中美大学生在写作中主位推进模式运用的差异

Different Patterns of Theme Progression in Compositions by Chinese and American College Students

主位推进模式是语篇内部衔接的主要表现形式之一。随着主述位的发展,句子的组织结构和逻辑联系也相应发生变化。中美大学生在写作中对主位推进模式的运用存在差异,中国大学生较多使用主位同一型模式,过多使用代词。因此,我们在教学中应适当增加述位同一模式的运用。

Thematic progression helps to bring cohesion to a text. With the development of the thematic structure in a text, the organization and logical connection between sentences will also have some change. The patterns of thematic progression are different in the compositions between the American and Chinese students. Chinese students tend to repeat identical themes and use too many pronouns in their writings, so in our teaching we may need to increase practices in the pattern of similar rhemes.
