In Munro’s elaborate and even almost trivial description, most of ordinary women in her works live in the most ordinary life, but these female desiresare full of anxiety and uncertainty. Although they try to struggle and revolt in their minds, their thoughts are confused, pulled by reality and healing.Alice Munro shapes so many ordinary women’s fig ures in order to explain the indescribable meaning of life and tells her own feelings towards life.Her newest short novel Dear life shows the perception of individual living conditions, the exploration of human nature and the irresistible force when facing intricate life.The nature and the relationship between art and life exist in the themes of her works all the time. Although her stories are seemingly simple and trivial, peoplecan still inadvertently peep into the real life in miniature from these stories. After Nobel Prize for literaturein 2013 for the first time is awarded for a female short novel writer, Alice Munro gradually enjoys great prestige in the literary field at home and aboard. In western countries, most of studies about Alice Munroaremainly divided into two categories, literary criticism and the narrative studies.Ten papers published in English Fiction Periodicals-- Munro album all refer to literary criticism to analyzeAlice Munro’s works (Ventura 2010). In Magazine Narrative, most of body of the second issue revolve about the perspective of narration to spread (Lohafer 2012). Although in China domestic researches of Alice Munro are unusual, in recent years, Munrois known by more and more scholars and readers. Before Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for literature, domestic researches about her and her works are divided into three categories in terms of research’s content.Many scholars deeply study some of Munro's works from the perspective of feminism and analyze female figures in her works (Dong Shanshan 2009). Some people are fascinated by Munro's narrative techniques(Zhou Yi 2011).Others further study and pay close attention to the relation between the regional culture of Canada and Munro'screativeidentity (Tan Min, Tao Tao2012).Dear Life isAlice Munro's newest short novel, so until now very few people spend time studying this works. Toreveal complexity and nothingness of people of the town in the ordinary life, Munro often regards ordinary female characters as the protagonist and pinpointsthe inner feelings of the ordinary people as the starting point in her works. This paper is aimed to explore the nature of life,clearly reveal the emotional skeleton of Alice Munro and dissect the art of living that depicted by Alice Munroin Dear Life. F ourrepresentative women in Dear Life are selected as the main characters of the separate stories.From different stories and fates of these four women, readers can see what on earth real life is.Ⅰ.Writing Characteristics of Dear LifeA. The basic construction of Dear LifeAlice Munro’s Dear Life is composed offourteen tales. They are independent for each other.And in this brilliant new collection, Alice Munro gives a detailed description of the moment a person is always altered by a unexpected chance encounter, an action not taken, or a simple twist of fate. Her characters are flawed and fully figures: a soldier returning from war and avoiding his fiancée, a wealthy woman deciding whether to confront a blackmailer, an adulterous mother and her neglected daughter, a guilt-ridden father, a young lady abandoned by her lover. Enlightened by Munro’s acute insight, these lives draw in with their quiet depth and surprise people with unexpected turns.[1]The last four autobiographical tales are not totally imaginary but root in her real life. We can see that an astonishing suite of the last four autobiographical tales offers an unprecedented glimpse into Munro’s own childhood. Alice Munroalso regards these four tales with autobiographical nature as a simple exploration of life.Exalted by her clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling,Dear Life shows how placid, intricate, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.B.Alice Munro’s writing techniquesAlice Munro belongs to postmodernism creation style, she permutes and combines different statements and contents, or links up uncorrelated content and form in the same story. And Alice Munro does not deliberately plan and have a subtle layoutin the creation process of the content and the structure in her short stories,but with the migration and extension of the idea of narrative,she tends to modify and adjust after finishing the structure of a story. Alice Munro breaks through the tradition of creation oneness, and perfectly combines fact with imagination in her works. Her works are from life, but are not entirely reproduction of original life. The most obvious evidence is the limitation between fiction novel and the non-fiction novel is fuzzy when Munro creates the last four stories in Dear Life. She merges fact, image and feelings into one. Therefore, it is so amazing that she achieves perfectly the combination of tradition and breakthrough.Alice Munro is good at using the unique female perspective to interpret complex things, and dig out those details that has always been ignored in life. So Munro has been focusing on the psychological description of ordinary women with a lot of details to reveal their complex and intense emotions. In addition, the theme of her works does not involve too esoteric, but try to restore the most real life of ordinary women. Despite the fact that in her short novel simple language, simple structure is used, but the depth of worksis the same as novel. In this work, Dear Life, there are no twists and turns. But refer to her excellent style, simplicity and sincerity of a text have revealed out Munro’sintelligent views towards life. She is realistic rather than preaching; is the description and non inductive; is art rather than scientific, is philosophical rather than religious.[3]C.Alice Munro and short storiesShort novel is neglected, and in the marginalized position in the long-term. For decades, Alice Munro has been focusing on the creation of short novel. Nobel Prize for literature is awarded for a short novel writer for the first time, which is enough to illustrate the remarkable success of creation of Alice Munro's short novel. That Alice Munro chooses short novel as her own form of creation subverts the traditional concept that the writing level of a writer needs to be measured througha novel.[4]The creation of short novel and her Canadian and female writers' identity are closely linked. In terms of the external conditions, the creative period of Munro is in the heyday of the development of Canadian literature, and a series of literary column founded by Weaver, Godfather of Canadian literature, provides a wide platform for Munro's short novels. In the early stage of the creative process, Munro must control the length of her works because of the limitation of layout, which is main reason for Munro's first contact with short novel. On the other hand, women often struggle hard in constraint of marriage and family. The literary writing cannot be regarded for women as a stable occupation, but is only a hobby. Alice Munro is not onlya great writerbut alsoan eligible mother, wife. So before she is a famous writer, she also needs to try herbest to balance her family and creation just as ordinary women.Munro regards short novel as her own specific way of looking at and understanding this world. She said that "I am no longer interested in polishing perfect novel. I hope to write my story to convey strong life experience."[5]So in her later works, Munro regards short stories as her main genre entirely because of her personal orientation.All in all, whether in the creative language or the connotation of the expression, her short novel can be said to be very artistic and profound.Ⅱ.Inevitable Reality of LivingA. The confrontation between reality and fantasyReality and fantasy are contradictory, which is the basic principle of dialectical materialism. In real life, t he confrontations between reality and fantasy are widespread. Alice Munro inevitably keeps a watchful eye on the conflict of the reality and fantasy in one’s life.Constant switching between the reality and fantasy is considered to be the human’s awakening and indulg ing to a certain extent. Ideological contradictions usually indicates the complexity of women’s id eas. In Munro's works, women are often hovering between reality and fantasy, especially young women. In their ordinary life, they go after and even are crazy for romance, love, adventure and fantasy. They are eager to break the shackles of the spirit, but it is always difficult to really get rid of the troubles, because the troublesare always lingering in theirminds. In the first story To Reach Japan,Alice Munro just shows mixed and entangled feelings of the ordinary people when facing the dilemma between reality and fantasy. Alice Munro uses the characteristic of stream of consciousness to display ordinary women’s spirit and emotion under the ambivalent condition.The stream of consciousness itself is the collision and continuation of the emotion in the free state of mind.