摘要

主位结构是学术写作中组织思想的一个重要概念。尽管许多研究都集中在调查它是如何在学生写作中实现的,但只有少数研究集中在调查不同水平学生文本中的主题结构。本文以系统功能语言学(SFL)为工具,分析了24篇高、低分论文的思想组织与发展。这是一个具有补充定量数据的定性内容分析。研究结果显示,在高分和低分论文中,思想的组织和发展方式存在显著差异。尽管在两组中都观察到了所有类型的主题(主题、人际关系、篇章主题),但高分论文阐述的主题比低分论文阐述的更多,这表明高分论文包含的从句更多。关于主题推进,所有的模式都出现在文章中。线性主题模式主要应用于高分作文,而恒定主题模式在低分作文中应用较多。在所有学生的作文中都很少观察到“分体-Rheme”模式。这些发现表明,高成就者通过线性主题模式提供了更多阐述的想法,而他们的同伴倾向于关注通过主题重复反映的主题。因此,这意味着作家在写作中组织和发展思想的熟练程度,这反映在主题选择和推进上。

Thematic Structure in Students’ Writings: Implications on their Ideas Organization and Development
Thematic structure is an important concept in organizing ideas in academic writing. Although numerous studies have focused on investigating how it is realized in students' writing, only a few focus on investigating thematic structure in students' text across different proficiency levels. This article is based on a study analyzing idea organization and development in 24 high and low-scoring essays through Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). It was a qualitative content analysis with complementary quantitative data. The results show significant differences in how ideas are organized and developed in high and low-scoring essays. Even though all types of Themes (topical, interpersonal, textual Theme) were observed in both groups, the high-scoring essays elaborated more themes than the low ones indicating that the high-scoring essays comprised more clauses. As for Thematic Progression, all the patterns were present in the essays. The Linear Theme pattern was primarily applied in high-scoring essays, while the Constant Theme pattern was applied frequently in the low-scoring ones. The Split Rheme pattern was less observed in all the students' essays. These findings indicate that the high achievers provided more expounded ideas through linear theme patterns, whereas their counterparts tended to focus on a subject reflected through Theme reiteration. Thus, this implies that proficiency characterized writers in organizing and developing ideas in writing as reflected through thematic Choice and Progression.
