英语语篇结构、声律特征与听力理解

English Discourse Structure,Prosodic Feature and Listening Comprehension

语篇结构是语篇的意义结构,是反映语篇主线的发展和联贯的主要方式。听力理解获得的信息不是所听材料的简单相加,而是整个语篇意义的概括。学生对口语语篇声律特征的敏感度和准确把握可以帮助学生把握语篇的宏观结构及重要信息。听力教学以语篇结构分析为突破口促进学生对听力材料的整体理解。帮助学生掌握相关声律特征知识可以完善学生的听力策略,提高学生宏观处理听力语篇信息的能力。

A discourse structure is its semantic structure reflecting its major development and cohesion manners. The information received through listening comprehension is not the simple plus of its listening materials but the summary of the meaning of the overall discourse, that is, the discourse structure. Students＇ sensitivity and exact grasp of the discourse＇s prosodic feature can help them catch the discourse ＇s macrostructure and important information. Therefore, in listening teaching, the analysis of discourses can not only promote students＇ general understanding of the listening materials but also help them grasp the relevant knowledge of prosodic features and perfect their listening strategy, thus improving their ability of handling the macro information of their listening discourses.
