《英语文体学》总结

第一章文体学相关研究内容
文体学分为普通文体学和文学文体学,二者有重叠部分,但在此我们所研究的是普通文体学,文体学研究的是语言风格,对语言,人们的理解有很多种,但不管哪种说法,无可否认,语言都是人类表达思想、互相交流的手段,并且有很多具不同意旨的言语事件;风格是与说话人的语言习惯、时代背景相关的,是人门特有的表达方式,因人而异,对语言起到一定修饰作用并且关系到语言表达的有效性。

因此,文体学研究会涉及各种语言变体及相关特征、功用。

文体学对提高理解力和鉴赏水平有很大帮助。

此外,文体学还与语言学、修辞学及文学评论等相关联。

接下来的章节中将具体阐述相关内容。

第二章文体学研究的必要性
学习文体学可以提高我们语言使用的精确性,犹如不能在婚礼上穿牛仔装一样,语言使用要合乎当时、当地的具体环境,这就涉及文体学中的言语事件;学习文体学有利于提高我们对文学作品的理解与鉴赏水平,因为文学创作中,作者不可避免会对作品的语言、风格做选择,在文学评论三部曲(描述、解读、评估)中会涉及相关内容;文体学对满足翻译适应性有很大帮助,翻译很难做到完全对应,但基本原则一致是必须的,如作品基调、作品体裁等一致。

以上文体学内容中都有涉及。

第三章语言变体
在不同的社交场合,有不同的约定俗成的语体。

根据特定场合的语言习惯及其中特定说话人的语言使用,语言变体可以分为两种:方言变体和语域变体。

方言变体与不同的语言使用者相关,分为个人方言、时间方言、
地域方言、社会方言和标准方言;语域变体与不同社交场合相关,其构成要素是语场、语式和语旨。

两种变体并非独立存在而是有一定的相关性,比如,在同一种族、同一领域或同一社会地位,为了增进了解,说话人可能会选择这一具某种共同特征人群的行内语言。

此外,从语言变体中,我们还可以获知说话人的某些相关信息,如职业、国家和说话意旨等。

第四章语言描述
了解了语言变体,本章节探讨各种语言变体的具体表述问题,即具体语言表述。

在这个层面上,文体学提供了一种系统的分析方法,使我们对付各种文章轻而易举。

文体学上对语言描述的研究分别从语言层次上着手,即从音系、语相上,词汇语法上和语义上着手。

各个层次上的具体特征表现共同或分别作用于文章整体,以达到某种表达效果。

因此,在对语言描述进行具体分析时,就要着眼于这几个层次上的文体特征,具体步骤:系统浏览文章并记录具有已述特征的语言点;量化语言特征的使用频率;评估文体特征在文中的重要意义;对文章总体进行综合评述,尤其是对逻辑关系和整体思路。

另外,我们可以将这种方法应用到对变体种类和语场的分析中。

第五章正式语和非正式语
语言所承载的基本功能是人际交流功能,根据参与者和具体语言环境,语言有正式和非正式的差别。

说话人社会地位愈高、具体场合愈正式,语言使用就越严谨、越正式;在日常对话或与关系愈亲密的人对话时,语言使用就越生活化、越轻松。

语言使用的正式程度与话语意旨密切相关,由此产生日常习语、法律术语、政治术语等等专门语言,Martin Joos将
正式程度变化划分五级:僵化、正式、咨询、随便、亲密。

不同语言环境下,语言正式度会不同,说话人会随外部语言环境自行调节。

正式用语与非正式用语在词汇、音调、语义上都有所不同,前者用词多是正式书面化,吐词清晰、完整,逻辑性强;后者则相反。

根据同现限制原则,我们可以分辨语言使用的正式程度高低。

第六章口语和书面语
根据语言传播媒介,语言分为口语和书面语,二者在很多方面均有不同。

与书面语相比,口语一般是说话人与听话人面对面交流,说话人需要听话人关注,并及时得到反馈,所以多会用到富有感情的提示性交流语,也可有肢体语言、面部表达等。

在准备状态上,书面语一般主题明确,结构紧密;而口语表达各方面都比较随意,并未进行过多准备工作。

文体区别上,口语语法结构简单,句子短小,用词简单、随意,还较多涉及音系学特征;书面语则语法结构较复杂,句子长,用词精确(经作者仔细斟酌),涉及较多的是语相学特征。

