学术语篇中显性客观投射语气隐喻的人际功能研究

Analysis of the Interpersonal Functions of Explicit Objective Projecting Mood Metaphors in Academic Discourse

显性客观投射语气隐喻在学术语篇中分布较为广泛,这与其人际功能密切相关.因此基于韩礼德的语气隐喻理论,通过对学术论文中语气隐喻的人际功能及其实现的交际目的分析,认为显性客观投射语气隐喻的投射成分具有模糊性和明示性的双重特征,分别能衍生出礼貌、协商策略及引导和显意策略,具有提高话语接受度、扩大命题性、提升观点认可度和凸显研究重要性的人际功能,能促进实现论文的交际目的,即增强说服力,达成学术认同.对语气隐喻的功能分析能够帮助外语学习者正确理解和恰当使用语气隐喻手段,以构建语篇中的人际意义.
