英语篇章话题系统与表达

English Textual System of Topics and Text Writing

本文根据吴碧宇和王建国(2012)所构建的英语篇章话题系统指出,篇章表达大致可从两个方面做好规划。一是整体规划,即选定篇章话题。篇章话题的选取决定了篇章的主题思想、篇章构建的目的和功能,还决定了篇章构建的可能格局,如篇章话题如何延续,需要什么样的次话题、次次话题来支撑等。二是局部规划,即让文中的句子话题链和超句话题链符合英语的语言和文化规范。

This paper,based on the textual system of topics presented by Wu and Wang(2012),argues that English text writing should be devised globally and locally.Firstly,aglobal topic must be decided.The topic not only sets the textual theme,purpose and function,and also shapes how the topic is continued hierarchically.Secondly,sentential topic chains and super-sentential topic chains introduced by local topics must be linguistically and culturally appropriate.
