基于中国学生口笔语语料库研究话语联系语的使用情况

An Application of Discourse Connectives Based on Spoken and Written English Corpus of Chinese Learners

话语联系语是指在话语中能够标示句际或语段间逻辑语义关系的词、短语或句子，它在言语交际中发挥着重要作用。以关联理论为基础，对话语联系语的意义和功能进行阐述和归类，并基于SECCL与WECCL两个子语料库定量对比分析中国学习者在口语和笔语中话语联系语的使用特征。这些话语联系语在总体数量分布上大致相同，但类型选择上稍有不同；某些联系语有过多或过少使用现象。

Discourse connectives refer to those words, phrases or sentences which can explicitly signal the semantic relations between sentences or utterances and play an important role in the language communication. Based on relevance theory, the meaning and function of discourse connectives are illustrated and classified and their features are carefully analyzed through the quantity comparison between the eorpuses of SECCL and WECCL. The results reveal that the overall quantity distribution is approximately the same while differences lie in the choice of connectives and that certain connectives are seldom used or overused.
