语言学学术期刊论文摘要的意义生成——系统功能意义学语类分析

A Systemic Functional Semiotic Study of the Logogenesis of Journal Article Abstracts in Linguistics

具有概括论文和宣传论文的双重功能,在学界得到广泛的研究。这些研究多以提高摘要写作质量为目的,概括摘要的语篇结构、语言特征和跨语言、跨学科差异,对其语篇意义生成的动态研究尚不多见。本文以系统功能意义学理论为基础,通过对语言学论文摘要的语类分析,揭示论文摘要生成的意义潜势。研究表明,摘要语篇呈现宏观语类的趋势。研究摘要语篇意义的生成不仅有助于摘要语篇的写作,对于进一步明晰语类与语域的关系也有启示意义。

Journal article abstracts,which serve to summarize and promote journal articles,are of great interest in academic circles.Most of the existing studies of abstracts have as their purpose the promotion of abstract writing in terms of summarizing their discursive structure,linguistic patterns and differences across language and disciplines.To date,there has not been a logogenetic study of abstracts in detailed discourse analysis.Informed by systemic functional semiotic theory,this paper reveals the potential of the logogenetic approach through genre analysis of journal article abstracts in the field of linguistics.The article concludes that the majority of abstracts are instances of macro-genre and that the study of the logogenesis of abstracts promotes abstract writing and clarifies the relation between register and genre in the framework of systemic functional linguistics.
