3.2 分析结果与探讨
从上表可以看出,韩礼德的六个过程模式在英文议论中呈现不均衡分布。从整体来看,物质过程和关系过程所占比例分别为33%和34.4%。这就意味着在英文议论文中,物质和关系过程占据主体地位,二者总体超过总数的三分之二,而其他四个过程仅占不到三分之一。单从主句来看,关系过程以41.2%的比例占据主导地位,同时,我们可以发现一个非常有趣的现象,即物质,心理,言语过程所占比例均为16.5%。在从句的过程分布比例中,物质过程占41.5%,非常接近关系过程在主句中所占的比重。其次是关系过程,所占百分比为23.4。存在过程在整体分句,主句及从句中的分布比例较为稳定。出现比例最小的为行为过程。
结合小句过程模式的分布比例和议论文的特点,笔者的分析如下:
第一,物质过程是摆事实,讲论据的最佳途径。作为质询和决策的方式之一,议论文应当提供充分有力的证据来引领读者挖掘事件的方方面面。论据通常包括常识,例证,事实,数据,引用等等。有效的论据必须能够清楚直接地证明论点cssci期刊目录。一般情况下,人的行为即为已经发生的无可改变的既成事实,而物质过程作为外部经验的表述恰好使其成为了提供论据最为常用的模式。在议论文中,从句通常扮演着为主句提供事实或数据的角色,由此不难解释为何物质过程在从句中占据绝对比例。例如,在复杂句“advertisements are now so numerous that theyare very negligently perused”中,其从句“they are verynegligently perused,”阐述了主句所引发的事实结果。相反地,主观意见和心理活动的论证说明力远不如事实,这也正是心理过程在议论文中所占比重较小的原因。
第二,关系过程在英文议论文中的显著地位源于其对逻辑关系的阐释。逻辑性对议论文至关重要功能语法,议论文的目的就是通过理性说明来赢得读者的认同,而读者对新观点的认同建立在其已认同的事实和原理的基础之上。因此,从本质上来说,议论文是通过良好的逻辑建立和加强共同与合作意识的过程。换言之,所有能够作为论据的事实和原理都必须相互并与结论有逻辑性地联系在一起,任何逻辑错误或推理失误都可能导致读者对整篇文章论点的怀疑。关系过程,表明一项经验与另一项经验之间的关系,恰好能够清楚地阐释读议论文中的逻辑关系。以代表句型“x is a”为例,x与a之间的逻辑关系并非唯一的。a既可作为某项特征表明x的特性,也可作为指代与x进行互换。简而言之,在关系过程中,主句通常是被从句归纳化或概念化的特征或指代。
第三,在英文议论中,看似表达主观观点与意愿的言语过程同样不可或缺。引用权威的语言,观点,评论或表达都常常作为强有力的事实支撑来赞同或反对某一观点,而无论是直接引用还是间接引用,都必须通过言语过程来体现。
第四,其他过程类型在英文议论文中同样占据一席之地并发挥着举足轻重的作用。对议论文而言,描述,叙述,阐释等写作手法的合理利用与相辅相成无疑是锦上添花。正因如此,六个过程在英文议论文中的不同分布比例恰好是议论文客观,有逻辑,严肃及某种程度上带有一定主观色彩的特点等要求的自然结果。

水——我们的朋友 平达曾说过:“自然界的一切事物中,唯有水最珍贵。”是啊,水是我们的朋友,没有了水,就没有了我们。让我们一起与水做个好朋友吧! 水看见人们不节约用水,伤心地说:我对人类的所作所为感到不满,我为人类做了那么多的贡献,可人类总是滥用我。这样既会导致水源的'流失,又会严重影响生态环境。 在生活中,处处都要用到水。洗菜要用水,洗车要用水,洗澡要用水??,这往往会浪费很多水。其实,请把水龙头开小一点,把废水再次利用,这样我们就能与水做好朋友了。比如:洗菜水可以浇花;洗澡水可以冲马桶??这样,不仅能节约用水,还对别的事物有好处呢! 如果水能这
样一滴一滴的节约起来,虽然不是太多,但是全世界人民都这样做,怎么会没有水呢? 人们可知道,世界上有许多地方水都很少,有些人,因为喝不上水,而死去,他们说:“请他们喝酒,不如请他们喝水。”下雨天,曾是他们最快乐的日子,他们可以用雨水洗澡,还能接水,以后用。他们把水当做奇珍异宝, 每次喝水都要去很远的井里去挑,那井里的水比黄河水还浑浊,比海水还难喝。由此可见,他们是多么爱水啊!如果我们能节约用水,他们的生
活难道会这样吗? 不节约用水,不但会导致水源的流失,还会影响生态环境。 有些工厂既不节约用水,还排放污水放到河流中,这样,水不仅流失了,还会影响生态环境。
n life we all have to go through failure, but failure is terrible, just keep an optimistic attitude, can overcome difficulties.
