Contrastive Study of Chinese and Western Cultures from the Perspective ofDocumentaries themed in "China'sDevelopment"Wang WeiqianA Thesis Submitted asa Partial Fulfillment for the Degree ofB.A. in EnglishCollege of Foreign LanguagesHebei Normal University of Science and TechnologyMay 19th, 2016摘要改革开放以来,中国经济的突飞猛进,一路高歌吸引了世界的眼光。
"中国题材"的纪录片成为世界各国感兴趣的主题。
中国和外国都各自推出了记录中国近些年发展的纪录片。
目前国内外对纪录片的研究,几乎都限于纪录片的理论研究与创作研究,而研究中西纪录片展现的文化差异非常少见。
本文从叙事方法、叙事关注点、叙述者口吻表现出的差异性入手,对比中西方“中国发展”题材纪录片以探究差异的文化渊源。
通过对比发现: 西方“中国发展”题材纪录片叙事方法角度更广泛;叙事更关注于个体情况;叙事口吻平等化。
主要原因在于中西方文化价值观的差异。
中国农耕文化基础上的集中制导致中国人思想具有一元性特征,儒家思想使国人更追求集体主义价值取向。
相反,西方文化属于多元文化,受古希腊文明和两次思想解放运动深刻影响的西方个人主义则根植于西方人头脑中,他们更关注个人思想,注重个人独立。
关键词:中国发展;纪录片;文化差异AbstractSince the reform and opening up, the economy in China develops so quickly that it draws the eyes of the world. And documentaries themed in China have become very popular. China and the West both have launched the documentaries which narrate and elaborate the development of China because of the great achievement China made recent years .At present, domestic and foreign researches on documentary are almost about the theory of documentary and creation research while the contrastive studies of the Western and Chinese cultures from the perspective of documentary are relatively rare. This thesis intends to compare the western documentaries themed in "China's Development" to Chinese ones to analyze the culture diversity between the West and China from the aspect of narrative method, narrative focus and narrative tone. Based on contrastive study, it can be found that the western ones are more diverse in narrative method; they stress individualism and their narrative tones are equality-based while that of Chinese are authority-based. That can be accounted for the differences of Chinese and Western cultures. Chinese centralism based on the farming culture leads to monism in Chinese mind, and due to ancient clan and Confucianism, people pursue collectivism. On the contrary, the Western culture is characterized by multiculturalism, and individualism influenced by the ancient Greece thoughts and two ideological liberation movements is deeply rooted in westerners' minds. They attach importance to personal ideas and individual's independence.Key words:China's development; documentary; culture differenceTable of ContentsAbstract in Chinese (i)Abstract in English (ii)I Introduction (1)1.1 Statement of the problem (1)1.2 Significance of the study (1)1.3 Outline of the thesis (2)II Literature Review (3)2.1 Researches abroad (3)2.1.1 Definition of culture (3)2.1.2 Studies of cultural values (3)2.2 Researches in China (4)2.2.1 The studies of Chinese and Western cultures (4)2.2.2 Studies of documentary from the perspective of culture (5)III Contrastive Study of Chinese and Western Documentaries (7)3.1 Narrative method (7)3.1.1 Mono-angle (7)3.1.2 Multi-angle (8)3.2 Narrative focus (9)3.2.1 Social group (9)3.2.2 Personal situation (9)3.3 Narrative tone (10)3.3.1 Authority-based (10)3.3.2 Equality-based (11)IV Cultural Analysis of Chinese and Western Documentaries (12)4.1 Monocuturalism/ multiculturalism (12)4.1.1 Monoculturalism (12)4.1.2 Multiculturalism (13)4.2Collectivism/ Individualism (13)4.2.1 Collectivism (14)4.2.2 Individualism (14)V Conclusion (16)Bibliography (18)Acknowledgements (19)Chapter One Introduction1.1 Statement of the problemDocumentary is not only a kind of television art form which records the rich and splendid culture, but also regarded as a part of human culture. Scholars have made a lot of contributions to the researches on documentary, and promoted the further prosperity of the documentary during the process of its naissance, development and evolution. However, the researches on the influence of cultural backgrounds and the national culture on the documentary are not sufficient, and even less concerning the contractive study of the Western and Chinese documentary culture.Nowadays, with the rapid development of economy, China stands in the eyes of the world with the image of a giant, and a number of documentaries that themed in China's development are made. For the differences of the values and diverse culture patterns, there are great differences between Western and Chinese documentaries. That provides the question for this thesis: What are the