摘要
本研究基于语料库研究方法,对中国英语学习者硕博学位论文和国际期刊论文中三大语法项的口语化倾向进行了对比研究。研究表明,与国际期刊相比,硕博论文均存在显著口语化倾向,博士论文口语化程度略高,但二者共性远大于差异性;在各语法项层面,硕博论文比国际期刊显著多用缩略形式和"get+Ved"被动语态,博士论文比国际期刊显著多用准情态动词;在具体语法次类,硕博论文均显著多用否定缩略形式、BE动词缩略形式和意愿/预测类准情态动词,博士论文比硕士论文显著多用义务/必然类准情态动词。本文还探讨了造成这些差异的可能原因,并对学习者学术论文写作提出了建议。
Utilizing the corpus-based quantitative method,the present study aims to present a contrastive study of grammatical colloquialisation between Chinese EFL learners' master,doctoral theses and international journal articles.The present study demonstrates that in comparison with their international counterparts,both master and doctoral theses displayed a very strong colloquialized tendency.Doctoral theses are more colloquialized.And the similarities between master and doctoral theses far outweighed their differences.Regarding three colloquilaized categories,both master and doctoral theses used significantly more contractions and 'get-Ved' passives than international journals;doctoral theses used significantly more quasi-modals than international journals;As regards the sub-categorial use of contractions,master theses and Ph D dissertations used significantly more contractions of negation and BE-verbs as well as quasi-modals of volition/prediction.Ph D dissertations used significantly more quasi-modals of obligation/necessity while master theses used significantly fewer of them.Such differences are discussed with reference to possible reasons and suggestions for English writing in China.
