摘要
书评文章属于学术性语篇,具有评价性。有些书评文章中的评价是以评论者和原作者之间辩论的形式展开的,体现出一种学术领域内的对话。本文主要针对应用语言学中的这类书评文章,研究评价过程中所涉及的辩论修辞结构以及体现辩论意义的词汇语义资源。通过对所收集的语料进行定性分析,该研究更好地揭示了这种体裁的修辞结构和语言体现方式。其研究结果有助于人们对某一具体的学术话语进行更为深入和细致的分析,进一步了解其所具有的交际功能;另外,该研究对非英语国家学生的学术写作和阅读也有一定的启发和指导作用。
A book review article is basically a critical analysis of one book,which intends to present a reassessment of the book＇s specific topics in the context of the debate surrounding the issue：a debate that the reviewer constructs not only with the reviewed author but also within the disciplinary area. Within the academic context,the review plays a crucial role in the process of knowledge dissemination and evaluation of others＇ research,while providing an alternative forum in which academics can set out their views. Knowledge of the rhetorical structure and authorial stance together with the linguistic realization is therefore important to readers. Based on 30 book review articles from six applied linguistic journals,the present study is to document some of the linguistic resources used to construct argumentative evaluation in such genre. The results show the major argumentative rhetorical structures used in the evaluation. The detailed analysis of some frequently used reporting verbs indicates the specific roles or functions they play in the realization of this rhetorical structure. The findings of the study have some pedagogical implications for the academic writing course for graduate students,especially students from non-English speaking backgrounds,and more importantly it contributes to the process of better understanding of communication in the academic world.