distinctive culture differences from the perspective of Western and Chinese documentaries? The thesis takes two Chinese documentaries and two Western documentaries as examples to explore the cultural differences in aspects of narrative method, narrative focus and narrative tone.1.2 Significance of the studyThe contrast between Chinese and Western culture has always been the problems for scholars to study, while it is original to explore the contrast from the angel of the documentary. Chinese mainstream media records and praises every aspect of the development in contemporary China. Meanwhile the West also shows an increasingly powerful China from its own perspective. And viewers can know the image of China in eyes of the Westerns, and have a preliminary understanding of the influence brought by cultural values on documentary. They can acquire a better understanding of differences Chinese and Western culture.1.3 Outline of the thesisThis thesis intends to study the Western and Chinese documentary from the perspective of cultural values. The whole passage can be divided in to five parts: The first chapter is the introduction, which involves the statement of the problem, the significance of the study and the outline of the thesis.In chapter two, it is the literature review which elaborates the studies on the value orientations, the contrastive researches on Western and Chinese culture and values and some cultural studies on documentary.Chapter three is to study the differences of Chinese and Western documentaries themed in "China Development" from the perspective of narrative method, narrative focus and narrative tone.In the fourth chapter, the author explores the cultural reasons of Chinese and Western documentaries.The fifth chapter is the conclusion of the whole thesis, which involves the main findings and some questions requiring further studies.Chapter Two Literature ReviewThis chapter gives a general overview of the studies of Western and Chinese cultures and documentaries. It begins with western scholars' studies of culture. Then, it shows Chinese scholars' studies of the differences between Western and Chinese culture patterns and some cultural studies on the documentary.2.1 Researches abroadThe connotation and function of culture is the focus of culture studies. And this is a proposition in the face of all the comparative cultural studies. What is more, for Chinese and Western scholars, value dimensions are used to measure the differences when comparing the Western and Chinese cultures.2.1.1 Definition of cultureEdward. B. Taylor, Britain's famous anthropologist, is the first scholar to summarize and epitome the cultural phenomena from the angle of anthropology. In his Primitive Culture, he (1871) defines culture is "that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society"(qtd in Xu, 2009:17). Taylor's definition of culture is of great significance in the academic field, which opens up a broader field of vision for the study of culture.2.1.2 Studies of cultural valuesValues are closely related to culture. Therefore, unique values and orientations can be explored from different cultures. The study of values began in 1930s. So far, the research on the values of foreign scholars has been very rich. One classification of cultural patterns which has been very influential, is that of Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck's.Kluckhohn and Strodbeck singled out five values orientation from different cultures: Human Nature (people are regarded as basically good, evil, or mixed); Relationship to Nature (the relationship can be classified into three kind that humans over nature, nature over human, or harmony with nature); Sense of Time(primary value placed on past/tradition, present/enjoyment, or future/posterity/delayed gratification); Activity (being, becoming/inner development, or doing/striving/industriousness); and Social Relationships (hierarchical, collateral/collective-egalitarian, or individualistic) (Kluckhohn & Strodtbeck, 1961). In Annals of Tourism Research, Leah Watkins & Juergen Gnoth (2011) presents explanation about the five values orientations: "Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck's five cultural assumptions together constitute a framework for understanding world-views. A world-view is a culture's orientation towards humanity, nature, the universe, life, death, and other philosophical issues that influence how we see the World."