内容摘要 In this book Michael McCarthy and Ronald Carter describe the discoursal properties of language and demonstrate what insights this approach can offer to the student and teacher of language. The authors examine the relationship between complete texts, both spoken and written, and the social and cultural contexts in which they function. They argue that the functions of language are often best understood in a discoursal environment and that exploring language in context compels us to revise commonly-held understandings about the forms and meanings of language. In so doing, the authors argue the need for language teachers, syllabus planners and curriculum organisers to give greater attention to language as discourse.在这本书中,迈克尔·麦卡锡和罗纳德·卡特描述了语言的话语属性,并展示了这种方法可以为语言学生和教师提供哪些见解。作者研究了完整的口头和书面文本与它们发挥作用的社会和文化背景之间的关系。他们认为,语言的功能通常在话语环境中才能得到*好的理解,在语境中探索语言迫使我们修正对语言形式和含义的普遍理解。为此,作者认为语言教师、教学大纲规划者和课程组织者需要更多地关注作为话语的语言。
