衔接与连贯(英文)

Cohesion and Coherence

衔接与连贯是语篇研究中的两个重要概念。从1976年Halliday和Hasan发表一书CohesioninEnglish以来,衔接与连贯成为语篇研究中的一个热点,对此语言学家各持己见。文章指出衔接是作者留给读者的体现在文章中的阅读线索,文章是否连贯不在于文章中连接链出现的多少,关键在于读者本身。因此在写作中,使用多少衔接链要根据读者而定。

Cohesion and coherence are two important term s in the study of text linguistics.As generally accepted,M.A.K.Halliday and R.Hasan first made cohesion a linguistic term.It is Widdowson(1973)who made cohesion and coherence become popular as a pair.There are also various po ints of view about the relation between cohesion and coherence.In writing proc ess,how many cohesive devices should be used is decided by the reader-based pu rpose.