(p.1293).When comparing Chinese and western value orientations, it is generally considered that "the traditional Western belief about Social Relationship is each person is seen as autonomous and separate" and "Members of individualist cultures value self-reliance" (Davis, 2006:191-192).2.2 Researches in ChinaMany Chinese scholars trend to directly apply the Kluckhohn and Strodbeck's Social Relationship value orientations to cross-cultural studies. Some studies investigate the diverse values in the contrast of Chinese and Western cultures. People who study the documentary gradually shift their attention from pure history and creation skills to the cultural elements contained in documentaries.2.2.1 The studies of Chinese and Western culturesAccording to Professor Xu Xingyan, on the cultural form, Chinese culture is unified while western culture is diversified. China has been a strong independent agricultural nation from ancient times. Although there was nomadic culture at the same times, however, "It is only one side of the Chinese culture which can not change the basic nature of the Chinese culture based on farming". And ancient authoritarian rule was based on this kind of economy. Under the kind of economy and the ancient despotism, the unity of ideology is deeply rooted in the minds of people (Xu, 2009: 36-37).The western culture origins from ancient Greek and Roman culture, concentrated in the Mediterranean. And the territories of them are composed ofmany isolated islands. Agriculture in the islands is not as developed as the East River Basin, because of the lack of food, people need to buy from the coast of Egypt and the Black Sea, so the western commercial civilization developed. And the non slavery democratic politics was formed under this geographical conditions (ibid, :40) .According to Zhu Zhixian (1989) in Psychology Dictionary, values is defined as logic, science, art, moral, aesthetic, religious principles, beliefs and standard which promote and guide a person to take decisions and actions, and the core of a personal ideology (qtd. in Du, 2009:2). Professor Xu compares different concepts about human between Chinese and western cultures: Chinese culture adds importance to the social values of people and regards human as a member of a group. Whereas, the wills and value of the individual are emphasized in western culture. Jia Yuxin compares Chinese and Western values from the perspective of intercultural communication: "The unity of heaven and man is bound to lead to the group orientation as Dividedness Between Man and Nature definitely results in the orientation of individualism" (Jia, 1997:61)2.2.2 Studies of documentary from the perspective of cultureSome scholars such as Hou Hong (2006) and Zhu Jinghe (2002) study the production or content of documentary. Differing from them, Zhang Hongjun (2006) discusses the documentary in point of culture. As a special cultural phenomenon, the image recording contains the material level, theoretical system and spiritual core. People determine their own pursuit, faith, and ideals with certain values, and judge their own behaviors with these values to determine their relationship with the world. So value orientation is an important standard to explore the culture of documentary.The documentary, which is dominated by the official consciousness and elite consciousness, is still a major part of China's image recording. And Zhang (2006) tries to give the cultural explanation to that phenomenon: The elite and privileged person are valued, whereas the commonage and the populace are not put stress on because of the sense of hierarchy rooted in patriarchal clan system of traditional society, which has influenced Chinese society for a long time. What is more, the authoritarian nature of the social structure in ancient China brought about the political paradigm of Chinese culture. The elite and the privilege awareness of traditional consciousness affect mentality of Chinese butalso the characteristics of the Chinese documentary (p. 93). As for the implication of kindheartedness to Chinese documentary, the author regards humanism as the basic