Who will be failure, some people give up after failure, however, some people maintained an optimistic attitude, fell to climb up from there. If you ask I will choose which one, I will choose the latter. If you don't believe it, then read on!
Remember once the mid-term examination, it may be because I am not serious, to solve the problem that the result is not ideal. Looking at the award-winning students happily accept, my heart is envy and regret, regret not serious. If I had some seriously, I am the one can stand on the podium. At this moment, I slammed the thought of "optimistic" this two word, I thought: in fact also nothing important, just a test, the next effort. So, I began to study strenuously. Finally, the next time the mid-term exam, I won the first place. Although this is just a simple two words - optimism, however, some people have no choice, so there is no success. But some people choose optimism and success. Like a famous writer Helen Keller, although she had polio, and don't move, however, she chose the optimism, the final success.
In the pessimistic people's eyes, things could have been successful as it do not succeed. But in the eyes of an optimist, otherwise might not succeed, they also can do a good job. This is the biggest different optimists and pessimists. In outstanding people, it is easy to find, in failure, we can easily find pessimistic. Therefore, we must be optimistic and optimistic will bring you success.

作为当今最有影响力之一的语言学理论,功能语法以社会学为导向,着重语言的功能性研究。其创始人韩礼德从儿童和成人的语言学习角度将语言功能高度理论化。根据韩的观点,儿童所使用的最原始的语言能够被简概为一套高度编码且抽象的功能,其中包含三个元功能(纯理功能):概念功能(ideational function),人际功能(interpersonal function)以及语篇功能(textualfunction)[1]。概念功能进一步被细化为和逻辑功能,表述在我们周围及自身所发生的事情,称之为“内容(content)”。概念功能通过及物性(transitivity)来实现,及物性由六个过程组成,即物质过程,心理过程,关系过程,行为过程,言语过程和存在过程。
功能语法把用来表达一系列概念意义,抽象和具体的外部世界,以及人的意识过程的结构单位叫做小句(clause),即句子或类似句子结构的统称。一个小句包含三个功能成份:过程(process),参与者(participant),和环境(circumstantials)。其中主要成份过程代表事件或状态,参与者即从时间,地点,方式等各个层面参与的人或事功能语法,而具体的参与者功能取决于过程类型。语言的及物性和作格性能够帮助将过程进行归类,及物性把经验世界看作是一套可控的过程模式。简而言之,及物性是与概念元功能相一致的小句语法,及物性分析能够定义不同的过程类型并由此决定过程的参与者,从而明确过程与参与者之间的逻辑关系[2]。
在韩提出的六个过程中,物质,心理和关系过程是最主要的。他们作为经验理论,是语法的奠基石,呈现三种截然不同的结构,是篇章中所有小句的主体。同时,韩提出了一个假设,这三个过程在整个语言中的分布频率大致平衡。然而,他自己也承认,此理论未经证实[3]。韩礼德用来阐释六个过程的小句皆为简短且相互独立无关联的句子,而此后的相关过程模式研究也仅仅探究了口头语篇或主观自创的例句cssci期刊目录。
巍巍呼高山,汤汤乎流水。飞涧旁这段以诚相待,曲论相和的一瞬定格为千古佳话。知音难求,伯牙奏琴为子期,摔琴亦为子期。这情意如何不令人感动。而今,披肝沥胆的知音再也难觅。只缘人们拥有的纯洁太少。没有水的纯净,没有透明敞开的胸怀,着世间就无真诚可言。何不收其虚伪,展示真诚。
看着这透明如水晶的水,我们那颗被世俗之尘掩埋得太久的心,怎能没有冲见天日呼吸真诚的冲动。拥抱纯真,拥抱真诚,去成就一段马克思恩格斯般高尚的友谊,去结交一位誓友,莫逆,忘年,只要心相知,手相牵,意相同。
水教人真诚,正如叶尖那滴雨露,透明纯洁,折射出太阳的光芒。
天下之柔莫过于水。昼夜不舍的滴坠去赋予水无穷的力量。因渺小而被忽视,因忽视而暗中积攒着力量,直到将万年磐石一点点磨蚀,在世人惊叹的注目中有了穿石的壮举。
明白了持之以恒,竺可桢数十年如一日,观察记录天气情况,终成举世著名的气象学家,懂得了锲而不舍,贝多芬在静寂的世界中,用心灵演奏了命运交响曲的豪壮,有了水刚柔相济的力量,这世上多了几份执着,几份坚持。
水教人执着,正如那穿石得滴水,下坠,下坠,最终拥有成功的欢悦。
水,这就是水,水以其博大,纯净,力量感动着我,而我亦将用博大,纯净和力量去书写自己的人生,我不敢奢求拥有一段辉煌的人生,我只企盼今生无悔。
