摘要
以实证的方法从中美文化差异的角度探讨了中美大学生议论文写作中的"作者身份"影响。认为受个人主义文化的影响,美国大学生在英语议论文写作中频繁使用"我"以表明个人的立场和观点;而受传统集体主义文化的影响,中国大学生则频繁使用"我们",极少使用"我",给人以"集体化声音"的印象。
The writer identity in Chinese and American college students＇ English argumentation writings is explored from the perspective of cultural differences between Chinese and American. It is concluded that, influenced by American individualistic culture, American college students use I in their writings frequently in order to make clear their own point of view, however, influenced by Chinese collectivistic culture, Chinese students use we instead of I frequently in their English writings and therefore create a collectivized voice.