spirit of Chinese culture. But differing from Western humanism which emphasizes the individuals, Chinese humanism "To put people in the state of harmony between man and nature... and to attach importance to the spiritual world of people" (ibid.:102)Chapter Three Contrastive Study of Chinese and WesternDocumentariesThis chapter chooses two Chinese documentaries The Great Course and The Road to Revival and two Western documentaries China, A New Super Power and China on Four Wheels as the research subjects to study the differences of Western and Chinese documentaries from the points of narrative method, narrative focus and narrative tone.3.1 Narrative methodThe Chinese documentaries promote the image of China by displaying China's achievements, taking a sense of social responsibility and promotion of the theme as the main guiding ideology. Because of the impact of this concept, the Chinese documentaries which the thesis studies record the theme from a unitary perspective. On the contrary, the western documentaries themed in "China's development" are relatively concerned about more extensive perspectives and pay more specific attention to the content, so diverse ideas can be seen in the documentaries.3.1.1 Mono-angleThe Chinese documentaries themed in "China's development" are in keynote of praise. As national spokespeople, they usually use the magnificent frame, exciting events in China and infectious music to show the hardships of the development process and the splendid state of contemporary China from the view of the country. The main theme documentaries usually bear the responsibility of publicizing the achievement of the government to encourage people to contribute to the country. For example, The Great Course is connected with a voiceover commentary spoken by one person and several interviews, showing few different ideas from common people. It introduces how the whole country took actions when China encountered SARS epidemic: "Facing the sudden outbreak of SARS, under leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council, the whole Party and the people unite as one, win the fight against SARS." That commentary intends to showfirm and great confidence of the whole country to fight with the disease. But it does not dig out from more angles such as doctors' efforts or people's recovery. Actually, in most part of the two documentaries, general state of national development is introduced, showing the theme: "China's prosperity".3.1.2 Multi-angleThe western documentaries, differing from the Chinese ones, choose richer angle of views and themes. With a similar theme, voiceover and site soundbite intersperses with each other in the documentary China: A New Super Power.In addition to the collection of literature, this German documentary also interviews Chinese people from all walks of life, asking economists, military experts, political commentators, sociologists, writers, journalists, artists, engineers, businessmen and workers and so on about some of the issues in China's development. It affirms China's rapid economic growth: "China has become a recognized power" and "being the second largest economy in the world". Meanwhile, it points out some problems in the development: The modernization of rural area construction lags behind the city. And the protection of rights and interests of migrant workers are still needed to improved, and Guo Yuhua, a socialist, expresses her worries about this phenomenon in the documentary.The documentary also points out that China has made a huge effort to enhance education and scientific research: "China is becoming one of the world's leading think-tank step by step. Though education level is improved, the children of migrant workers do not enjoy equal right to receive education." In summary, the Western documentaries not only explain the development from the aspect of economy, but also from aspects of politics, military, education, science and technology and so on. What's more, both documentaries --- China,A New Super Power and China on Four Wheels choose to interview many Chinese to realize the sate of China and describe the development with diverse angles to show the objectivity. In this way, the subject is enriched with plentiful materials, so the objectivity and diversity of perspectives