理工科毕业生英文求职信的二元体裁对比分析

A Dual-Genre Comparative Analysis of Covering Letters by Graduates of Science and Engineering

在分析求职信文本时,体裁分析理论和语域理论可以相互补充。中国理工科毕业生的求职信和美国大学毕业生的求职信在语步上拥有不同的体裁结构特征,而在特定的体裁结构内部,中美求职信的语场要素和表层语域特征也表现出差异。体裁和语域两个方面的差异反映出中国理工科毕业生书写求职信中的语用失误。

Genre analysis theory and register theory can be combined in studying covering letters.Covering letters by Chinese graduates of Science and Engineering majors and American graduates contain different generic moves.Within certain move units,letters by these two types of writers still vary in terms of registry field factors,as well as linguistic features.Pragmatic failures in writing covering letters are suggested accordingly with the results of the genre and register analysis.
