上海地区不同版本高中英语教材中副词性关联词语的比较研究

The Comparative Study of Adverbial Conjunctions Used in Different Editions of English Textbooks in Shanghai

本文是关于上海地区高中英语教材中副词性关联词的研究。上海地区主要使用新世纪版和牛津版高中教材。对两个版本中高一年级（上）教材中副词性关联词语的应用的考察研究发现：新世纪版教材中，出现的副词性关联词种类多，涉及八大类中所有类，且数量多；牛津上海版副词性关联词种类较少且数量少。牛津上海版教材中没有涉及到解释、断言、推理类语义类别。两本教材在表时顺类中，表后时相承关系的副词性关联词“then”出现次数都较多；在表转折类中，表补充和对立关系的副词性关联词“however”出现次数都较多。两版教材中表示“平行＼递进”、“转折”关系的基础性副词性关联词的使用频率高。两版教材中都有表示时顺、转折、结果、加合、条件的语义类别，说明副词性关联词语在教材和篇章衔接方面起重要作用，因此，教师应重视这类词的教学。
