英語文體學教程

前言

　　在中國外語教學中，從初中到高中到大學，由于缺乏自然語境，沒有評判所用語言是否可行的標準，各種各樣的規(guī)則就成為評價的標準，如語法規(guī)則、發(fā)音規(guī)則、組詞規(guī)則。這些規(guī)則只是表現(xiàn)了語言運用的一般規(guī)律，但沒有把語境和交際目的等考慮在內(nèi)，由此就出現(xiàn)了把各種規(guī)則泛化的現(xiàn)象：在任何語境中，只要所用的語言違反了語法規(guī)則，就被視為錯誤。這樣，語法規(guī)則、發(fā)音規(guī)則、組詞規(guī)則等就慢慢成為規(guī)定性的了。雖然在最近的20多年中，隨著情景教學法、交際教學法等的發(fā)展，以語法規(guī)則為標準的外語教學法受到了挑戰(zhàn)，但以語法規(guī)則、發(fā)音規(guī)則、組詞規(guī)則等為標準的外語教學仍然占主流地位。　　雖然現(xiàn)在我國外語學習的條件發(fā)生了很大的變化，但沒有外語學習的環(huán)境的現(xiàn)象難以得到真正改變。用什么方法來解決外語學習中的這一難題呢?通過學習文體學的理論和方法，把文體學的基本出發(fā)點和研究范圍納入外語學習實踐，可以提高學生外語學習的效果?！　τ诖髮W生，特別是高年級大學生，文體學是必學課程。在這個階段，學生已經(jīng)掌握了大量的語料，有了許多感性認識，但缺乏理論的指導、思路的開闊。文體學可以在一定程度上幫助學生改變這種現(xiàn)狀。那么，文體學為什么會有這種功效呢?　　首先，從文體學和語言學的關系上講，文體學有其自己的特點。從語言學的角度講，文體學是語言學的一個分支，研究語言的某個方面，即它所表現(xiàn)出來的某些特點，而語言學是對語言整體的研究。但從文體學的角度講，它是一個特殊的、跨學科的學科。它不僅把文學和語言學聯(lián)系起來，還可以把語言學和許多與語言相關的學科聯(lián)系起來，如社會語言學、心理語言學、話語分析、會話分析、批評話語分析、體裁研究、符號學等。這也顯示了文體學研究的獨特特點。同時，文體學和語言學在研究重點上是有區(qū)別的。語言學以語法作為研究的中心，把組詞造句作為研究的主要對象，同時它也以聚合關系作為研究的重點，無論形式主義還是功能主義都是如此。索緒爾就把研究的重點放在“語言”上，認為話語不是語言學家應該研究的，喬姆斯基也把語言能力作為研究的中心，不考慮語言行為，而功能主義的主要流派——系統(tǒng)功能語言學也把研究的重點放在系統(tǒng)上，認為語言的系統(tǒng)是第一性的，而結構是第二性的，所以它常被稱為系統(tǒng)語法，或系統(tǒng)語言學。而文體學則更注重語言的組合關系、在實際語境中應用的話語，包括索緒爾的言語、喬姆斯基的語言行為和韓禮德的語言實際，或者語言功能。只有這些語言特征才能表現(xiàn)出不同的文體特色，才能在文體分析中進行研究。由此，就引出第二個問題：文體學研究的重點和出發(fā)點與普通語言學是不同的?！　〉诙?，從文體學研究的重點和出發(fā)點上講，文體學研究的出發(fā)點是已經(jīng)產(chǎn)出的語言，已經(jīng)在語境當中使用的語言。這樣，從語料上講，它是活的語言，不是根據(jù)語法規(guī)則推導出來的語言。與它相伴隨的還有情景語境、文化語境、交際目的、交際對象等。文體學研究的重點是發(fā)現(xiàn)語言的文體，以及為了發(fā)現(xiàn)語言的文體而建立起來的一系列理論模式、研究方法、問題分析程序、語料的選擇方法等。

內(nèi)容概要

　　《英語文體學教程》編寫的基本思路是歸納性的。因為學生在大學階段重點仍然是學習最基本的語言知識和技能，語言學和文體學的基本理論知識不足，如果一開始就要學生學習深奧的語言學和文體學的理論，難度很大，也容易使學生失去興趣。所以，《英語文體學教程》采用從感性到理性，從實際語料和手段到理論的方法，一開始就給學生提供大量的真實語料，并對其中的文體特征進行歸納和總結，然后，根據(jù)語言的層次，探討各種語言手段如何使用以取得文體效應，然后談不同的實用文體和文學文體，最后講文體和文體學的理論。 《英語文體學教程》適合作大學本科生的專業(yè)教材和參考書，以及從事英語語言或文學教學的教師和從事英語文體學或文學的研究人員的參考書。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Few Yosemite visitors ever see snow avalanches and fewer still know theexhilaration of riding on them. In all my mountaineering I have enjoyed only oneavalanche ride, and the start was so sudden and the end came so soon I had but littletime to think of the danger that attends this sort of travel, though at such times onethinks fast. One fine Yosemite morning after a heavy snowfall, being eager to see asmany avalanches as possible and wide views of the forest and summit peaks in theirnew white robes before the sunshine had time to change them, I set out early toclimbby a side canyon to the top of a commanding ridge a little over three thousandfeet above the Valley. On account of the looseness of the snow that blocked thecanyon I knew the climb would require a long time, some three or four hours as Iestimated; but it proved far more difficult than I had anticipated. Most of the way Isank waist deep, almost out of sight in some places. After spending the whole dayto within half an hour or so of sundown, I was still several hundred feet below thesummit. Then my hopes were reduced to getting up in time to see the sunset. But Iwas not to get summit views of any sort that day, for deep trampling near the canyonhead, where the snow was strained, started an avalanche, and I was swished down tothe foot of the canyon as if by enchantment. The wallowing ascent had taken nearlyall day, the descent only about a minute. When the avalanche started I threw myselfon my back and spread my arms to try to keep from sinking. Fortunately, though thegrade of the canyon is very steep, it is not interrupted by precipices large enough tocause outbounding or free plunging. On no part of the rush was I buried. I was onlymoderately imbedded on the surface or at times a little below it, and covered witha veil of backstreaming dust particles; and as the whole mass beneath and about mejoined in the flight there was no friction, though I was tossed here and there andlurched from side to side. When the avalanche wedged and came to rest I foundmyself on top of the crumpled pile without a bruise or scar. This was fine experience.
