摘要
与主语不同,话题的特征之一在于它的语义范围可以延伸至一个小句之外。作为超小句概念,话题具有三个不同的层次:句话题、链话题和语篇话题,它们在语篇的动态建构中发挥不同的作用。根据话题能够管住一组句子的语义特性,通过对话题层次的区分以及它们在语篇建构过程中所起作用的分析,来考察语篇话题对语篇中句话题、链话题的宏观语义控制以及跨越小句界限发生的句话题推进,进而说明如何在写作中维持和加强语篇的连贯。
By comparison with subject,one of the features of topic is that its semantic range can be ex tended to more than two clauses.As a beyond-clause concept,topic itself can be divided into three levels： clause topic,chain topic and text topic.They play different roles in the dynamic process of text construction.Therefore,this thesis aims to analyze the three levels of topic and the different roles they played in the process of text construction,to demonstrate that with the application of the modes of clause topic progression and the text topic’s macro semantic control of clause topic and chain topic within the text,can maintain and strength en the coherence of text.
