语境配置与语篇体裁之间的关系——从功能语法谈英语新闻标题语的语言表达特点

Contextual Configuration and Genre --A Functional Approach to English News Headlinese

在语篇分析的研究中 ,系统功能语言学者提出的语境配置和语篇体裁结构潜势的观点将语言所表达的功能与词汇语法表现形式结合起来 ,充分体现了“形式是意义的体现”这一系统功能语言观。选择新闻标题语作为研究的对象 ,考察、对比和分析语境配置变量的改变对语篇体裁结构潜势和具体词汇语法表达形式的影响 ,可以为语言形式如何体现意义潜势的理论提供较具说服力的具体语言实例。

In its approach to discourse analysis, the Systemic Functional Grammar linguists proposed the concepts of Contextual Configuration and Generic Structural Potential which illustrate the functionalist view on language, that is, language form is the realization of meaning potential. This paper follows this theoretical assumption. By analyzing a corpus of news headlines, the paper aims to compare and indicate the impact of variables of context on both generic structural potential and specific language expression forms.
