摘要：

设立商务英语本科专业是我国高等教育服务国家发展战略的一次创新。相比国内商务英语专业的快速发展,商务英语学科的研究目前总体滞后,理论基础较为薄弱,从学科角度进行的系统性研究数量有限,学科认知仍然模糊。本文在文献综述基础上通过探究商务英语本质,从ESP角度分析了商务英语的特点,论述了商务英语作为“商务共通语”(Business Lingua Franca)所具有的共生性与多维性,明确了商务英语中“商务”(Business)的边界与内涵,进而从学科角度阐述了商务英语学科的核心问题,即“商务英语学科定义、研究对象、特征以及基本内容” “商务英语学科研究领域以及理论体系” “商务英语学科的研究方法”等,最后明确了商务英语学科的整体框架及其构成要素。

关键词: 商务英语学科, ESP, 学科建设

Abstract:

As a measure adopted to reform China's higher education, Business English has been established as an undergraduate major by the Ministry of Education of PRC. Relative to the rapid domestic development of Business English professional education, the research on Business English as an academic discipline is lagging in general, bringing about a fairly weaker theoretical foundation and hindrances to the disciplinary development of Business English. In the academic circles, Business English discipline remains an issue less clarified and calls for more studies that present deep and comprehensive understanding. The author, in this paper, based on a literature review, discusses the nature of Business English, analyzes and summarizes from the perspective of ESP studies the unique features of Business English. By regarding Business English as the Lingua Franca in business communication, the author explains the symbiosis and multi-dimensionalities that Business English has in nature and identifies the disciplinary boundaries and contents of Business English. Moreover, the author explains critical issues related to intellectual discipline of Business English, such as the definition, the research objects, the features, the research fields, the theoretical systems, and the research methodology/methods, and thus identifies the framework and components that constitute the discipline of Business English.
