A Study On The Textual Function

The previous studies of "bei (被)" construction is often limited to static and isolated sentence level, this article puts it into text and investigates its text function.The article is divided into four chapters in addition to introduction and conclusion.The introduction part briefly introduces the reason and significance of choosing the topic,reviews the research status of related topics,determines the object and scope of research,and points out the research methods and data sources.The conclusion part summarizes the results of this research.Chapter one researches the text function of subject in "bei (被)" construction.Study shows that the the occurrence frequency of different forms of "bei (被)" construction subject is:noun form>zero form>pronoun form.From the perspective of grammatical form, context contacts of different "bei (被)" construction subject from strong to weak is: zero form>pronoun form> noun form;Textual cohesion from strong to weak is: noun form>pronoun form>zero form.From the textual perspective,context contacts of different "bei (被)" construction subject from strong to weak is:the narrative text>the dialogue text>the explanation text>the review text;Textual cohesion from strong to weak is:the dialogue text>the explanation text>the narrative text>the review text.Chapter two researches the text function of object in "bei (被)" construction.Study shows that the the occurrence frequency of different forms of "bei" construction object is:zero form>noun form>pronoun form.From the perspective of grammatical form, context contacts of different "bei (被)" construction object from strong to weak is:pronoun form>noun form>zero form;Textual cohesion from strong to weak is:zero form>noun form>pronoun form.From the textual perspective,context contacts of different "bei (被)" construction object from strong to weak is:the narrative text>the dialogue text>the review text>the explanation text;Textual cohesion from strong to weak is:the explanation text>the dialogue text>the narrative text>the review text.Chapter three researches the text function of the predicate verb in "bei (被)" construction.In terms of the predicate verb syllable number,the double syllable verb is the most common,the second is monosyllabic verbs,the third is polysyllabic verbs or verb phrases.In terms of the components after predicate verb,their occurrence frequency from high to low is:bare verb>verb+complement>verb+object> verb+other components.In addition,predicate verb can have semantic relation with the context,but the relation is weak and mainly concentrates on predicate and whole sentence in the context.Chapter four researches the text function of "bei (被)" sub structures.This chapter divides "bei (被)" construction into15sub structures.It also explains the reason why "bei (被)" sub structures are suitable for different types of text from the view of pragmatic style of practical text as well as the characteristics of "bei (被)" construction itself.Besides, it analyses the semantic relation between "bei (被)" sub structures and context according to the position of "bei (被)" sub structures in text.
