日语学位论文中的句末认识情态使用特征研究——基于中日语料库对比视角

Study on the Use of Modality at the End of Sentences in Japanese Academic Dissertations-A Comparative Perspective Based on Chinese and Japanese Corpora

句末认识情态是表明作者的写作态度和观点的重要表达方式。该研究基于日语专业博士毕业生的博士论文和日本本族语者的博士论文,自建语料库,对比分析了中日博士学位论文中句末认识情态使用特征,发现:(1)中国日语学习者与日本本族语者相比,在“断定·推量”“或然性”“证据性”“知觉·思考动词等”4类句末认识情态的使用上均存在显著差异;(2)日语学习者与本族语者一样倾向于集中地使用思考动词和推量表达等少数几个句末表达;(3)日语学习者在博士论文撰写过程中存在句末情态多用、少用的问题。其中「であろう(大概)」的多用和「と考えられる(一般认为)」的少用现象最为显著。该研究结果对日语论文写作及其教学有指导意义。

The use of modality at the end of sentences is an important expression of the author's writing attitude and viewpoint.Based on doctoral dissertations written by Japanese native speakers and Chinese graduates majoring in Japanese,this study constructed a self-built corpus and conducted comparative analysis on the use of modality at the end of sentences in Chinese and Japanese doctoral dissertations.The study found that:(1)compared with Japanese native speakers,Chinese learners of Japanese showed significant differences in the use of modality expressions related to"certainty,conjecture,possibility,evidence,perception,and thought verbs";(2)both learners and native speakers tended to concentrate their use of modal expressions on a few verbs such as thought and conjecture;(3)learners tended to overuse or underuse modality at the end of sentences in their doctoral dissertations,with the overuse of"de arou"and the underuse of"to kangaerareru"being the most significant phenomena.The results of this study provide guidance for Japanese academic writing and its teaching.
