摘要
英语课堂教学需要很多语言交流活动,即课堂言语互动。课堂教学的言语互动主要体现在师生言语互动上,而这种言语互动又往往通过问与答的形式来完成。本论文在运用话语分析的相关理论对课堂问答话语进行静态研究的同时,重点运用语用学的主要理论,诸如言语行为、语用前提、合作原则、礼貌原则等,对英语作为外语的课堂问答话语进行了动态研究。
     语用学研究的是特定语境中的特定话语。在外语课堂教学这一具体语境中,教师的话语角色与他们的社会角色既相一致又相矛盾,这种矛盾统一在问答话语中得到充分的体现。一方面教师通过提问、反馈控制课堂话语和话轮;另一方面教师采用很多礼貌言语策略,鼓励学生参与课堂互动。在对课堂问答话语的理解与阐述上,英语作为外语的教学语境起着至关重要的作用。言语行为理论为课堂问答话语实施不同功能提供了理论依据。提问可以使言成功有所为,即通过说出(言内行为)“提问”(次要言外行为)这一言语,间接发出指令(主要言外行为),使听话人按照指令行事(提问的言后行为);“回答”(言内行为),如解释、造句、朗读等(言外行为),同样是按照提问的间接指令在以言行事,满足提问不同的语用前提,达到提问以言致效的结果。在课堂回答话语中,师生均有违背合作原则的言语。教师违反数量准则,提供比问题所要求更详尽的话语是在利用回答增加言语输入;学生对数量准则、质量准则、关联准则或方式准则的违反,源于语言知识或技能的欠缺。在礼貌原则方面,师生也有许多与社会角色相脱离、与礼貌原则相悖的言语现象。这种对礼貌原则的违反,在课堂教学语境下有助于完成教学任务。
     在讨论了课堂提问的八种形式、五种功能和回答的三种类型后,我们认为受课堂语境制约,学生作出的非期待回答、零回答与期待回答一样都对教学具有反馈意义。课堂问答话语除了在交流信息、维持人际关系上互相配合外,还在实施启发、检查、操练等教育功能和求知、解惑等探索功能方面相互作用。本研究根据真实、自然的课堂语料,总结了六种课堂问-答话语结构,并分别对启始、回应、反馈话目进行了考察,认为IRF是课堂问-答话语的基本结构,其余四种(除IR结构外)结构是IRF结构的扩展结构。
     本研究综合运用了话语分析和语用学两门学科的相关理论,采用定性分析的方法,以两种课型课堂教学语料为素材,对课堂问答话语进行了从静态到动态的实证研究,揭示了EFL教学中问与答言语互动的真实情况。论文从教师的权威性与学生的自主性,提高学生话语输出的质量与数量,反馈话目对学生学习动机和言语准确性的作用,以及培养学生语用能力四个方面讨论了问答话语互动对EFL教学的指导作用。这些结合英语教学实际的建议性意见将会对我国的英语教学有很大的指导意义。
EFL teaching comprises many kinds of classroom interactions. In classroom teaching, interaction usually takes place between the teacher and the students through question-answer discourse. The present study approaches the question-answer discourse from two perspectives: a static perspective by using discourse analysis and a dynamic perspective by applying the pragmatic theories, such as speech act theory, pragmatic presupposition, cooperative principle and politeness principle.
     Pragmatics studies the utterance in context. In the context of EFL classroom teaching, teacher’s discourse role is identical to his or her social role in that the teacher keeps the discourse and turn allocation under control. But sometimes, it is different from his or her social role in that the teacher uses more polite and indirect directives than students in language teaching. It is the purpose and the context of EFL teaching that determine the teacher’s discourse strategies, and play an important role in the understanding and interpretation of the speech acts of question and answer. In the performance of an indirect directive, the locutionary act (the utterance), the secondary illocutionary act (asking a question), the primary illocutionary act (directive) and the perlocutionary act (the performance of the intended action by the hearer) are fulfilled via a single question. In responding, the speaker performs a locutionary act (the utterance), an illocutionary act, (complying with the teacher’s directive) and a perlocutionary act (reading, paraphrasing, or making a sentence, etc.). In his or her speech act of answering, the teacher may flout the quantity maxim by providing more information than required because he or she takes answering questions as a way to increase the student’s linguistic input. Sometimes, the students disobey the maxim of quantity, quality, relation or manner because of inadequate knowledge or skills in English. There are some utterances violating the politeness principle yet they are acceptable in the classroom and helpful to the fulfillment of the teaching tasks.
     After discussing eight forms and five functions of questions and three categories of answers, we hold that students’dispreferred and zero second pair parts have reflective functions to teaching, as the preferred ones do. The classroom question and answer discourse serves the instructive and exploratory functions, in addition to the communicative and interpersonal functions. The present study summarizes six kinds of question-answer structures and examines the moves of initiation, response and feedback. It draws the conclusion that IRF is the skeleton structure and the others (except IR) are its extensions.
     By combining the major theories of discourse analysis and pragmatics, this study makes an empirical research into the EFL classroom question-answer discourse, on the basis of naturally occurring first-hand data. It touches upon some major issues in actual teaching and reveals some important implications for EFL teaching. The balance between teacher’s authority and student’s autonomy, the increase of student’s talk in quantity and quality, the strategies to strengthen student’s motivation in learning English as well as the suggestions for the development of students’pragmatic competence, on the basis of their linguistic, interactional and communicative competences, will all benefit the fulfillment of the ultimate purpose of EFL teaching in China.
