短语式连接成分的篇章结构分析

A Structural Analysis of Phrasal Discourse Markers

短语式篇章连接成分,如"一般来说/一般说来",其篇章功能的体现方式是其"篇章分布",表现为"篇章位置"和"篇章关系"。对其作篇章结构分析,应围绕这两点展开。描写和解释的具体项目如下:该成分的语义、结构、性质、历时发展过程及同类结构的普遍特点,该成分在句中和篇章中的出现位置及隐现情况,所标记和所引导的语篇单位的句法性质和语义特点,该成分与其篇章直接成分之间的结构关系、语义关系和篇章关系,所构成的"篇章言语块"的整体特点、该"言语块"与上下文的关系,篇章中与该成分共现的词语。这样的篇章结构分析框架,可有效阐述短语式篇章连接成分的特点。

The discourse functions of phrasal discourse markers, such as ＂yibanlaishuo/yibanshuolai＂, are often reflected in their ＂discourse distribution＂, i. e. ＂discourse location＂ and ＂discourse connection＂, upon which this structural analysis is based. The study explores the following aspects of those expressions： first, their semantic meaning, structure, property, diachronic development as well as shared characteristics;second, their location and occurrence in a sentence or discourse ; third, the syntactic and semantic characteristics of the discourse led by those markers; fourth, the structural, semantic and discourse relationship between those markers and the discourse immediately following them ; fifth, the characteristics of the ＂lexical chunks＂ formed by those expressions and the re- lationship between those ＂chunks＂ and their textual context;and sixth, words and expressions that cooeeur with those markers. A structural analysis like this can fully reveal the discourse functions and the properties of the phras- al discourse markers.
