语篇功能在英语被动语态中的表现形式

The Expression of Discourse Function in English Passive Voice

以Halliday提出的三大纯理功能之一语篇功能理论为基础,从语篇层面上分析了被动语态的语篇功能。可以看出,被动语态在语篇功能层次含有六种表现形式与功能:突出主题形式和功能、引入主题形式和功能、转换主题形式和功能、凸显焦点形式和功能、对比焦点形式以及语篇衔接与连贯形式和功能。被动语态的这六种语篇形式与功能往往共同作用于语篇的结构与重组,使语篇称为一个结构上衔接、语义上连贯的有机整体。

The use of the passive voice is mainly in the syntax, but the function of the context proposed by Halliday can be expressed in six forms and functions： stressing and inducing of the theme, converting and displaying the theme ,comparing the points, and coherence of the context .These six functions of the passive are in the sentence structures and the restructures that make the whole construction s and meanings of the articles.
