摘要:

身份构建是石油学术语篇中体现作者在该领域贡献的重要方式。为了解英语学术语篇中作者身份的构建手段及其语用功能,收集了SPE(石油工程师协会)英语论文50篇,采用Wordsmith 5.0进行检索,研究国外学者如何在石油学术语篇中建构其作者身份,并以“面子保全”理论分析其语用功能。结果表明,第一人称复数各种形式是最重要的建构手段,在不同语境中实现不同语用功能;第三人称抽象名词在建构中占据重要地位,实现了与人称代词不同的语用功能;介词短语也是建构手段之一,同样体现了作者的主体地位。

Abstract:

The structuring of author’s identity is a vital way to present in petroleum academic texts the authors’ contribution to the field. To get first hand information about the means of identity structuring and their pragmatic functions, we collected 50 English petroleum academic texts from SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers). With Wordsmith 5.0, we studied the means by which native writers structure their identity in the texts. The pragmatic functions of the means were analyzed within the theoretical framework of Face-saving Theory. We found that the first person plurals, the most important means of identity structuring, perform various pragmatic functions in different contexts. And the third person abstract nouns are of vital significance in identity structuring, performing different pragmatic functions from first person plurals. Results also show that native writers also employ some prepositional phrases to structure their self-identity.