increase. Indeed, there are some unjust comments and prejudice in the whole video, but they are not discussed in this thesis.3.2 Narrative focusThe two Chinese documentaries are also distinct from the western one in terms of the narrative focus. The Chinese ones trends to show the concern to the whole society while the Western ones tend to focus on personal situation. "Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings" according to Wiki, and generally, it emphasizes people's dignity, encourages liberal views and advocates the equality. Blue ocean civilization gives birth to the Western independence, equality, individual spirit, while the farming civilization has made the Chinese people form a collective ideology of unity and struggle.3.2.1 Social groupIn terms of value orientation, China, as an eastern country, belongs to collectivism which pays attention to the interests of the group and individual social value. Clan, country, the thought of collectivism affects the creation of documentary in the country. In terms of the theme of "China's development", the Chinese documentaries stress on social responsibility, the sense of belonging to the organization and the spirit of collectivism. There are only a few interviews of the common people in the documentaries. And when one is interviewed, he is not the representative of himself but the spokesman of his group. Taking an example, when talking about developing rural area, a farmer Hua Fangping in Pinghu Village being interviewed in The Great Course said: "Now the urban and rural areas are integrating, I think we live in the same level as citizens, and we have been able to catch up with them". What he said is not only about the life of himself, but also represents the entire villager of Pinghu. And it even indicates that many rural areas are showing a new look. This is a typical "group" value: To show a group through the individuals.3.2.2 Personal situationWestern directors focus on the personal liberal spirit, emphasizing the ideas of the individuals. In the Western documentaries, people from all walks of life are interviewed, and each is the representative of himself. In the British documentary China on Four Wheels,the situation after the earthquake in Sichuan is recorded. It focuses on the living situation and emotional state of Mrs. Li andher students after the earthquake in Wenchuan, paying attention to the change of their feelings to show their personal situations. There is neither evaluation of post disaster reconstruction nor the life state of the whole victims after Wenchuan earthquake. China, A New Super Power comprises a series of interviews with more than 20 Chinese people. It is the personal ideas but not the mass views that occupy an important position. These examples show the narrative focus of the Western documentaries trend to single person instead of a group.3.3 Narrative toneThe Chinese documentaries recording the development are also distinct from the western ones in terms of tone of the narrator. The Chinese narrator is in an authoritative tone while the Western one is based on equality.3.3.1 Authority-basedIt is easy to find out that when narrating the serious theme of the development of contemporary China, the Chinese narrators maintain an official, authoritative image in the documentary. And the documentary publicizes its mainstream ideology and manages to educate the audience. There is part of the reason that documentary is influenced by a concept named "Visual Politics" which derives from the Soviet Union. Besides, Chinese collectivism which attaches importance to authority, can also account for the authority-based tone. On study of the two Chinese documentaries The Road to Revival and The Great Course, the producers describe the development of China with a convincing and earnest attitude in an authoritative tone, especially in The Great Course. When it introduces the accomplishments of China's aerospace industry, the narrator says: "‘Shenzhou' and ‘Chang E' symbolize the new state of the Chinese nation on the way to the revival; It shows the world that the independent innovation is the soul of the national progress in a convincing way; Science and technology progress is the powerful engine to promote the country to take off." This truth is told to the audience