学术语篇中高频情态动词的人际意义研究——以2018年ESP期刊为例
|
Abstract:
情态是说话者对话语叙述的情况所持的判断，是人际功能的重要组成部分，表示语言使用者对事物认识的估量。本文从人际意义角度出发，以2018年发表在English for Specific Purposes (以下简称ESP)上的25篇学术论文为语料，统计分析情态动词在学术语篇中的使用情况。研究发现，学术语篇中低值情态动词的使用频率较高，高值情态动词的使用频率较低，而中值情态动词的使用频率较为适中。
Modality is the judgment held by the speakers in the narrative of the situation. It is an important part of interpersonal function and represents the language users’ assessment of things. From the perspective of interpersonal meaning, this paper uses 25 academic papers published in the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in 2018 as a corpus to statistically analyze the use of modal verbs in academic discourse. The findings show that low value modal verbs are used more frequently, high value modal verbs are used less frequently, and medium value modal verbs are used moderately.
