前言
本書是在筆者博士論文的基礎(chǔ)上加工而成的。原論文的寫作源于筆者多年來對世界英語變體(world Englishes)和對比修辭學(xué)(contrastive rhetoric)兩門學(xué)科的互補(bǔ)性的思考。 世界英語變體研究興起于上世紀(jì)80年代初,是第二次世界大戰(zhàn)以來英語迅速國際化和本土化的必然產(chǎn)物。在過去近30年的時(shí)間里,世界英語變體研究領(lǐng)域圍繞英語傳播所出現(xiàn)的種種問題展開了廣泛討論,但總的來講,對其文化影響和意識形態(tài)層面的關(guān)注多于對其語言特征的研究,而對其語言特征的研究則多限于語音、詞匯和句法層面??吹街袊耸褂玫挠⒄Z有地方口音和中國特有的詞匯,就認(rèn)為找到了“中國英語”存在的理據(jù);想到中國目前還沒有母語使用者,又說“中國英語”還不是一種“國別變體”。這樣的研究往往不能觸及“中國英語”的本質(zhì)特征。中國人寫出的、沒有中國特有詞匯的語篇,會(huì)是“美國英語”或者“英國英語”嗎?如果其中真的體現(xiàn)出濃厚的中國特色,探討“國別變體”的意義何在?筆者近年來提倡對英語變體的語篇研究,認(rèn)為只有深入到語篇層面,才能發(fā)現(xiàn)一種變體的本質(zhì),因?yàn)檎Z篇層面是語言和文化以及思維方式的交匯點(diǎn)。對比修辭學(xué)對語言的跨文化研究在這一點(diǎn)上為我們提供了不可多得的借鑒和啟示。
內(nèi)容概要
本書是對世界英語變體的元學(xué)科研究,主要從該學(xué)科的科學(xué)性出發(fā),從研究構(gòu)架、研究方法和研究對象等層面探討了其研究范式的建立問題。作者的主要觀點(diǎn)是:世界英語變體研究應(yīng)該加強(qiáng)語言領(lǐng)域的研究,研究對象應(yīng)該深入到篇章層面;研究方法應(yīng)該借鑒比較修辭學(xué)等應(yīng)用語言學(xué)學(xué)科的統(tǒng)計(jì)和實(shí)證方法。該書的創(chuàng)新之處之一在于論證了 “發(fā)展圈”英語的規(guī)范(norms)在語篇層面更多地依賴于本地語的語篇模式。

章節(jié)摘錄
[i]n his preface,Kaplan lists several journals that have ex-panded the scope of applied linguistics in the past forty years,and while he does not claim that his list is exhaustive,hedoes not mention the journal World Englishes(nor,for thatmatter,does he mention the Journal of Second LanguageWriting).While several works by World Englishes pioneerBraj Kachru appear in the references,they are cited paren.thetically in Ofelia Garcia' s chapter on languagespread. While this volume does not even mention World Eng.1ishes as an area of gtudy,World Englishes scholars havetheir own journal’their own conference,and panels at almostmany linguistics conferences.This level of activity matches oreven exceeds that of other,smaller subfields of applied 1in.guistics,making the absence of World Englishes from thehandbook all the more noticeable as a flaw.(‘Weaknesses’section,para,3). At the same time,a symposium on‘World Englishes and TeachingEnglish as a Foreign Language'at the annual meeting of the AmericanAssociation for Applied Linguistics was held at the Salt Lake City,Utah,on April,2002.The participants realized not only that‘[W]hilethe spread of English,its resultant function in new contexts,and nativ-ization have been discussed and documented in the last twenty years,relatively little research has addressed the pedagogical functions of aworld Englishes approach,’but also that‘EFL pedagogy can be compli-cated and enriched by a world Englishes approach’(McHenry,2002a,p.452). ……
