摘要
总样本的68.99%分布在句中,30.14%分布于句首,句末鲜见,仅0.87%。当显著性水平接近0.000时,这种差异在统计学上具有显著性。每一标记语在段首句各位置上的选择趋势不等,如but常用于句中、句首,鲜见于句末。句首词频最高的前五个标记语(由高到低)分别有but、although、however、yet和contrast;句中则为but、rather、however、contrast和still;仅有yet、however、at the same time和comparison出现在句末。段首句句中标记语词频大于句首这一统计结果说明,仅以句首位置判定书面语篇标记语是片面的。
Contrastive discourse markers are not evenly distributed in the paragraph-initial sentences of linguistic papers,with the medials overwhelmingly more than the initials.The percentage ratio is at 68.99:30.14:0.87.Few,merely five out of 475,appear at the end of the paragraph-initial sentences.Chi-quare test proves that the frequency is highly significant with their locations in the paragraph-initial sentences.Not each marker has an even trend of appearing at three locations of paragraph-initial sentences.But frequently occurs in the middle of the sentences,and then at the beginning,and rarely at the end.The higher frequencies of the medials than the initials prove that the intuitive belief is deficient on the empirical foundation: sentence-initial position is one of defining characteristics of discourse markers.
