paper+动作性动词的表达作为语料进行调查,检测这些表达在以英语为母语的人群中的可接受程度。结果证明,以文章作为主语时,对动作性谓语动词的选择并非毫无限制。This paper argues/takes the view等均为可接受的表达方式。但是This paper thinks/believes/is ...