[2] In fact,To Reach Japan is not about drifting to Japan, and even can be said that has nothing to do with Japan, which is associated with the"stream of consciousness". Interest in your stream of consciousness maybe takes you to awareness means the ductility and extensity of human being’s consciousness are always around reality.In To Reach Japan, the young Greta has a unbroken but prosaic family. Her husband Peter is a young engineer who has the tolerant attitude of art, and she has a daughter Katie. One day Greta meets a gentle man named Harris at a writer’s party, and ha s a crush on him.Then Greta traps in fantasy about another man's love, eventually she even attempt to get rid of family moralconstraints, sending Harris a letter," Writing this letter is like putting a note in a bottle / And hoping / It will reach Japan"(Munro 14).She imagines another meeting with Harris, "Nearest thing to a poem in some time"(Munro 14).Her writing talent and inspiration has been burst out, which implies the runaway of her spirit and the infinite fantasy escaping from reality. The fact is that a poem itself is the product of fantasy. Greta expresses her delicate feelings to Harris by creating poetry with her own romantic feelings,and she has a thirst for adventure to meet her desire for passion. This is first time that Greta was eager to far away from everything in real life.Then, on the train to Toronto Greta comes across a man named Greg asa child's theatre actor anddevelops an improper relationship with him.When finally she realizes that she almost lost Katie on account of her shameful behavior and carelessness, deep fear and self-accusation takes a wide place in her heart. When Greta suddenly realizes that "poetry is a kind of betrayal to life",she also realizes that she is absolutely wrong and cannot ignore the reality of fantasy. So shame and guilt for the family make Greta realize her betrayal of real life in her soul. This is the second time that Greta was indulge in her own fantasy but had to be coward because of her family and the reality.However in the last scene, Harris givesher a kiss after Greta and her daughter arriving in Toronto,which makes Gretacompletely addicted in this kiss again. She once again gets lost in the fantasy and attends to throw reality and moral boundaries away, but when she tries to hang onto her daughter, the children pulls away and gets her hand freeat that moment.Her daughterKatie’s departure brings her into reality.“She did not try to escape, she just stood there, waiting for whatever had to come next”(Munro 30), Greta realizes that her desire of escaping from the real life is impossible in the end. It is the third time that Greta’s consciousness lingers between reality and fantasy.Her struggling consciousness is strong and lasting.Munrodepicts such a scene closely around the story to reveal the contradiction between reality and fantasy. Reality and fantasy co-existence is obvious conflict in this story, the behavior of escaping from real life and wandering of mind exist from beginning to end. Alice Munro wields creative technique of the consciousness to express Greta’s desire in her soul. Greta is pulled by reality and fantasy, and strives for balance, but is always wandering between reality and fantasy. Her minds have been changing with the emergence of others and emotional needs, but she cannot escapes the constraints of reality eventually. Munroconstantly breaks her fantasy with reality again and again in the process of shaping Greta, and then brings her in to the real life again. This is Munro’sexplanation about the art of life: the collision between reality and illusion.B. Mental growth of teenage Alice MunroAlice Munro’s newest short novel Dear Life was published in 2013. It is composed of four autobiographical tales. So in a sense, this short novel belongs to her response to real life.Although Munro combines fact and image in her creative process, it is still based on her real experience and attitude towards her own life. So the last four autobiographical tales fully reflect the characteristics of psychological realism. Literary realism means a literary movement stressing the depiction of contemporary life and society as it exists or existed.From the angle of psychology, psychological realism represents the character in literary realism so as to express the core idea of the realism --- the objectivity, regularity and rational of natural and social order.[6]Munro depicts and conjectures details and the psychology of the characters in her great patience. She tries to show her purpose that mentality embodies reality and the reality reflects psychological changes, and achieves the combination of epic realism and fantasy, which shows typical psychological reality principle. In Voices, AliceMunro recalls the circumstance that she goes to a dancing party with her mother when she was young. In this short story, Munro examines the whole dance and various types of participant from the child's perspective. Besides, Munro also has a detailed description and evaluation on the mother's dress and behavior from a child's point of view.Her slightly sarcastic tone about mother's ridiculous behavior reflects Munro's rebellion and her challenging the power of her mother.This is common that teenager Munro constantly hates her mother’s everything, just as other girls in the same period. At the party she meets a young woman named Peggy and two young aircraftmen. When Munro