ABSTRACT
Rhetoric, as an art of discourse, belongs to the category of linguistics. Rhetoric aims to improve the facility of speakers or writers who attempt to persuade or motivate audiences in specific situations. This thesis is to focus on Business English rhetoric (here referred to as modern rhetoric) which is an munication skill in certain context.
This thesis is to analyze the Business English rhetoric from the perspective of register theory. The author employs documentary analysis method, case analysis method and classification analysis method to make an adequate prehensive research on Business English rhetoric. This thesis begins with the introduction in which the reason why this topic is chosen and the purposes of writing are displayed briefly. In the second part the author gives a brief survey of rhetoric. And then the author will introduce the Business English rhetoric from the ic, lexical, sentential and textual level. The fourth part is a brief introduction of register theory. In the fifth part, the author intends to explore the rhetorical features of vocabulary, syntax, and text of Business English on the basis of functional linguist Halliday’s three variables of register theory: field, tenor, and mode, thus further analyzing how Business English rhetoric is strained by Halliday’s register theory. Finally, the author makes a conclusion that the register theory is well applied to analyze rhetoric in Business English.
摘要
修辞是话语的艺术,是语言学的范畴。修辞是讲话者或写作者在特定的情景下试图说服或激励群众而采用的艺术手法。本文的研究对象是商务英语修辞(这里指的是现代修辞),即在特定语境中一种有效的交流手段。
本文对将从语域理论视角下研究商务英语修辞。作者采用文献分析法、个案研究法、分类分析法对商务英语修辞进行全面充分的研究。文章首先简要叙述了选题原因和写作目的;第二部分作者简单陈述修辞学的理论;第三部分介绍商务英语在语音、词汇、句法、语篇层面上独特的修辞特点;第四部分作者简单陈述语域理论;第五部分作者以韩立德的语域理论的作为理论依据,阐释商务英语在词汇、句法和语篇三个方面具有独特的修辞特征,且受话语范围、话语方式和话语基调三种变量的制约。最后作者得出结论:语域理论可以很好地分析商务英语修辞。
