句子功能与语篇连贯
一篇文章是由数量不等、语义相关的句子组成的。任何文章不论其主题是什么、采用何
种结构,也不论篇幅长短,都离不开句子。句子在语篇中发挥着不同的功能,它们或分析原
因、预测结果,或引经据典、举例说明,或记叙点滴、描述过程,或分解归类、对比说明。
作者正是根据句子不同的功能,并将它们合理安排,从而形成了一个连贯的语篇。接下来我
们以“It’s all about ME!”这篇课文中 Anthony 的部分为例,分析不同的句子是如何构成一个真
正意义上的语篇的。
本部分第一句概述了作者之前对自己外貌的态度——never really cared about,接下来第
二句通过 why 巧妙地将这两句衔接起来 ——正是因为不在乎自己的外貌,所以 Anthony 无
法理解姐姐的行为。第三句“I only used ... five identical shirts.”通过对自己穿衣习惯的描述,
具体解释了第一句,同时与第二句中姐姐的行为形成对比。第四句“When I ... day after day”
是第三句中的行为导致的结果,同时又是第五句这一结果的原因。第六句描述了 Anthony
参加“A New You”这个电视节目的感受,第七句解释了 Anthony 为什么会觉得奇怪。第八、
九、十句将语篇的话题转移到了参加电视节目给 Anthony 带来的积极影响,以及 Anthony
对形象的全新认识。最后一句解释了为什么 Anthony 觉得外在美并不是一文不值的,是对第
十句的具体阐释。
同学们试着分析本篇课文的其余部分,看看作者是如何通过合理安排句子顺序来实现语
篇连贯的。
