国外近十年言语行为研究现状分析(2004-2013)

An Analysis to the Current Studies Abroad on Speech Act in the Recent Decade(2004 to 2013)

言语行为是语用领域的重要研究课题,本文以SSCI期刊论文为主要语料,采用定量和定性分析相结合的方式,考察国外近10年来言语行为研究的现状。研究发现:第一,言语行为研究的数量呈现不断增长的趋势,但是高频言语行为研究论文的数量有所下降;第二,相关论文主要发表于语用学和语言科学类期刊,社会、文化和教育类期刊的论文数量也较为可观;第三,研究的主题多为语言理论反思和语言元素分析,社会和文化交际方面的研究趋势见长;第四,研究方法多为实证研究,以定量研究为主,定量和定性相结合的研究方式不多。文章认为,可从社会、文化、教育和测量四个方面展开言语行为的深入研究。本研究可为言语行为研究的转型与深化提供一些借鉴。
