元语用视角下的功能性言语探究

A Metapragmatic Perspective to Metadiscourse Studies

功能性言语是话语中不可分割的一部分，是由语篇中标识话语组织结构、作者对命题和读者的态度、标识作者与读者以及互文信息的再现等语言标记构成。这些标记被称之为功能性言语标记，是语言使用者不断做出语言选择、对自身言语行为的一种自反体现。具体分为三类：语篇功能性言语标记、人际功能性言语标记和互文功能性言语标记。从元语用的角度看，功能性言语标记是语言使用者有意识的策略选择，体现出较强的元语用意识。

Metadiscourse,composed of linguistic devices which are used to organize the text,indicates the writer's attitude towards the content and the readers,and shows the explicit presence of the writer,the reader,and others in the text.From metapragmatic point of view,this study holds that metadiscourse,as an integrated level of discourse,is a collective of reflexive linguistic expressions resulting from language users' conscious choice-making and their reflection on the use of language on the basis of discourse organization,writer-reader relationships,and intertextual relations for achieving the final communicative purposes.In accordance with the three aspects of reflection,we divide metadiscourse into three types,that is,metatext,interpersonal metadiscourse,and intertextual metadiscourse.An analysis of the use of metadiscourse markers in English and Chinese RAs is then conducted toshow how writers realize interaction and persuasive intentions by their reflection on discourse organization,writer-reader relationships,and intertextuality.