directly by the narrator rather than found by the audience. Therefore, the audience is placed in the position of listeners. Based on the tone of authority, both documentaries manage to mould their audience with the patriotism feelings and social responsibility.3.3.2 Equality-basedAudience and narrator usually have equal status in western documentaries. The Western documentary producers usually regard themselves as participants in the event during the process of shooting. They are more like explorers and discoverers, intending to explore the secrets and let the life speak itself naturally and sincerely. So western documentaries are closer to audience and appeal to them to show their respect for the viewers. The China on Four Wheels is a typical western documentary which is very different from the Chinese one. In the lens of the documentary, the narrators do not take an official view to observe China. Justin and Anita, the presenters, drive themselves throughout China in order to experience the great changes China has made. Anita walks along the eastern part of China to observe the prosperous side of China while Justin walks along the western to experience the poor side. They attempt to talk with native people to realize the current situation of their lives. Justin goes around ancient Feng Huang Town to capture what Miao, a minority nationality's life is like. In his lens, Feng Huang has been a tourist resort where many tourists flood in for its characteristic culture. According to his native tour guide, tourism improves Miao People's lives' level here: "We are much better now". But he wonders what life is like in remote neither interviews any officials nor uses official literature but just record what they see and experience. In this way, the documentary satisfies the audience's curiosity with an equality-based tone. And the audience can see a real China through the recorders' eyes.Chapter Four Cultural Analysis of Chinese and WesternDocumentariesIn this chapter, the author analyzes the culture origins that lead to the differences of the Chinese and Western documentaries themed in "China's Development".4.1 Monocuturalism/ multiculturalismChina culture is unified, while western culture is diversified (Xu, 2009). Monoculturalism is the practice of actively preserving a national culture via the exclusion of external influences while Multiculturalism describes the existence, acceptance, or promotion of multiple cultural traditions within a single jurisdiction according to Wiki. These two different forms of culture lead to different narrative methods.4.1.1 MonoculturalismChinese civilization was originated from the Yongzi River and Huanghe River. In the vast land, "the river crisscross, the climate is damp and warm, the product is abundant..." (Xu, 2009:34). It provides great soil to develop agriculture which dominated the ancient Chinese economy. What is more, there is extensive desert in the northern frontier, high mountain chains and forest in the southwest being the obstruction which made it difficult to contact with other countries in ancient time. What is more, the ancient rulers advocated physiocracy, which led to the poor exchanges between our country and other countries. Therefore, traditional culture develops along the direction of its own, having a style of its own. China is basically in a unified and centralized state since it entered the civilized society, and the period was very short when there was a split. Under the despotism, the thinking "The land belongs to the king, people all over the word are the king's servants" rooted in people's minds and the Confucianism which advocated the authority dominated people's thought. Generally speaking, monoculturalism is formed because of the monism of economy, politics and thinking in ancient China. So in the Chinese documentaries, the current development is introduced from a general view,introducing the prosperous or positive aspects. As is recorded in Road to the Revival,the commentary makes a general introduction to the fight with the SARS without details from other angles. Both Chinese documentaries publicize one theme: China's power and prosperity.4.1.2 MulticulturalismWestern civilization is different from Chinese civilization. Xu says: "ship of the Western culture was born