摘要
名词化是学术英语的主要特征,同时也是学科知识构建的重要语言资源。文章基于系统功能语法隐喻理论,采用质性研究为主量化统计为辅的方法研究国际药学期刊科研论文中名词化现象。结果发现,药学科研论文中存在大量名词化;动作过程名词化的分布频率远高于其他名词化生成类型;大部分名词化属于学科专业术语;名词化通过组建"分类事物"和"活动序列"同时构建反映知识的"研究内容"语场和反映知识获取过程的"研究行为"语场。对名词化的多层次元功能分析有望帮助学习者更好地理解学科学术英语的生成机制,提高对语言的解码和编码能力。
Nominalization is the key resource in construing disciplinary academic registers. The present study analyzes nominalization in authentic pharmaceutical research articles based on studies about grammatical metaphor in Systemic Functional Linguistics （SFL）. The analysis shows that nominalization abounds in these texts with ＂Transference from process to thing＂ as the most productive mechanism for forming nominalization. In terms of discourse functions, nominalizations play an important role in creating technical terms for discipline. The tri-stratal in-depth examination of one sample text reveals how nominalizations construe Taxonomies and Activity Sequences for two distinct field types--＂ the field of research＂ and ＂the field of object of study＂ .These discourse findings have the potential of contextuMizing SFL-informed genre analysis in the language classroom.
