环境语篇中导论和结论的及物性

论文摘要

韩礼德的系统功能语法已被广泛应用在文学语篇及大众语篇的语篇分析中。本文以系统功能语法中概念功能的及物性系统为理论框架,采用对比的手法,探讨环境语篇中引论和结论的不同。文章从分析环境语篇中的及物性着手,着重分析引论和结论在及物性方面的不同及隐含的影响到语篇中及物性过程分布的因素。该文的新颖之处在于,一方面,尝试着将系统功能语法运用到对学术语篇的分析中去;另一方面,尝试着对同一语篇的引论和结论进行功能对比,虽然这一对比只集中在及物性方面,但希望能达到抛砖引玉之效果。文章试图回答如下问题:环境语篇的引论和结论中存在哪些及物性过程?比例多少?引论和结论在及物性方面有什么相同点和不同点?通过及物性作者如何实现了其写作意图?隐含的影响及物性过程分布的因素有哪些?通过对比,我们可以得出什么结论?这些结论对于写作和教学有什么指导意义?通过对所选中环境语篇中导论和结论的及物性分析及数据统计,本文得出以下结论:环境语篇中引论和结论在及物性方面存在很多不同;在引论和结论中主要出现了关系过程、物质过程,其中物质过程所占的比例最高;至于参与者和环境因素,其中动作者、目标、内容和角度的比率最高;及物性过程的分布受到语篇类型和语篇主旨,即作者写作目的的影响。
