摘要

本文研究的是英语语篇中的词汇衔接手段,分为复现关系和同现关系两大类。词汇的复现关系是词以原词、同义词、近义词、上下义词、概括词或其他形式重复出现在语篇中,使语篇中的句子相互衔接。词汇的同现关系也称为搭配,是词汇共同出现的倾向性;其中本文主要探讨反义关系,互补关系和部分与整体三个方面的词汇同现关系。课题的研究方法是为以英语报刊和短文为原材料的观察法和例案分析法。通过对近期英语新闻报中的语篇中的词汇衔接手段的分析,本文探究了词汇衔接的重要意义并得出了对其应用的结论。词汇衔接手段是语篇衔接中最重要的手段之一,与语篇构建的质量有直接的关系,是整个语篇达到连贯的重要条件。对词汇衔接关系的研究可帮助我们深化对语篇的分析和理解,有助于更好地把功能语言学的理论运用到实践中去,将词汇衔接应用到英语教学中去,并提高对英语语篇的理解和鉴赏能力。

Abstract

This paper studies lexical cohesive device in English discourse, which includes two major parts: reiteration and co-occurrence. Reiteration refers to a word or lexical item reappears in a discourse in the form of the same word, synonyms, near synonyms, general word or any other, so as to make sentences associated with one another. Co-occurrence, also called collocation, refers to the co-occurrence tendency of words. In this paper, three collocation types, antonyms, complementaries and part-whole, are to be discussed. The study methods used during the writing of this paper are observation and case-study, which are based on the reading materials like English journals, news and essays. Through the analysis of lexical cohesive device in the discourse selected from recent news reports, the paper is to study the significant importance of lexical cohesion and bring up a conclusion concerning its application. Lexical cohesive device is one of the most importance means to ensure the cohesion of the text; it is directly related to the quality-construction of a discourse, and important to achieving textual coherence. The study on lexical cohesion can help us further our analysis and understanding of a discourse, contribute to putting the functional linguistics theory into practice, and even improve our comprehension and appreciation of the English discourse.

Key words: lexical cohesion; discourse; reiteration; co-occurrence

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this Paper
Cohesion and coherence are two basic concepts in language analysis field. Cohesion concerns both lexical and grammatical device, and coherence is the effect achieved by these devices. Cohesion, as an indispensable part of the analysis of language, has attracted the interest of people from both home and abroad in recent years. Longman Dictionary of contemporary English defines cohesive as an adjective, connected or related in a reasonable way to form a whole. (Julianah Akindele, 2011:99) In Halliday and Hasan’s (1976: 4) influential work Cohesion in English, the authors explain that cohesion is a semantic concept, referring to meaning relations in text. (Iain McGee, 2009:212) Cohesion can be divided into two broad areas: grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion. This paper is to discuss different cohesive ties that are used in English articles, where four types of cohesive device are concerned.
