摘要
科普文本一般包括科学知识和背景知识两个主要内容,其中普及科学知识是科普文本的主要目的。本研究以《素数之恋:黎曼和数学中最大的未解之谜》为研究素材,在语料库分析的基础上,检索、统计并分析介入标记语在该书奇偶章节中的分布情况、语用功能和使用特征。研究发现:该书中使用频率最高的介入标记语为读者人称,说明科普文本较多使用显性的读者介入策略。奇数章节比偶数章节显著多用介入标记语,尤其是读者人称和提问这两种类型,说明与背景知识相比,科普文本的科学知识更期待读者的介入、参与和理解。本研究还发现不同介入标记语的共现可提高介入力度。
Popular science texts include two types of information,namely:scientific knowledge and relevant background information,with the exposition of scientific knowledge as the primary writing purpose.Based on corpus analysis,this study investigated the frequency,pragmatic functions,and use characteristics of engagement markers in the odd(scientific knowledge)and even chapters(background information)of a popular science book,Prime Obsession:Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics.The engagement marker most frequently used in this book is direct reader reference,indicating that explicitness is preferred in popular science discourse.The odd chapters use significantly more engagement markers(particularly direct reader reference and questions),indicating that compared with background information,scientific knowledge expositions in popular science texts expect the reader’s greater engagement,participation,and comprehension.We also found that the co-text of several engagement markers can enhance their strength.
