责任型情态在语篇中人际意义的分析

Interpersonal Analysis of Responsibility Modality in Discourse

文章从语法、词汇、语用等角度分析了高量值责任情态与低量值责任情态的人际意义。高量值责任情态语篇表现力强,效果醒目,具有说服召唤功能。而低量值责任型情态往往与身份、地位等权势因素有关,常把责任情态客观化或淡化或掩盖主体责任情态以满足发话人的面子需求。

From the perspectives of grammar, vocabulary, pragmaties, the paper analyses the interpersonal meaning of the high-value responsibility modality and the low-value responsibility modality. The study shows that the high-value responsibility modality has an absolute wording with remarkable effect and the function of ＂summoning＂ while the low-value responsibility modality has something to do with such factors as the identity and status and often objeetivises the modality or weakens the subject＇ s modality to satisfy the face needs of the speaker.
