A Linguistic Study Of Audit Announcement Discourse

This article mainly focuses on the audit announcements from 2018 to 2022,using the relevant theoretical knowledge of systemic functional linguistics,combined with pragmatics,sociolinguistics,and other relevant knowledge,to conduct an investigation and study of audit announcement discourse,specifically elaborating the linguistic features of audit discourse at the textual,sentence,and lexical levels.The introduction section mainly introduces the importance of this study,the research object,the source of corpus,the innovations and the research methods used in the research process,and summarizes the relevant research status.The main body is the research content of audit announcement discourse,which is divided into three chapters.Chapter One focuses on the patterns of thematic progression and cohesive devices of audit announcement discourse.In the selection of thematic progression patterns in audit announcement discourse,there are mainly five types of patterns:parallel,centralized,continuous,cross,and derivative,of which the centralized mode is the most frequently used,with the aim of providing a comprehensive and detailed account of various issues arising in the audit process,the use of various financial funds,and the audit results of various units and departments.With regard to the cohesive devices used in the audit announcement discourse,this study analyses them in terms of grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion.From the perspective of grammatical cohesion,audit announcements belong to the public language genre,and their language has to follow the principle of economy,so the cohesion means of omission and substitution are mostly used;in terms of the choice of lexical cohesion means,the three means that are used more frequently are original word reproduction,synonym reproduction and lexical collocation.Chapter Two analyzes the linguistic features of audit announcement discourse from a syntactic perspective,mainly exploring the characteristics of sentence patterns,sentence types,and sentence patterns.In terms of sentence pattern,the audit announcement text is mainly composed of complex sentences,supplemented by single sentences.In the use of single sentences,there are a certain number of subject predicate sentences and non predicate sentences,with the highest frequency of use being verb predicate sentences and nominal non subject predicate sentences;in the use of complex sentences,most of them are mainly repetitive sentences with simple structures,and the relationship between the preceding and following clauses in complex sentences is manifested as juxtaposition,succession,explanation,selection,progression,causality,purpose,and turning point.In terms of sentence types,audit announcement discourse is mainly composed of declarative and imperative sentences,with no use of interrogative and exclamatory sentences.In terms of sentence structure,the audit announcement discourse mainly consists of long sentences and active sentences.Chapter Three starts with the lexical level of audit announcement discourse,focusing on the high-frequency words and unique lexical features that appear in audit announcements.In the selection of high-frequency words,high-frequency nouns and high-frequency verbs appear most frequently.Among them,the term "problem" is used most frequently in high-frequency terms,indicating that the role of audit announcements is to describe audit matters and problems found during the audit process;The word "audit" appears the most frequently in high-frequency verbs,which is determined by the nature of audit announcements.Due to the rigor and objectivity of audit language,the use of numerals and quantifiers is the most common in audit announcements,intuitively conveying the use of various audit data and financial funds;in audit discourse,ordinal and temporal words are also frequently used.In terms of the form of vocabulary used,audit announcements,as official documents,use fixed official document programming language at the beginning,body,and end of the text.The conclusion summarizes the content of this study,explains the conclusions of this study,and points out the shortcomings of this article as well as issues that need further analysis and discussion.
