摘要: 文章分别选取10篇英汉题材与体裁相同的散文名篇原文及其各自的汉、英翻译文本,对其语篇指示语(discourse deixis)进行基于平行语料的对比研究,提出了基于实证性研究的5种语篇指示语范畴类型,并基于该范畴类型进行例示化的对比统计分析。研究得知,属于形态倾向语言的英语,语篇中多用人称、指示和连接型等语篇指示语,在语篇形式上表现出显性的语篇标记(overt markedness)模式;而缺乏形态标记的汉语,语篇中少用或不用人称、指示型和连接型等语篇指示语,在语篇形式上表现出隐性的语篇标记(covert markedness)形式。

Abstract: This paper tries to probe into the similarities and divergences of discourse deixis based on the parallel contrastive corpus analysis of the original English and Chinese essays sharing the same genre & themes and their equivalent translated texts respectively. Based on the empiri-cal survey, it postulates five typical types of discourse deixis in English and Chinese. The present study makes a pilot contrastive and instantiational-ized survey on the discourse deixis based on the categorization. It proposes that being a weak synthetic language, English utilizes much more discourse deixis such as personal discourse deixis, discourse demonstratives, discourse connectives, and etc., which reflects the properties of overt-marked form in discourse. On the other hand, Chinese, belonging to a typical analytic language, neglects the configuration of sentential structures and employs much less discourse deixis such as personal discourse deixis, discourse demonstratives, discourse connectives, and etc., which embodies the characteristic of covert-marked form in discourse.

Keywords: English & Chinese; discourse deixis; categorization; instantiation; contrastive study
