    In English Theme is formed by the finite verb + subject,which differs from Chinese,whose Theme element is the same as that in declarative sentences.Compare:Declarative Interrogative[37]您(T, S) 不 認(rèn)識(shí) 我。 您(T, S) 認(rèn)識(shí) 我 嗎?nin bu renshi wo.nin renshi wo ma?You (...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    本章通過(guò)對(duì)《富春山居圖》的分析,揭示了這幅畫卷如何使用繪畫、題跋、印章這些不同的符號(hào)資源,共同構(gòu)建作品的不同畫面含義、畫外含義和歷史含義,它們又如何將不同的模態(tài)成分編制成一個(gè)連貫的整體,雖然有些符號(hào),比如有些印...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    上面我們提到,多模態(tài)語(yǔ)篇分析者使用最多的就是系統(tǒng)功能語(yǔ)言學(xué)理論延伸出來(lái)的分析框架。為什么會(huì)出現(xiàn)這樣的情況呢?這是因?yàn)?這個(gè)理論創(chuàng)立的目的就是為了“語(yǔ)篇分析”。學(xué)派創(chuàng)始人韓禮德特別強(qiáng)調(diào):系統(tǒng)功能語(yǔ)法是一種“語(yǔ)篇...[繼續(xù)閱讀]

    系統(tǒng)功能語(yǔ)言學(xué)認(rèn)為語(yǔ)言是由三個(gè)純理功能實(shí)現(xiàn)的意義潛勢(shì)系統(tǒng)構(gòu)成的,而這三個(gè)純理功能又受制于情景語(yǔ)境和文化語(yǔ)境(Halliday 1994)。文化語(yǔ)境代表我們生活中各種社會(huì)活動(dòng)的抽象意義,它涉及很多層面(Halliday 2002),至少涉及在某個(gè)文...[繼續(xù)閱讀]
