自我指称作为元话语互动资源之一,能够帮助作者确立自我显现度,构建作者与读者的关系并实现特定的交际功能。本研究运用定性定量相结合的方法,基于两个自建语料库探讨中国理工科博士生在学术英语写作中的自我指称语使用特征。研究结果显示:中国博士生学术英语论文中的自我指称语在词汇特征、学科分布与功能类型上与国际期刊论文均有差异,并存在有意弱化作者身份和贡献的现象;相较而言,理科博士生比工科博士生更多使用自我指称语。这一研究对于中国语境下的英语学术写作教学具有借鉴启示作用。
As one of the interactive resources of meta-discourse, self-referential can help the author establish self-expression, build the relationship between author and reader, and achieve specific communicative functions. This study uses qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the characteristics of self-referential use of Chinese Ph.D. students in academic English writing based on two self-constructed corpora. The results show that self-referential language in doctoral dissertations of Chinese Ph.D. differs from international journal articles in lexical characteristics, subject distribution and function types, and there is a tendency to weaken the author’s identity and contribution. In contrast, science Doctoral students use self-referential more than do engineering doctoral students. This research has enlightenment on English academic writing teaching in Chinese context.
