语类理论视角下ESP教材语类纲要式分析——以《药学英语》为例

Schematic structure of ESP textbooks based on genre theories —— a case study of pharmaceutical English

大学英语拓展课程发展迅速,ESP教材使用越来越广泛,但国内ESP教材分析研究相对滞后。为了说明语类纲要式结构分析对ESP教材使用的理论指导作用,采用ESP教材常见分类和语类逻辑语义关系作为分析框架,分析了一本典型的ESP教材——《药学英语》(上册)的语类特征。结果表明:分析ESP教材的语类结构和语言形式能揭示教材的人才培养目标和实现该目标的具体过程。目前,ESP教材的语类分析研究还处于起步阶段,值得继续关注和研究。

Rapid development of college English follow-up curriculum leads to growing demands for ESP （English for Specific Purposes） textbooks; however, researches on ESP textbooks in China relatively lags behind. In order to illustrate the theoretical significance of schematic structures of genres in ESP textbook exploitation, an analytic framework of common genres of textbooks and complex genre relations was adopted to investigate the genre features of ESP textbooks based on a case study of Pharmaceutical English （Vol.1）. Results show that the analysis of schematic structure and language forms helps reveal the purpose of talent-cultivation in ESP textbooks and the process of its realization. At present, the studies of ESP textbooks from the perspective of genre theories are still in the early stages and worth more attention and further exploration.
