要讨论形容词的分类问题,首先必须搞清形容词究竟有哪些特征?普遍认为形容词有四大特性:a.作定语;b.作表语(即主补宾补);c.被very修饰; d.有比较等级.有必要指出:形容词确有以上四大特性.但并非所有形容词必须同时具备以上四个条件.语言大师R·Quirk等人在A Crammar of ContemPorary English(《当代英语语法》)及 AComPrehensive Grammar of the English Language(《英语语法大全》)中都指出:能同时起定语和表语作用的形容词为中心(核心)形容词(Central or Core Adjectives);而

文学语篇中的衔接及其对英文写作的启示

根据Halliday系统功能语法的衔接系统理论,衔接是语义系统,是连贯语篇的重要内容之一,主要由语法手段和词汇手段体现。本文以经典文学语篇《艾丽丝漫游奇境记》的第一章《跌进兔穴》为个案进行实证语篇分析,揭示衔接构建连贯的文学语篇的功能。通过对照应和连结以及重述和搭配等手段的具体运用分析,不仅可从语言学的角度增进对文学作品的理解和评价,而且对撰写连贯的英语文章也有指导意义。     

转换生成语法的独创性及其缺陷

转换生成语法是著名语言学家阿夫莱姆·诺姆·乔姆斯基在20世纪50年代末期提出的一系列语言学理论中的核心。它提出了许多独创性的见解,比如说人类创造语言的能力是先天、无穷的,以至于曾被称作是一场语言学的革命。但是这个理论无法解释一些现实中人们学习外语的问题,诸如为什么不同的人学习语言的能力不一样等等,因此也存在一些缺陷。

New Headway English Course教材特色及其对我们的启示

不论是传统的还是新的英语教学思想，都把语言知识。如语音、语法、词汇及听、说、读、写四会技巧的培养作为学习目标。牛津大学出版社于1998年出版的New Headway English Course系列教材对语言的展现。语言知识的学习，四会技巧的培养，课堂活动的组织都有精妙之处，不仅克服了传统教材之不足，而且仍然充分体现着传统的和互动式教学法互补的教材编写思想，其深刻的教学法思想可归纳为以下几点：1、语法学习走出枯燥，成为归纳与演绎并举的发现过程。学生受到激发后，自己归纳出语言规则，而且能在有趣的语言上下文中能充分理解语言规则。2、在爽心悦目的课堂活动中，轻松的语言输入过程在不知不觉中带来了学习者的语言输出。在学生各自英语知识的范围内，技能得到了充分训练。3、语言学习活动多样化，各项技能训练既相互独立，又互相配合，习得过程与学习收获相辅相成。4、教材内容更新快。5、新的学习项目系统化的循环往复保证了学习的有效性。这套教材的编写者已然看到了课堂教学活动中会发生什么，看到学生所需要的是什么，并在每项活动中扮演什么角色，着眼于如何使学习环节自然，流畅，互为依托，以及教师该如何引导学生有效地学习。这套教材对国内教材编写很有启发。如能借鉴这套教材编写新的学习材料，将更大的促进国内的英语教学。
