摘要(Abstract):
本研究采用语料库语言学方法,考察了商务话语中的句法名物化使用特点。研究发现,1三类句法名物化结构在商务话语中大量存在;2三类句法名物化中,V-ing分词名物化凸现,具有显著性差异,商务话语中偏爱多用名物化的叙实性动词,V-ing结构在介词后和进行时态中出现频数最高。to不定式和名词小句名物化在商务话语中的使用率基本相等,没有显著差异。此外,无疑问副词不定式要比有疑问副词不定式的频数高很多。三类小句名物化结构存在显著性差异,重点对行为名物化、叙实名物化两类V-ing句法名物化结构进行解读;3商务话语中常用句法名物化主要为了隐藏限定成分,转移信息焦点,设置语用预设。本研究对认识语言名物化特点和国内商务英语教学具有一定启示。
