摘要

摘要本文研究了英语科学话语中的名词化，重点是我所说的“活的”和“死的”语法隐喻之间的区别。生活隐喻是指概念话语语义形象的象征性实现；死隐喻与活隐喻存在于相同的名词化中，但它们实现的是一个实体而不是一个图形。这一区别是通过借鉴系统功能语言学的三层方法来实现的，该方法同时从领域、话语语义和词典语法的角度来考虑名词化。尽管本文侧重于名词化，但它展示了一条更广泛的论证路线，可以扩展到概念话语语义的分析。

Nominalisations in scientific English

Abstract This paper examines nominalisation in scientific discourse in English, focusing on a distinction between what I will refer to as ‘live’ and ‘dead’ grammatical metaphors. Live metaphors refer to a nominal realisation of an ideational discourse semantic figure; dead metaphors are found in the same nominalisations as live metaphors, but they realise an entity rather than a figure. The distinction is made by drawing on a tristratal approach that is informed by Systemic Functional Linguistics and that considers nominalisation simultaneously from the perspectives of field, discourse semantics, and lexicogrammar. Although the paper focuses on nominalisation, it illustrates a broader line of argumentation that can be extended to the analysis of ideational discourse semantic meanings in general.

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.
