摘要
作者以海明威小说《老人与海》中的微型语域语篇体裁为语料,探讨了主位推进模式与语篇体裁之间的关系.结论是:语言是一个社会符号体系.语篇体裁在本质上也是一个社会符号体系.就主位推进模式而言,不同类型的语篇体裁所具有的不同的交际目的可以使信息发出者对选择偏重于不同类型的主位推进模式.一定的主位推进模式可以帮助建立某个语篇的语篇体裁地位.
In this paper the author mainly discusses the relationship between genre and the thematic progression. Through analysis of the micro-register texts taken from Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, it is found that narrative texts always have the second type of thematic progression as its dominating thematic development. In object descriptive texts the first type of thematic development that helps change the topic direction and the third type of thematic development that helps form a general and specific text pattern are quite common. The third type of thematic development is also a dominant one in opinion texts. All of them enable us to tentatively generalize that the text type is not only realized by the generic structure potential but also by the thematic development on the linguistic level. Language is a semiotic system, and so is the text type. What a writer chooses to place at the initial position among a set of choices at his disposal is a meaningful choice rather than an arbitrary or random one.
