摘要

立场研究是学术写作和商务写作中一个日益突出的研究领域。本研究调查了高等教育中两种重要类型的立场标记的使用情况:二语商务学术论文学习者和英语母语学习者。本研究使用海洋二语学习者语料库和英国学术写作英语(BAWE)作为语料库语言分析的参考语料库。本研究采用混合方法对海事大学二语学习者的二语写作进行评估。研究表明,用于表明立场的精确标记,包括认知和文本线索,可以区分不同水平的学生写作。研究结果表明,在许多体裁中存在两种一致的姿态预期。根据对数据的分析,该研究表明,BEC 2018的助推器数量比BAWE和BEC 2017的语料库要多得多。同时,与非本地BEC语料库相比,发现在非本地BEC语料库中使用套期保值的频率更高。此外,议论文和解释性写作在使用立场标记来放大和对比观点方面存在显著差异。

A corpus-based study of stance markers in academic thesis writing by L2 undergraduates
The study of stance is an increasingly prominent area of research in academic and business writing. This study investigates the use of stance markers in two significant genres in higher education: L2 learners of business academic theses by and L1 British native learners. The study uses a corpus of maritime L2 learners and British Academic Writing English (BAWE) as a reference corpus for the corpus linguistic analysis. The study makes use of mixed methods to assess the L2 writing of maritime university L2 learners. The study demonstrates that the precise markers used to indicate stance, including both epistemic and textual cues, can differentiate between different levels of student writing. The results of the study indicate that there are two consistent stance expectations observed in many genres. Based on analysis of the data, the study shows that BEC 2018 features considerably greater number boosters than the BAWE and BEC 2017 corpuses. At the same time, when compared against the non-native BAWE corpus, hedging was found to be more frequently employed within the non-native BEC corpus. Additionally, there are notable differences between argumentative and explanatory writing in terms of the use of stance markers that amplify and contrast ideas.
