1、Chapter 7语篇翻译衔接与连贯语篇通常指一系列连续的语段或句子构成的语言整体。它可以是独白、对话，也可以是 众人交谈；可以说文字标志，也可以是诗歌、小说。它可以是讲话，也可以是文章；短者一 两句可成篇，长者可洋洋万言以上。所以，可以说，无论是一句问候、一次谈话、一场论文 答辩、一次记者招待会的问答，还是一张便条、一封书信、一份科研报告、一本文稿，都可 以是语篇。语篇包括“话语”(discourse)和“篇章”(text)。衔接与连贯(Cohesion vs Coherence)衔接体现在语篇的表层结构上，是语篇的有形网络；连贯存在于语篇的底层，是语篇的 无形网络。衔接与连贯密不可分，衔接
2、是实现语篇连贯的一个重要前提，但并不是说，连贯必须 要以衔接为前提。衔接(Cohesion)7.2.1定义衔接是将语句聚合在一起的语法及词汇手段的统称，是语篇表层的可见语言现象。.Paris Ive always wanted to gothere.7.2.2分类衔接手段大致可分为语法衔接手段(grammatical cohesion)和词汇衔接手段(lexical cohesion)两种。前者包括指称(reference)、替代(substitution)、省略(ellipsis)和关联/连接词 (conjunction)；(后者指复现(reiteration)和P同现(collocatio

6、her.”-Jane Austen: Pride and prejudice7.2.5 省略(ellipsis)省略是用词项空缺的方式达到上下文衔接的目的。省略是在简洁和清晰两者间的一种协 调。它往往包括名词性省略、动词性省略和分句性省略。.Because Alice wont, Mary has to dust the furniture.Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to c

10、7.2.7 连词(conjunction)连词作为衔接手段，是“使句子、分句和段落相互联系的形式标记”(Mona Baker)。可以分 为四类：增补、转折、因果和时间(Halliday &Hason)。.Our arguments were often brought before our father, and I guess I was either generally in the right, or else a better debater, because the judgment was usually in my favor.

12、Rolls, Benjamin Franklin)7.2.8 词汇衔接(lexical cohesion)指运用词语达到语篇衔接目的的手段包括同义衔接和组合衔接*同义衔接：指运用同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词、概况词等所构成的词汇链。 组合衔接：词语一旦进入语篇生成过程，它们便不再是一个个孤立的词语，它们的意义也不在是字典上 所罗列的孤立的、静态的意义。词语的意义是不同词语组合的结果，是受不同的上下文，或 者说语言语境的制约而生成的。语篇中的词语处于一种动态的组合状态中，它们的意义是相 互紧密衔接的，这便是所谓的组合衔接。.One hundred hours a week were devot