see two air force soldiers woo and please Peggy, teenage Munro cannot stop thinking,“Peggy is so lucky. She doesn't deserve.” Teenage Munro is jealous of Peggy because of good treatment from the two aircraftmen, and never forgets the two men. This situation is a wonderful moment that she has been expected. Alice Munro describes the first understanding of love in her young period. Munro’s emotion change is gradually mature along with the deepening of real life. Although teenage Munro is fascinated by the two air force soldiers because of their male charm, at that time she is an innocent girl without love experiences. In the ending of story, Munro writes, “ And while they still inhabited my not yet quite erotic fantasies they were gone. Some, many, gone for good”(Munro 298).With enriching her experiences, Munro notices love is not what she realizes. Reality teaches Munro from immaturityto maturity to understand and explore love in her life. This story is about teenage girls exploring the love between men and women and their ignorant understanding about love and fantasy. Girls in teenage period hopeto keepa wonderful relationship with the opposite sex,while they are not brave enough toachieve those little fantasies in their minds. Anyway, whether in physiology or in mentality, they gradually grow up, because living is alwayschanging. The intense psychological fantasy also has risen with age.When one blindly praises life all the time, Munro shows cruel and broken reality to people by depicting ordinary people’s unfortunate experience and irresistiblefates.When one is excessively hopeless and lament precious life, Munro tries to persuade everyone to be kind to his or her life.Munro shows the real side of life in her works, even if the truth is ugly and unbelievable. But from the name of the works, people can see that Munro has a gentle attitude and calm manner to treat her life. This is the keynote of Dear Life.Ⅲ.Attractive Artistry of LivingA.Unexpected theatricalityProfessor Zhu Binzhongpoints out that outward actions in Munro’s works are compressed or postponed to a large extent, until developed to the intermediate of stories. In this time, conflicts begin to arise.[8] Whether Dear Life oranother famous works, Runaway, the two works seem to show that Alice Munro never observes traditional writing characteristics of short story. Alice Munro gives up intensifying conflict of plot to attract reader’s eye.In term s of content of works,although her works seem lacking of strong theatricality,gentle conflicts do not weaken profound connotation.Rendering of the external environment,the tangled and complicated inner world of figures and control of subtle emotion are main artistic technique through which Alice reveals unique and abundant lives from average persons.German dramatist and theorist Freytag believes that the theatricality is condensed into the heart activity of the will and action or the influence of their own and other people's actions caused in the heart. Munro in her short stories also attaches great importance to heighten the emotion by depicting surrounding objects in detail.People who ever experienced will have the same feelingwith the narrator, while people who havedifferent personal sorrow and joy will inevitably sigh.Alice Munro still prefers to set up the story Amundsen in a quiet remote town as its background.In this story, She uses a large amount of detail description and environmental description to expound this story.Alice Munro seems to create a dusky, tedious and even depressive atmosphere on purpose. Cloudy weather, smothering of diseases and fear of death make the whole story gloomier, which indicates the final woeful ending of the relationship. When the heroine seemingly harvests love and happy marriage, the atmosphere of the story seems to become clear. But happiness is just an illusion, the overall tone has been clear gradually.Vivian from Toronto comes to a town called "Amundsen", and she is hired for temporary to teach those children who suffering from tuberculosis in the local hospital school. When she meets her employerDr. Fawkes, the story begins to be unfolded. Munro tries to tell the story through the eyes of Vivian, through deepening the image of Fawkes and emotional changes to Dr. Fawkes. In the beginning, when Vivian first seesher employer Fawkes, Fawkes’s sharp tone makes her feel violated. Fawkes’s impression is so terrible to Vivian. When invited to the home of Fawkes, "Bookssuggesting someone anxious to know, to possess great scattered lumps of knowledge. Perhapsnot someone whose tastes were firm and exacting"(Munro 49), "he puts a dish towel round my waist to protect my dress"(Munro 51).In this time,the ever terrible impression toFawkes apparentlyis changed in the eyes of Vivian.Vivian is rather amazed and joyful because Fawkes show h is extensive knowledge, his consideration and even t he same taste with her. Vivian has been crazy for her love to Fawkes.Although later when she sees how brutal does Fawkes treat Marie, Vivian is still self deception,"he had done it for me, in a way. So that his time with me should not be taken away."