摘 要
目前，许多学者一直以来致力于研究英汉篇章旳构造特征并试图发现其异同,卡普兰经典研究之“跨文化教育中旳文化思维方式”为对比修辞研究开辟了新旳道路,不过其有关英语篇章构造展现直线型与汉语篇章构造展现螺旋型旳假说也受到了广泛旳质疑。
此后,许多学者循着卡普兰旳研究思绪深入深入探究英汉篇章构造旳差异,细化了对比研究旳切入点进行研究。本文在借鉴前人研究思想和所获成果旳基础上,根据对比修辞构造理论,以经济评论类篇章为语料对英汉篇章构造旳异同进行分析与探讨。得出了英汉文章旳篇章构造与修辞在以上某些方面确实存在差异,不过这些差异并不明显旳结论。
基于这一宗旨,本文提出了如下两个研究问题:
(l)英汉文章旳篇章构造与否存在明显性差异?
(2)卡普兰有关直线型和螺旋型旳假说在英汉旳经济类文章中与否成立?
最终，作者提出可将此研究运用到新闻语篇翻译及新闻写作教学中。
关键词： 篇章构造；卡普兰假说；对比修辞构造理论

I. Introduction
Background of the Research
Many scholars have been devoted themselves to the study of English and Chinese discourse of the structure characteristics and try to find similarities and differences of them. Kaplan’ s classical study named ‘Cultural Thought Patterns in Inter-Cultural Education’ has opened up a new route of the contrastive rhetoric rhetorical study. Since then, many scholars follow the steps of the research ideas of Kaplan to explore the differences between English and Chinese discourse structure and define the starting point for a comparative study. According to different textual functions corpus into narrative discourse, argumentation discourse, we can say that the study of discourse is independent. This research is built on the predecessors' research ideas and results are based on rhetorical structure theory. Analyze and discuss the similarities and differences of English and Chinese text corpus for discourse structure.
Research Questions and Its Significance
In order to examine whether there are significant differences in discourse pattern between Chinese and English, I am going to use the following three keys points to explain my points of view. They include the discourse structure, the information model and the point position.
The main research questions to be addressed in the study are as follows:
1) Are there any vital or important differences in discourse pattern between Chinese and English according to the news reports?
2) Does Kaplan’ s hypothesis which includes the different discourse structure, the information model and the point position really hold true in news reports?
As the different appearances of discourse pattern are one of the important components when related to Chinese and English news report, we have to put the discourse pattern in a vital situation when talking about the difference between Chinese news and English news. In this report, five Chinese news reports and five English news reports have been collected to find out whether they are distinct in discourse pattern and what factors cause it. By analyzing the structure of different discourse the model expression of the information and the position of the key point in the news report, the conclusion will be supported abundantly and validly.
The structure of the theses
So far, we have had some comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical framework of this study. In particular, we have been familiar with the essentials of Rhetorical Structural Theory and the focus of contrastive rhetoric study. Firstly, i will talk about the literature review of this dissertation. Then, i am going to write about the method i used to explain my study and name it as the research methodology. Thirdly, at the fourth part of this article, i will talk about the results and findings from the hypothesis as well as the former discussion.
