2012 Chapter 7 Discourse Analysis 语篇分析

2 Information Structure
❖How do language users arrange information within discourse?
❖2.1 Given and new information ❖Alice: Who ate the bread? ❖Tom : Mary ate the bread.
given/ comment
2.2 Topic and comment
❖Topics are not so important to the grammar of English.
❖There is only one grammatical structure which marks topics in English. ▪ As for me, I’m gonna go to bed.
❖Mark the topic ▪ Place topic in the initial position in English. ▪ A beautiful dress she did make.
2.2 Topic and comment
❖Topic is not necessarily a property of the sentence; it may be a property of the discourse context: ▪ Oh, look! ▪ (an unexpressed topic “the setting sun” or “the sky”)
❖Given information can be something closely related to the mentioned information (e.g. meronymy) ▪ Kent returned my car last night after borrowing it for the day. One of the wheels was about to fall off and the dashboard was missing.

2.3 Discourse Pattern
2.3.3 The hypothetical-real pattern or the claimcounterclaim pattern [2.10] Every other critic has said that On Food and Cooking is brilliant, a revelation, and a unique combination of scientific insight and literacy which sweeps aside all myth and jargon as none have done before. Mcgee‘s book is indeed well written, is full of good things and is good to have on the shelves as a continuing source of reference and quotes . But it also has its fair share of mistakes, omissions and misalignments of emphasis.

Critical Discourse Analysis 批评性语篇分析PPT

2.2.1 The aims of CDA
The purpose of critical discourse analysis is to focus on social and political problems, mainly those involving inequality and power dominance . The reactions of people of different sexual orientations, classes, age groups, locations and other groups all vary according to their own ideologies . Those who practice critical discourse analysis accept certain facts on the social and political issues. The end goal is to change or stop the social or political problem of inequality.
2.2.3The Priniciples of CDA
Critical research on discourse needs to satisfy a number of requirements in order to effectively realize its aims.Fairclough and Wodak summarize the main tenets of CDA:
CL很大程度上是对长期处亍主导地位癿结构 主义语言学癿反叛和补充。以Saussure, Bloomfield and Chomsky 为代表癿语言学将语言 规为一个自给自足和自我调节癿抽象系统,美国 结构主义语言学也试图以当时癿自然科学为蓝本 将自己建成一门经验科学,主张语言只能以其自 身癿条件孤立地加以描写。CL把语言形式在交际 语境中癿功能作为自己癿核心课题,认为语言运 用充满了价值观,我们理应实践一种旨在理解这 种价值观癿语言学。
语篇分析与话语分析(讲稿)

语篇分析与话语分析从文献上看,学者们对text,discourse和discourse analysis或对“语篇分析”和“话语分析”的使用没有一致的看法,这是因为大家对这些术语的内涵和外延没有一致的或比较一致的观点。
因此,有些学者在使用这些术语时做了界定,有些则不做区分、互换使用。
在中国的英语界,语篇分析和话语分析这两个术语都是译自discourse analysis。
通过查阅相关资料,下面简单区分三种不同的discourse analysis。
1.三种discourse analysis根据Guy Cook的观点,可以根据不同的目标、研究方法、理论来源、研究重点等把discourse analysis分为三种:英美学派(the British-American school), 以法国哲学家福柯(Michel Foucault)的理论为基础的学派,批评话语学派(critical discourse analysis)。
⑴英美学派①研究重点:语言和语言的使用,从历史发展的角度看,研究重点从语言结构的使用(如上下文语境和情景语境)逐渐向图式、体裁(如文化语境)转移,但语言使用始终是研究的重点。
②所做的discourse analysis: 从功能语言学(如Halliday,1994)角度看,英美学派所做的discourse analysis不是一种“说明性活动”(interpretive activity),而是一种“解释性活动”(explanatory activity)。
⑵福柯学派①研究重点:话语秩序(order of discourse)、意识形态(ideology)、社会关系(social relationships)、社会联盟(social practices)等有关社会实践和社会变革问题。
②所做的discourse analysis: 相对于英美学派所做的discourse analysis,在我国,属于福柯学派的研究比较少,尤其在语言学、应用语言学和外语教学界。

Concluding remarks: When we have examined these levels and the way they interact, we will have acquired the necessary tools to study language in general (linguistics), the variety in language and the uses to which people put languages (sociolinguistics), the ways in which people teach and learn languages (applied linguistics) and the value of the study of language in understanding the human mind (psycholinguistics).

Course Orientation:
Aims:
This course provides a general introduction of ‘discourse, text, text organization, conversational analysis, among others’, which will help students to have a good command of the means with which to look into the use of language.

The assessment & evaluation of the course will be based on a) Class attendance and class

Differences between speech & writing

Conclusion: Humans have learnt to make infinite use of finite means. Language & medium A language is an abstraction based on the linguistic behavior of its users. “Speech is primary” and this statement is true in many ways:
