摘要
英语动词语态的选用及出现的频率与英语的篇章文体有着密切的关系。不同的文体特征会导致被动语态不同的使用频率,相互关联的三大语境变项会制约所采用的文体结构。而且,被动语态的使用还受到语篇的限制,它既具有强调突出话语中某个成分的功能,又能保证话语的连贯性和修辞结构的合理性。
The choice and frequency in different voices of English verbs are closely related to varieties of English. Different sets of style features lead to the difference in the passive frequency while the three variables of situational context determine the style taken. Furthermore, the passive is used under the influence of the text. It functions as a marker to give emphasis to a certain part of the sentence. It can also be chosen to maintain contextual coherence and rhetorical structures.