in the blue sea." The main representative of Western civilization, Roman and Greece are located in Mediterranean, and their territories were dotted with Islands. The narrow land, poor soil and the dry and hot climate in the summer form the environment which is not suitable for growing grain, so the food production are not even self-sufficient. Some densely populated cities such as Athens, purchased grain from the Black Sea coast and Egypt. Thus, business culture was developed in the West. Due to the geographical and economic features of the place, the West formed democracy which was applied to citizens. Owing to the commercial foundation and democratic political conditions, cultural diversity came into being. The world is divided, showing plural patterns to the islands residents. The influence of the multiculturalism can be found in the Western documentaries: They collect the views of Chinese people from all walks of life in order to show a current situation of China. They manage to record China's development from richer angles: economy, politics and so on. It is no doubt that the massive materials and the various perspectives are influenced by the cultural diversity in the West.4.2Collectivism/ IndividualismDocumentary, as a kind of image culture, is bound to imply some values. Kluckhohn (1961) defined value as: "A conception, explicit or implicit, distinctive of an individual or characteristic of a group, of the desirable which influences the selection from available modes, means and ends of action. People's attitudes are based on the relatively few, stable values they hold". Kluchohn and Stodtbeck advanced five values orientations. In aspect of social relationship, they classify it into three types: Hierarchy, Group and Individual. "Generally speaking, the most apparent difference between Western and Eastern。

下文是店铺为大家整理的关于大专商务英语论文优秀范文的内容,欢迎大家阅读参考!大专商务英语论文优秀范文篇1浅谈商务英语在大学公共英语教学中的推广【摘要】本文以目前我国大学公共英语教学现状为背景,从市场需求、教学目的、教学内容、教学模式和考核方式等方面探讨了在大学公共英语教学中推广商务英语的可行性和重要性。
【关键词】商务英语大学公共英语教学《课程要求》大学英语教学是高等教育的一个有机组成部分,大学英语课程是大学生必修的一门基础课程。
我国教育部高等教育司2007年颁布的《大学英语课程教学要求》(以下简称《课程要求》)规定:大学英语的教学目标是培养学生的英语综合应用能力,特别是听、说能力,使他们在今后工作和社会交往中能用英语有效地进行口头和书面的信息交流,同时增强其自主学习能力,提高综合文化修养,以适应我国社会发展和国际交流的需要。
然而,我国大学公共英语教学的现状难以在真正意义上实现教学大纲中这一理想目标。
第一,目前的大学英语教学仍然是以传统的教学模式来教授传统的普通用途英语为主,使用的教材也多属于普通用途的英语教学用书,较少涉及与实际工作有关的应用性语言,无法满足学生在今后工作和社会交往中的交流需求。
第二,绝大多数教材的内容仍停留在关注语言点和西方文化介绍的层面,忽略了思辨能力的训练和培养,而这一点正是我国大学生所欠缺的。
思辨能力的严重缺乏导致大学生毕业后在面临实际工作时难以胜任。
第三,大学英语四、六级考试将学生置于应试教育的紧箍咒下,在无形中扭曲了学生学习英语的真正目的,同时也束缚了大学英语教师教育理念的创新,让学生在沉闷的课堂气氛中逐渐失去对英语学习的兴趣。
即使通过了四、六级,一纸证书也无法证明持有者已具备了必要的英语交际能力,而真实情况是,大多数学生学到的仍然是“哑巴英语和聋子英语”,根本无法满足职业市场的各种需求,这显然与《课程要求》的宗旨背道而驰,也是大学公共英语教学备受争议的根本原因。
商务英语大专毕业商务英语大专毕业篇1浅谈地区商务英语教学摘要根据商务英语特点和时代要求,在分析了民族地区商务英语培训中存在的问题基础上提出了民族地区商务英语培训的体系。
关键词民族地区商务英语培训模式1商务英语的内涵商务英语是世界围的大市场和的产物。
随着全球经济,络通讯和多技术的使用,国际商务活动的畴不断扩大,商务英语的内涵也在不断的扩升级.对于非英语国家而言,商务英语包含两大方面:语言媒介和学科构成。
语言媒介自然是国际通用外语英语;学科构成则是以国际商务为核心的国际商务学科。
商务英语就其语言本质而言,就是在商务领域内经常使用的反映这一领域专业活动内容的语词汇、句型、体等的有机总和,它属于特殊用途英语(Englishforspecificpurse简称ESP)。
商务英语的全称应是Englishforbusinessandeconomics(EBE)。
要弄清楚商务英语的概念,就要对ESP的概念有一个清晰的了解。
ESP的最初命名者之一TomHutchinson认为:ESP不是英语的一种特殊形式;ESP的学习内容虽可与普通英语有所不同,但其学习过程应与普通英语一致;ESP 只是语言教学的一种视角,其内容与方法取决于学习者的目的。
由此我们可以对商务英语的概念有一个清楚地了解。
商务英语顾名思义,包含着语言(英语)与业务(商务)两个方面.商务指使用英语的商务工作人员所从事的商务活动和商务环节的总称,是传播的内容;英语是传播的媒介;商务与英语不应是简单相加的关系,而应是有机融合.当然,商务英语的语言基础是建立在普通英语的基础之上,从整体上说,商务英语的知识包括英语、语法、词汇、语篇和跨化知识以及商务有关的国际货物贸易、服务贸易、技术贸易、国际合作和一个可交易手段,即以In?鄄ternet为支持的络通讯和多技术手段。
商务英语的技能包括听、说、读、写等语言交际技能,对于学生说,还应包括英、汉互译技能。
2民族地区商务英语培训中存在的问题商务知识和英语知识被视为是商务英语的两大主要内容,而在民族地区商务英语培训方面还没有科学地处理两者关系的切实可行的培训体系。

大专商务英语类论文优秀范文商务英语作为国际商务活动中所使用的交流性语言工具,一般包含了商务交际能力、商务背景知识、商务背景中所使用的语言。
下文是店铺为大家整理的关于大专商务英语类论文优秀范文的内容,欢迎大家阅读参考!大专商务英语类论文优秀范文篇1浅析商务英语特点[摘要]商务英语是外贸人员同世界各地开展进出口贸易时用于洽谈交易、联系业务的一种应用语言。
由于英汉两种截然不同语言的差异及其特定的社会功能和题材内容决定了商务英语自身与众不同的写作特点。
本文拟从跨文化交际学的角度对商务英语的特点作一番探析,从而事倍功半地达到成功交际的目的。
[关键词]商务英语跨文化交际合作原则礼貌原则关联原则商务英语是英语语言体系中的一个分支,是为国际商务活动这一特定的专业学科服务的专门用途英语。
它基于英语的基本语法、句法结构和词汇,但又具有其独特的语言现象和表现内容。
它既有英语语言的共同特征,又有其个性特征。
在国际贸易竞争日益激烈的今天,商务英语的运用越来越广泛。
商务英语不以语言的艺术美为其追求的目标,而是讲求逻辑上的清晰和条理性、思维上的准确严密以及结构上的严谨性。
本文拟从跨文化交际学的角度出发,试用跨文化交际学的三大原则――合作原则、礼貌原则以及关联原则来讨论商务英语的特点。
一、跨文化交际学美国语言学家格赖斯(H.P.GRICE)1967指出:人们的文交际总是合作的,谈话双方都怀着一个共同的愿望“双方话语都能互相理解互相配合”,因此人们在言语交际中都遵守着某些合作的原则,以求实现这个愿望。
