中式螺旋式思维对英语作文篇章组织结构的影响

Effect of Chinese spiral thinking on the structure and organization of English writing

语言是思维的外壳,思维是语言的脊梁。中西思维方式的差异,即中式思维对英语写作的负迁移,是中国学生英语作文出现问题的重要原因之一。比较了中式螺旋式思维方式与西式直线式思维方式的特点并分析中式螺旋式思维对英文篇章结构的影响。在中式螺旋式思维影响之下,学生往往在开头段抓小放大,忽略了中心思想,中间段做不到纲举目张,条理清晰,而结尾段又往往哗众取宠。中式螺旋式思维对英文作文的开头、主体和结尾段的危害值得教师和学生的高度重视。
