专家作者与学术新手间的摘要修辞对比研究

A Contrastive study on Rhetoric of RA Abstracts by Academic Experts and Beginners

以60篇应用语言学学术论文摘要为语料,以Santos(1996)的五语步模型为分析框架,重点探讨了专家作者与学术新手在学术论文摘要修辞方面的异同。研究发现:(1)两类作者均视研究"内容""方法"与"发现"为常规语步,但在研究"背景"与"方法"语步使用频率上存在显著差异。(2)两类作者均偏好"背景-内容-方法-发现-结论"的语步构建模式,但专家与新手运用此模式的频率为3:1。(3)两类作者均倾向以"现在时态"呈现研究"背景""内容"与"结论",但其运用频率在研究"内容"语步差异显著。上述研究发现对应用语言学专业学术论文摘要写作研究与教学具有重要启示。