格赖斯的合作原则(COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLE)包括以下四个范畴:量的准则(QUANTITYMAXIM),即所提供的住处满足并且不应超出所需要的信息;质的准则(QUALITYMAXIM),即努力使你说的是真实的,不要说自知是虚假的话,不要说缺乏足够证据的话;关系准则(REVELANTMAXIM),即所说的话要有关联;方式准则(MANNER MAXIM),即表达要简洁,有条性,清楚明白,避免晦涩,避免歧义。
大专英语毕业论文浅议目前语教学现状及制约因素中国入世为中国经济带来巨大契机, 也对英语人才尤其是对懂商务知识的英语人才提出了更高要求。
针对这一现象, 许多学校都在思考调整人才培养方案。
作为高职院校的商务英语教学, 我们旨在培养具有一定的英语听说读写译能力, 又具有国际商务贸易知识的复合型人才, 这也对我们的商务英语教学提出了更高的要求。
一、商务英语教学现状目前, 虽然许多学校都在积极改革教学模式, 努力跟上时代及人才培养目标要求, 但是在教学实践过程中仍然存在许多的不足:“填鸭式”、“一言堂”等传统的教学模式仍然存在; 在教材及教学方法的选定上往往不能结合学生实际, 忽视高职高专学生的自身特点; 过于生硬地照搬商务加英语的模式教学, 过于注重书本本身涉及的知识, 忽视对学生潜在商务文化意识的培养。
这些教学模式及方法往往导致较差的教学效果, 不利于培养合格乃至优秀的高职高专商务英语人才。
二、高职高专商务英语教学的制约因素1. 学生因素大部分高职高专学生的英语基础相对都比较薄弱, 本身对于英语技能的学习就比较吃力, 再加上商务贸易知识使得课程的专业化程度加深, 许多学生就会淡化对商务英语知识学习的兴趣, 尤其是五年制高职学生。
, 在很大程度上也取决于学生的自学及钻研, 透彻地了解商务贸易知识及相关的英语表达。
学生如果缺乏自主积极的学习态度, 又缺少实践锻炼的机会, 商务英语学习的困难也就加大。
2. 教师因素许多商务英语教师都是单纯的英语教师出身, 虽然具有较好的英语教学水平, 但是对于商务贸易知识却缺乏系统的深层次的掌握, 或者是仅仅局限于书面上的理解, 缺乏实践经验, 这也不利于我们培养出具有实践操作能力的商务英语人才。
同时,有些商务英语教师的教学方式也不能迎合时代和学生的要求,一味基于教材和大纲, 采取传统的教学方法, 缺乏灵活性和创新性, 这也不利于对学生科学的学习方法的培养。
三、对高职高专商务英语教学实践的思考为了提高商务英语教学的效率, 教师应该多思考怎样才能在有限的时间里帮助学生建立商务英语知识体系, 激发学生学习的主动性。
根据本人的教学经历, 下面将从选材, 教学法及资源使用等方面展开讨论。
1. 选材新颖, 紧跟时代, 适合高职高专学生特点在教学实践中, 我们常常会发现有的教学例子还是采用的上个世纪七八十年代的商务贸易实例。
学生往往会觉得这些案例离自己很远, 这也会影响学生的学习积极性, 所以有的教师会发现在上课过程中学生的反应和配合都不是很理想。
教师在备课过程中, 不妨有所取舍, 可以准备一些较为时髦的题材, 或者是与专业背景紧密结合的题材。
例如, 我们在讲到倾销与反倾销时, 针对我院纺织服装的专业背景, 我们可以选择中国2021 年纺织品贸易遭受贸易救济措施的相关案例, 一方面可以通过发生在身边的事件来引起学生的共鸣, 和学生共同关注我国纺织行业所面临的现状, 增加学生的背景知识, 同时也可以借此来向学生阐释何为倾销、反倾销、绿色贸易壁垒、贸易救济措施等相关知识, 达到教学目的。
中国入世为中国带来了许多新兴的行业, 如互联网贸易 internet business , 学生对于这一方面的关注比较多, 了解也比较全面, 如blog, e- book 等词汇也是学生中所流行的, 教师可以利用这一点开展开课堂教学, 丰富教学内容, 鼓励学生发表观点, 提高语言表达能力。
在选材上, 教师不仅要考虑到选材的新颖, 还要考虑到学生的特点及培养目标。
学生将会通过商务英语来学习商务贸易知识, 所以选材的连贯性也是非常重要的。
教师可以把整个商务英语学习的内容策划成一整套商务活动, 把学习目标、学习重点纳入到商务活动中去, 这样不仅可以完成教学任务, 还能帮助学生系统的了解商务活动流程, 加深所学知识。
2. 根据教学内容使用相应的教学法, 活跃课堂教学某种程度上学生的学习态度与教师的教学方法也是密切相关的, 所以教师应该在备好教学内容的同时也要备好教学方法。
在商务英语的教学过程中, 大部分教师都会采用任务型教学法, 如案例教学法, 合作学习法及研讨式教学法等。
案例教学法特别适用在商务英语阅读的教学过程中, 学生对于单纯的概念解释很难理解, 但是如果结合案例解释就容易的多。
就如上面所提到的倾销与反倾销, 我们可以先通过一个倾销及反倾销的案件引入,通过其行为向学生解释其概念, 这样就能起到很好的效果。
然后可以根据案件中的具体内容向学生设定问题讨论: ①引起反倾销的原因; ②怎样才能避免他国的反倾销行为等, 学生讨论、比较、总结之后再回到课文, 这样就能更好的理解课文。
合作学习法可以运用在所有的商务英语教学中, 其核心就是学生之间的相互合作, 教师作为课堂的主导, 学生作为主体,教师指导学生完成相应的教学任务。
在这一环节中,学生分成小组, 根据教师所设定的任务查找资料, 相互讨论, 共同完成。
教师巡回在各小组之间必要指导, 也可以参与讨论。
学生还可以设定对话在班级展示, 教师做好评价总结。
在教师正确的引导下, 合作学习法能够给学生提供自主的学习环境, 充分发挥学生的主观能动性, 从而能调动学生的学习积极性, 增强自信心, 创造商务英语学习的环境, 这不仅能提高学生的商务英语能力, 激发学生的思维创新能力, 还能培养锻炼学生的团队合作精神。
研讨式教学法可以建立在合作学习法的基础上, 这将对学生的独立思考、合作沟通能力及语言的综合能力都提出更高要求。
学生可以就书本中所涉及到的相关知识, 运用课堂所学进行研讨, 大胆提出设想, 不断开拓思路。
如在上述案例中, 学生可以根据我国目前的纺织品贸易中所受到的新的挑战, 讨论我国的纺织品贸易前景。
教师要充分把握好课堂秩序, 学生围绕主题,积极讨论, 从而达到教学目的。
通过锻炼, 学生能够培养自己的综合能力, 为将来更快更好的融入工作打下基础。
另外, 教师在设置课堂活动时应注意活动场景的真实性, 这样能为学生创造如临其境的模拟环境, 也更有利于学生课堂活动的开展。
教师在学生的模拟中要注意不要轻易打断学生, 纠正学生, 否则将会影响学生自信心, 妨碍商务交际的正常展开。
但是作为商务英语专业的学生, 教师应要求学生了解相关的商务文化, 尤其是跨国贸易中。
所以教师在活动设置中可以有意安排不同国家之间的贸易交往, 要求学生在实际模拟中注意跨文化障碍, 并予以指导。
3. 充分利用各种资源, 确保商务英语教学顺利展开教师可以在课堂上充分利用多媒体资源,增强课堂信息量。
同时通过互联网, 教师捕捉最新与商务有关的信息, 扩展学生视野, 填补学生的一些知识盲点, 学生也更容易融入到课堂教学中。
如在与学生讨论中国入世为中国经济带来巨大契机时, 互联网产业中的创意产业越来越受到人们的关注。
何为创意产业, 创意产业又包括哪些, 创意产业在中国的前景如何等等, 我们都可以通过互联网资源向学生展示, 扩大学生知识面。
同时教师可以通过各种资源不断学习,完善自身的知识结构。
教师的有限商务知识也是影响培养商务英语人才的一个制约因素, 所以教师应该不断的与时俱进, 不断提高自我。
我们可以利用学院的各种资源, 如到图书馆、互联网等查阅相关知识, 理清知识系统, 我们也可以向其他经济贸易专业的教师请教学习, 相互讨论。
另外根据高职高专人才培养模式, 教师也应该具备相应的实践操作能力, 这样才能成为一名合格的商务英语教师。
所以教师应该充分利用学院相关政策, 下企业实习锻炼, 实际接触商务贸易知识, 了解商务贸易的实际操作, 这样在教师的授课中就能结合实际, 能更好的引导学生, 培养学生的实践操作能力。
四、结束语作为在新的国际形式下的商务英语人才培养, 高职高专的商务英语教学必须要与时代接轨, 与国际接轨, 与专业背景接轨, 不断探索新的教学方法, 形成独特的教学理念, 积极创新, 这样才能培养出有特色、高素质、符合社会需要的复合型人才。

“所谓语言幽默,即由语言的各种要素的变异使用而创造的幽默。
”“语言幽默氛围得以成功地在话语中得到动态显现,最根本源于其超常规的语言结构方式,即在辩证逻辑的制约下,突破语言学、文字学、词汇学、语法学和形式逻辑的一般规律,变格运用语言材料,造成不能按字面来理解的话语。
言语幽默之所以能够生效,关键是对语言常规用法的突破。
分析言语幽默仅从修辞角度出发是不够的,本文拟借助语用学理论,从指示语、语用预设、言语行为理论、会话含义理论、关联理论等方面对英语言语幽默予以分析。
一、指示语与英语言语幽默指示语包括人称代词、指示代词和指示副词等。
它们的指示对象要根据话语的使用时间、地点、说话人、听话人的身份、实际情景中的物体和事件决定话语的意义。
话语中的指示信息是理解话语的关键,指示语不明确,话语会令人费解甚至引起误解。
说话者在进行言语交际时,必须根据语境适当转换指示语。
当指示语应该进行转换,而说话者由于某种原因未能加以转换时,往往会制造一种由于违反常规而产生的幽默。
如:a schoolboy wanted a few more day’s holiday.he phoned to the teacher andin a voice,that,hehoped sounded like his fathers:"i regret to say that smith is ill in bed and willnot be able to return to school for three or four days.""oh,”said the teacher,"i’m sorry to hear that;who is speaking?""my father,sir."在这则幽默故事里,小男孩以爸爸的名义给老师打电话请假,但当老师问到是谁在打电话时,他没有及时进行人称指示代词的转换仍然回答“我爸爸”,幽默的效果由此产生,小男孩的计谋也因为这个指示语错误而被识破。