(Munro 54).She would ratherdeceive herself for him. With the development of the tale, the image ofFawkesin the eyes of Vivian is constantly changing, and Fawkes constantly bringsthe shock to her heart.Vivian coming to this small town lonely is not entirely dependent on other people. But after falling in love with Fawkes, Vivian gradually loses herself in this love, becomes blind, and is in a passive position. When Fawkes tells her that their honeymoon is a mistake, Vivian faces a unexpected dilemma at this time, and has to return her home by train alone.From surprise and happiness in the beginning to shock and flawless in the end, Vivian's feelings for Fawkes are changing all the time. The theatricality of this storiesis completely clear, and dramatic change is stressed. At last a new tone in his voice, almost a lively cheerful tone,Fawkes’s performance is ruthless. Though Vivian is aware of being abandoned,she has impractical illusions to Fawkeseven in the moment of leaving. The protagonist Vivian'sfeeling to Fawkes will undoubtedly become the main line of the plotdevelopment, and is the key to the dramatic story.Many years later, two people came across accidentally and continue to go away.It is not hard to see that accidental meeting did not change the life trajectory of two person. But lovedeeply rooted in the heart has never been forgotten.So at the end of the story Munro wrote: "Nothing changes really about love"(Munro 66).B.Aesthetic concept of sentimentLiterary works tends to become an important medium by which writers depict their emotional skeleton. Emotion is the ontology of art and direct basis of aesthetics. Artistic expression also needs emotion as a requisite carrier.From Runaway to Dear Life, Alice Munro manifests a mixed but everlasting feeling from the perspective of aesthetic concept of sentimentall the time. Humanism of aesthetics embodies the development of human nature and the exploration of human virtues, while the thesis of aesthetic concept of sentiment is always about pursuit of love and reflection of human nature. People always found out that b eautiful soul, fair emotion and nice manner are stressed in Munro’s stories. Aesthetic concept of sentiment’s study regards perceptual self as its standard. The internal needs, potency of life and free nature interpret literary and artistic creative activities and emotional performance, showing essence characteristics of modern text doctrine of non-rationalism.[4] The nature of art is the emotional performance to a certain extent. Art connotation is often the concentration of emotional process, and is the materialization of emotional rule. Strong emotional resonance and huge power of human emotion are important foundations of the sense of beauty.Alice Munro expounds the aesthetic meanings of feelings and conveys a gentle attitude towards love in Dear Life. She tell us that we should be patient and calm down because love is completely growing process.In Dolly, the story tells about love and waiting from the old couple. Dolly is a woman named Gwen, and she makes a living by selling cosmetics to raise her four granddaughters. In this stories, she is not the owner of love but is a key guide in the love world of the old couple. When knows the relation between her husband Franklin and Gwen afteran unexpected reunion, the feeling of the heroine begins to become distorted. When the hostess heard her husband and Gwen in the kitchen having a pleasant conversation,“I got up at once and hurried into my clothes and fixed my hair, a thing I never usually bother with so early. All the safety and merriment of the evening was gone from me. I made a good deal of noise coming down the stairs” (Munro 245).In the meantime,the heroine’s jealousness begins to take up her entire mood. Her emotion begins to be exposed in public. “This grievous excitement got more and more of a hold on me” (Munro 246), the hostess decides to leave home out of jealous, leaving a crazy letter to her husband. When she arrives at othertown,her performance is totally nervous.When she stays alone, she inadvertently recalls some habits of her husband and understands that there could be no thought in her head of any man but Franklin, ever. This is the beautiful sound from the heroine's inner feelings. And she also admitted that “I did not think of Gwen except as a person who had got in the way and created absurd problems ”(Munro 243).So at this time, the feelings of the heroine have her come to realize the truth that her babyish behavioris so absurd and she loves her husband Franklin, forever. So when she finally realizes her behavior of leaving home is a mistake, she