基于ESP体裁分析理论的摘要四语步模式,对随机抽样的五十篇英文金融学学术论文摘要的体裁结构和话语特征进行分析。结果发现以下语步结构:1.标准结构;2.语步重组;3.语步缺失;4.语步内嵌;5.非常规步骤的插入。此外,针对人称代词、情态动词、语态和时态的话语特征分析显示出了与其他学科一定的趋同性。分析结果对于科研工作者和ESP写作教学具有一定的实践指导意义。
This paper reports on a genre-based analysis of research article (RA) abstracts for financial eco- nomics,using Bhatia's four-move model (1990) to capture the generic structure as well as the linguistic features of 50 English RA abstracts by a stratified random sampling. Five move structures were detected: (1) Standard ordering of moves; (2) Significant reordering of moves; (3) Missing of the moves; (4) Em- bedded move; (5) The insertion of unconventional move. There is the agreed finding with the previous re- search as to the linguistic features of the corpus. The present analysis is helpful to offer suggestions to re- searchers as well as ESP teachers who will guide students to explore the discourse conventions of the RA abstracts in their own texts.
