摘要

经济新闻评论是了解当代中国经济的重要材料，对商务汉语学习具有独特价值。本文以28篇《经济日报》经济新闻评论为研究对象，系统分析其语篇特点。宏观结构方面，语篇包含引论、背景、后果、论题、澄清、论据、评价和结论等成分；根据评论场景的不同，可分为精准立论型、背景支撑型和深度解读型三类。微观结构方面，及物性以物质过程和关系过程为主 ；主位以单项主位为主，其推进以延续型、平行型和集中型为主 ；语法衔接以连接、名词性省略和指示照应为主 ；词汇衔接以复现为主 ；功能语气以陈述为主，疑问语气主要用于设问与反问 ；意志语气以必要为主，或然、能力等语气较少。在此基础上，本文提出了针对中高级商务汉语阅读教学的一些启示。

Abstract

Economic news commentaries are an important corpus for understanding contemporary China’s economy and hold unique value for business Chinese learning. This paper takes 28 economic news commentaries from Economic Daily as research objects and systematically analyzes their discourse features. In terms of macrostructure, the discourse comprises components such as introduction, background, consequence, thesis, clarification, argument, evaluation, and conclusion. Depending on the commentary context, three types can be distinguished: precise thesis-led type, background-supported type, and in-depth interpretive type. In terms of micro-structure, transitivity is dominated by material processes and relational processes. As for themes, simple themes prevail. The major patterns of thematic progression include linear progression, parallel progression and collective progression. Grammatical cohesion chiefly relies on conjunction, nominal ellipsis and demonstrative reference, while lexical cohesion relies chiefly on lexical repetition. In respect of functional moods, declarative mood takes the lead, while interrogative mood is mainly used for rhetorical questions and questions for reflection. Regarding volitional moods, obligative mood is predominant, with probable mood, ability mood and other moods used less frequently. Based on these findings, this paper proposes several pedagogical implications for intermediate-to-advanced business Chinese reading instruction.
