摘要： 评价性词块是学术语篇中作者表达态度与判断的重要载体。基于自建的中国学者学术语篇语料库与美国当代英语语料库学术子库,制作评价性词块词表。通过对比词表中频数最高的100个评价性词块,发现相较于本族语学者,中国学者鲜少使用名词为核心词的词块,通过间接手段协商态度;过度使用被动语态,对情态序列和it做先行主语的序列使用不足。这导致了中国学者过度使用归属资源表达态度,而对于接纳资源则使用不足。此外,中国学者还不能熟练掌握通过级差系统资源来表现态度意义的等级。本研究的成果也给学术英语写作教学提供了有益的启示。

Abstract: Evaluation chunks are the entity with which an author expresses his or her attitude and judgement in academic texts. Based upon Chinese Scholars Academic English Corpus and academic sections of Corpus of Contemporary American English, two lexical chunk lists, which contain 100 lexical chunks respectively, are obtained. By comparing the 100 most frequently used lexical chunks, it is demonstrated that Chinese scholars seldom use chunks with nouns as the core words to negotiate attitude through indirect means. Passive voice is found to be overused by Chinese scholars, whereas modal sequence and it-exposition sequence are underused compared with native scholars. In this way, attribution resources are overused to express attitude and stance, but entertaining resources are underused. Besides, it appears that Chinese scholars do not have a good command of graduation resources to express differences in attitudinal meaning. This study may provide guidelines for teachers on academic writing instruction.
