Halliday与van Dijk语境模式对比研究

A Comparative Study on the Context Models in Halliday's SFL and van Dijk's Theory

以Halliday为代表的系统功能语言学与van Dijk的话语分析理论都非常重视语境的研究,语境是两个理论体系的重要组成部分。通过对比分析Halliday与van Dijk的语境理论模式,探讨了两者的相同点和不同点。作为话语分析的工具,系统功能语言学的语境模式持本体论的观点,更强调语言自身的系统性,认为语境只是语言系统内的一个组成部分;而van Dijk的语境理论非常重视语言与语境的认知属性,更强调语境与语言之间的相互规约性,尤其是认知心理对交际过程与结果的影响。

Both Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics(SFL) and van Dijk's theory place emphasis on context,an essential component of the two theories.In this paper,the context models in the two theories are compared and analyzed to reveal their similarities and differences.As a tool for discourse analysis,the SFL model favors ontology,attaches more importance to the systematicness of language itself and takes context as an important factor within the language system.On the other hand,van Dijk's context model highlights the cognitive attribute of language and context,particularly the effect of cognitive psychology on the communication process and outcome.
