英文旅游语篇对比研究 ——定量视角管窥

论文摘要

我国旅游景点的英文介绍(多数由国人撰写)质量参差不齐,无法充分服务于外国游客,已成为众所周知的问题。本文将以从英美两国的22篇同类语篇中分析得出的文体特征为参照标准,对比分析两组语篇(英美22篇为一组,中国22篇为另一组)在文体特征上的差异,进而找出我国英文景点介绍质量不佳的原因。本文以韩礼德的系统功能语法为理论基础,从定量的角度分析字系层、语法层和词汇层的相关项目,包括段句词长、及物性的过程、小句群、语气系统、主位结构、形容词、专有名词、数词等。从统计的结果中可以得到其潜在的突出特征,结合情景语境要素(语域的语场、语旨和语式)分析进而得到有动因的突出,即语篇的文体特征。研究的结果表明,中国人撰写的英文景点介绍和英美两国的同类语篇相比,在句词长度、及物性过程、形容词方面存在明显差距,在其他方面也有一定的差异。作者看来,上述结果可以对提高英文景点介绍的质量起到参考作用。
