Abstract

Abstract Exclamative expressions like What an enormous crowd came! and How wonderful this journey is! have been described as forming one of the four basic sentence (or clause) types of English. The present paper discusses the main features of this type and analyzes them with reference to the framework of Discourse Grammar. It is argued that the structure of exclamatives can be related to other sentence types in terms of discourse strategies that are used for constructing texts, in particular by means of cooptation, a cognitive-communicative strategy that enables speakers to use existing text pieces for new discourse functions.

试论英语中wh-感叹词的地位

抽象的感叹词，如“来了一大群人！”！这段旅程多么美妙啊！已经被描述为构成英语的四种基本句子（或从句）类型之一。本文讨论了这一类型的主要特征，并结合语篇语法的框架对其进行了分析。有人认为，在构建文本的话语策略方面，感叹词的结构可以与其他句子类型相关，特别是通过合作，这是一种认知交际策略，使说话人能够利用现有的文本片段来实现新的话语功能。

期刊介绍： Functions of Language is an international journal of linguistics which explores the functionalist perspective on the organisation and use of natural language. It encourages the interplay of theory and description, and provides space for the detailed analysis, qualitative or quantitative, of linguistic data from a broad range of languages. Its scope is broad, covering such matters as prosodic phenomena in phonology, the clause in its communicative context, and regularities of pragmatics, conversation and discourse, as well as the interaction between the various levels of analysis. The overall purpose is to contribute to our understanding of how the use of languages in speech and writing has impacted, and continues to impact, upon the structure of those languages.
