內容簡介
《英語作為外語的課堂問答話語語用研究》在運用話語分析的相關理論對課堂問答話語進行靜態研究的同時,重點運用語用學的主要理論,諸如言語行為、語用前提、合作原則、禮貌原則等,對英語作為外語的課堂問答話語進行了動態研究。
英語課堂教學需要很多語言交流活動,即課堂言語互動。課堂教學的言語互動主要體現在師生言語互動上,而這種言語互動叉往往通過問與答的形式來完成。
語用學研究的是特定語境中的特定話語。在外語課堂教學這一具體語境中,教師的話語角色與他們的社會角色既相一致又相矛盾,這種矛盾統一在問答話語中得到充分的體現。一方面教師通過提問、反饋控制課堂話語和話輪;另一方面教師採用很多禮貌言語策略,鼓勵學生參與課堂互動。在對課堂問答話語的理解與闡述上,英語作為外語的教學語境起著至關重要的作用。言語行為理論為課堂問答話語實施不同功能提供了理論依據。提問可以使言成功有所為,即通過說出(言內行為)“提問”(次要言外行為)這一言語,間接發出指令(主要言外行為),使聽話人按照指令行事(提問的言後行為);“回答”(言內行為),如解釋、造句、朗讀等(言外行為),同樣是按照提問的間接指令在以言行事,滿足提問不同的語用前提,達到提問以言致效的結果。在課堂回答話語中,師生均有違背合作原則的言語。教師違反數量準則,提供比問題所要求更詳盡的話語是在利用回答增加言語輸入;學生對數量準則、質量準則、關聯準則或方式準則的違反,源於語言知識或技能的欠缺。在禮貌原則方面,師生也有許多與社會角色相脫離、與禮貌原則相悖的言語現象。這種對禮貌原則的違反,在課堂教學語境下有助於完成教學任務。
在討論了課堂提問的八種形式、五種功能和回答的三種類型後,我們認為受課堂語境制約,學生作出的非期待回答、零回答與期待回答一樣都對教學具有反饋意義。
