A Cognitive-Grammatical Analysis of Nominalization in English Journals of Forestry

本研究基于系统功能语言学家和认知语言学家的名词化研究，通过语料库检索软件AntConc 4.2.4对比了林学期刊论文语料库和林学教科书语料库，发现林学英文期刊论文中存在较为普遍的名词化现象，并基于美国罗纳德·韦恩·兰艾克(Ronald Wayne Langacker)的认知语法理论，重点从词汇名词化、动名词两个角度来分析这一现象，然后结合语料库中的真实语料讨论了名词化在林学学术论文写作与翻译中的功能。Based on the research of nominalization by systemic functional linguists and cognitive linguists, this study compares the forestry journal paper corpus and forestry textbook corpus through the corpus search software AntConc 4.2.4, and finds that there is a phenomenon of nominalization in forestry English journal papers. Based on the theory of Ronald Wayne Langacker’s Cognitive Grammar, this phenomenon is examined by focusing on the two perspectives of lexical nominalization and gerundization, and then combined with the real language data in the corpus, the function of nominalization in the forestry academic essay writing and translation is also discussed.
