摘要:作为系统功能语言学对话语赋值语义进行研究的补充体系;评价理论从语义资源层面对语篇的人际功能进行研究。由于招聘广告对读者的关注性和协商性、对自我的宣扬性与对应聘者描写性;它可能是研究语篇人际意义的较好文本。本文旨在对比英汉招聘广告中评价资源的分布状况、评价资源次范畴的表现形式以及英汉招聘广告背后的多元文化等;以此说明评价理论对语言与文化关系的强大解释力与操作力;对招聘广告撰写及英语写作教学提供有益的借鉴。
Appraisal Theory,as an amendment to Systemic Functional Linguistics,uses semantic resources to interpret discourse semantics of evaluation and interpersonal meanings.Owing to the unique features(e.g.the concern of others and the consultation tone,self compliment and descriptiveness of the desired applicants),recruitment advertisements might be an ideal genre for interpersonal meaning analysis.This paper aims at exploring how appraisal resources are used and distributed in both English and Chinese recruitment advertisements,the ways the subcategories of appraisal resources manifest themselves in the discourses,and the intangible multicultural facets behind these advertisements.It is hoped that this paper will help to prove the applicability of Appraisal System in the interpretation of language and culture,as well as to bring enlightenments on the understanding of advertisements and the teaching of English writing.
