Abstract:

自建中美两语料库，通过对计算机专业领域的中国研究生与同专业领域的美国学者发表的学术论文摘要中模糊限制语的使用做对比研究，研究发现：总体而言，当前中国计算机专业领域的研究生在学术论文摘要中比同领域的美国学者使用更多的模糊限制语，二者之间具有统计学意义上的显著性差异。另外在模糊限制语的主类别的使用上，二者既有相似性也有差异性。最后文章对造成上述差异的可能原因进行了探讨。
In this paper, American scholars’ academic articles published in the international journals and abstracts of Chinese masters’ academic articles are collected for the contrastive study to compile two corpora: the Corpus of American Scholars of Computer Science (CASCS) and the Corpus of Chinese Masters of Computer Science (CCMCS). The results reveal that Chinese masters frequently employ more hedges than American scholars and there is a significant difference in the use of hedges in the abstract of the academic writing. Moreover, there are some similarities and differences in the use of hedges between both sides in the main categories of hedges. Finally, possible reasons for the differences above are explored and provided.