此外,口语表达分自发性和非自发性,有需要提前准备的口语表达,如布道、演说等;书面语中也会有口语表达,如小说中的人物对话等。

书面语经常会出现在正式文体中,口语则较多出现在生活会话中;书面语承载较多的是描述功能,口语承载较多的是寒暄功能。

第七章会话英语
言语是人们首要的交流方式,会话是最基本的言语变体。

以日常生活中人们使用频率最高的生活会话为研究对象,我们会发现日常会话的基本特征:语言不明确,主题随意性强,思考时的语言不流畅现象。

具体说来,日常会话句法简单,口语表达较多,属于非正式文体。

日常会话一般发生
在生活背景相似的人群中或即使发生,其鲜明特征包括:语音同化、省音表达多,词汇简单、生活化,松散句、省略句较多。

此外,讨论性会话和电话会话也很常见,讨论其往往围绕一个中心展开,或正式或非正式,据具体环境而定;电话会话一般语言较明确,应避免长篇大论,问候语之后再继续到某一主题或一系列主题下的会话。

英语阅读文体知识点总结

英语阅读文体知识点总结IntroductionReading is an essential skill in acquiring knowledge, expanding vocabulary, and understanding different cultures. It is also a gateway to the world, providing access to a wide range of information and ideas. In this summary, we will explore various knowledge points related to reading in the English language, including reading strategies, types of texts, and how to improve reading comprehension.I. Types of Texts1. FictionFictional texts are stories that are created from the author's imagination. They can be further divided into subgenres such as fantasy, science fiction, romance, historical fiction, and mystery. Fictional texts often aim to entertain, evoke emotions, and convey universal truths about human nature.2. Non-fictionNon-fictional texts are based on real events, experiences, or research. They include genres such as biographies, autobiographies, essays, articles, and reports. Non-fictional texts aim to inform, persuade, or educate the reader about a specific topic.3. PoetryPoetry is a form of literary art that uses language to evoke emotional responses through rhythm, sound, and imagery. Poems can be written in various forms such as sonnets, haikus, ballads, and free verse. Poetry often explores themes of love, nature, and the human experience.4. DramaDrama is a literary form that is written to be performed by actors on stage. It includes genres such as tragedy, comedy, farce, and historical plays.

英语文体学第2章语音与文体


Another example: Do it now .
If “do” is stressed, it means: Don’ just talk, you should do something. If “it” is stressed, it means: Don’t do anything else, you should do this thing now. If “now” is stressed, it means: No loitering/ till later time.
According to the formation of intonation, it can be further divided into falling tone, rising tone and falling – rising tone. Falling tone can be divided into low fall and high fall, and rising tone can be divided into low rise and high rise. Generally speaking, falling tone denotes definiteness, certainty and completeness. Rising tone denotes lack of definiteness, certainty, subordination and incompleteness; falling-rising tone denotes contrast, reservation, concession, tentativeness, hesitation, warning and contradiction.

英语文体学分析_用英语文体学理论促进大学英语教学论文

英语文体学分析_用英语文体学理论促进大学英语教学论文【摘要】英语文体学原理对改进大学英语教学起到很大的作用,它能帮助学生提高阅读欣赏能力,在交际中更准确地理解对方所表达内容的实质,并恰当地选择能表达自己意图的语言手段。

文章在语音、词汇、句法、语篇、语言风格、翻译等几个方面较详细地阐述了英语文体学原理与大学英语教学的结合。

【关键词】英语文体学原理;作用;结合一、认识英语文体学及其对大学教学的作用英语文体学是用现代语言学的原则和分析方法,研究英语各种文体的一门学科。

它主要任务在于观察和描述英语若干种主要文体的语言特点。

在语言的运用方面,英语文体学强调语言环境的重要性,即语言要得体于它的环境。

这种环境主要有两类:一类是语言本身的环境,如词与词之间的通常搭配关系,即一句话的上下文所构成的意义范围;另一类是社会生活的环境,它在语言中无所不在,它对语音、词汇、语法,乃至文体的各个方面都有极深的影响。

同样一个意思,在不同的场合,其表达方式就在语音、词汇、句子结构等方面出现不同。

中国学生学习和使用英语的困难之一,就在于不会判断场合,不知如何在不同的场合使用恰当的语言。

而如果他们能对一种语言的各类文体进行研究分析,就会容易地、较深地了解语言的各种功能,在阅读英文作品中就会有更高的欣赏能力,在交际中就会更准确地理解对方所表达的内容的实质,并恰当地选择能表达自己意图的语言手段。

因此学习英语的中国学生需要英语文体学方面的基本知识,教师有责任把这种基本知识提供给他们。

教师在讲解课文、批改作文时,总要涉及文体问题,教师如能及时系统地把英语文体学的知识,传授给学生,他们就能在学习中把眼光不仅放在单句上,也注重整篇文章的理解,注重语音、语法、文体的全面分析。

目前,大学英语课的教学方法主要有句法分析法和篇章分析法。

句法分析法是以句子结构分析和语义辨认为主要内容的教学方法,这种方法有助于学生理解句子内部结构和语句含义,但忽视对语句、段落之间联系以及篇章结构的理解。
