《当代外国语言文学研究文库·学术文本的短语型式与意义:语料库数据驱动研究》基于NEW-JDEST语料库证据,系统地描述与概括学术英语文本中的短语序列,及其显著的形式、意义和功能特征。在数据处理上,本文从多词序列的内部粘着力着手建立新的方法实现计算机自动提取连续短语序列,并以NEW-JDEST语料库为测量对象,检验该方法的有效性。在语篇功能分析层面上,《当代外国语言文学研究文库·学术文本的短语型式与意义:语料库数据驱动研究》参照Halliday的语言元功能理论,提出短语序列语篇功能的三维模型--经验、立场和组织。这三类语篇功能并非互补而是相互独立,从不同的角度描述学术文本的短语学特征。《当代外国语言文学研究文库·学术文本的短语型式与意义:语料库数据驱动研究》可供短语学、语料库语言学、以及学术语篇等领域的研究人员使用。
《当代外国语言文学研究文库·学术文本的短语型式与意义:语料库数据驱动研究》是一个开放性和创新性的学术平台,旨在探索当代语言文学研究的发展规律,展示该领域研究的最新学术成果。

This chapter discusses the patterns and functions of stance PSs in academictexts and characterizes their most prominent features. Section 7. 1 presents the notions of stance PSs in light of Biber's point of view (1999, 2006). Section 7. 2generalizes the lexico-grammatical marking of stance. Section 7. 3 describes thebroad structural categorization of stance PSs. Sections 7. 4 to 7. 7 dwell upon thefour structural subclasses respectively: adverbial stance PSs, overt subject PSs,it-extraposed PSs, and null subject PSs.
7. 1Notions of stance PSs
In academic texts, authors often need to evaluate or comment on previousstudies, to take stance and voice their own viewpoints, to present arguments,and to offer suggestions to peers in the same discourse community. A panoply of PSs are used to realize purposes as such, and they are collectively named stance PSs in this thesis. In general, stance PSs express authors' internal feelings,beliefs, thoughts, etc., and provide a typical frame of "attitudes, valuejudgments, or assessments for interpreting a propositional content or explicitlyaddressing readers", either to focus their attention or influence them (Biber etal. 1999: 966). Specifically, stance PSs may convey attitudes that an author hasabout certain information, how certain they are about its authenticity, how the ygained access to the information, and what stand they are taking.7.2Lexico-grammatical marking of stance Stance can be expressed to iffering extents through lexico-grammaticaldevices, which are categorized into two types: (a) Value-laden word choice,which involves a single evaluative or attitudinal word, such as appreciate, sureand signi ficance, from the use of which the existence of a stance can be in ferred.Such value-laden words are usually assumed by an adjective, main verb, or noun.(b) Grammatical stance marking, where a distinct grammatical structure is usedto express stance with respect to some other proposition.