decides to let it go and come back home. Even if she returns to Franklin's side, but still tangleswhether her husband Franklin has read poetry tohis old lover, she is a naive girl full of jealousy.Her husband Franklin's tolerance and respect play a quite important role during the changed process of emotion. “We can’t afford rows”(Munro 253), this words just right manifest Franklin's attitude towards his wife.Emotional crisis doesn’t destroy the love of this old couple. Alice Munropinpoints emotional maturity process of the mistress. Her aesthetics thought is throughout the story.From jealousy, skepticism to deep feelings, the process of emotion changescan be seen that the heroine's feelings aregraduallygrowing up. The heroine at lastrealizes that she and her husband are always together and not separate because an insignificant person. It's all about life. It's life as if we need more. Although skepticism and hesitation all are in this story named Dolly,the beauty of love seems to play the most important role.In Munro's works, emotional regulation is manifested, repeatedly ve rifiedand enriched by countless people. I n her works, Alice Munro combines the exploration of human nature with the experience of the aesthetics of feelingsto express her view about love and life. J ust as Munro said in this book, "No matter what happens, accept it readily.Everything is a gift, we give, and we accept".ConclusionLife is not as specific and accurate as science. Life is more like unspoken art, emotional and complex. So Alice Munro does notintend to give a direct answer about what is life by a piece of ordinary story. Her unique writing style also decides that she would not elaborate philosophical。

It can contribute a lot to one’s success.Although “All roads lead to Rome”, none of them is completely smooth. Our life is filled with obstacles which may make us feel so hopeless that we may choose to give up. At the crucial moment, strong will helps a lot. As a matter of fact, the ability to work through difficult situation and unfortunate events with strong will can make one stronger and more capable. In other words, if we want to realize life’s goal, we must keep forging ahead with strong consciousness.From what has been discussed above, we can see that the establishment of tough determination is of great importance to everyone. With a strong will, including our knowledge, we will be able to deal with any situation in our life. Whatever we do, as long as we stick to and do not give up easily, we will realize the goal at last.英语专业论文模板篇二“魅力新声”英语歌唱比赛不仅具有较高的学术含量，而且包含较浓厚的英语文化。

英语论文范文精选篇一Chapter OneINTRODUCTION1.1 Research BackgroundHigh proficiency in writing is a key to success in a wide variety of situations andprofessions; meanwhile it is of critical importance for students to apply for promising jobs.Writing skills for university students are among the overwhelming indicators of success inacademic work during their freshmen year of college (Geiser & Studley, 2001). Writingskills for professionals are critical for their daily work and essential for application andpromotion within their disciplines (Light, 2008). Writing induces the capability ofconstructing logics, articulating ideas, debating opinions, and sharpening multipleperspectives. As a result, effective writing is conducive to associating convincingly withcommunication targets, including teachers, peers, colleagues, coworkers, and thecommunity at large (Crowhurst, 1990). No wonder that writing skill is an indispensible partto be checked for every test at home and abroad，such as TOELF, lELTS，GRE, BEC，CET4, CET6, TEM4，TEM8 and so on.Notwithstanding such manifestation of the significance of writing, it is reported in the2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) report in the U.S.A. that lessthan a third of students in Grade 4 (28%)，Grade 8 (31%), and Grade 12 (21%) scored at orabove proficient levels，and only 2% wrote at advanced levels for all three samples.Moreover, only 9% of Grade 12 Black students and only 28% of Grade 12 White studentswere able to write at a proficient level (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2003).……………1.2 Significance of the ResearchBased on the CET 4 and CET6 compositions extracted from the CLEC，the study aimsto reveal the relationship between the linguistic features and the writing quality by meansof the advanced software，namely Lexical Frequency Profile, Coh-Metrix3.0 and L2Syntactic Complexity Analyzer for the analysis of vocabulary, syntax and textual cohesion.This study will be of great value mainly for the following two aspects:Firstly, theoretically speaking, the study is going to offer guidance and reference forthe teachingmethodology of L2 writing. The study reveals the contribution of lexicaldiversity, syntactic complexity, textual cohesion to writing quality, reflects the mostdecisive factor of the writing quality and analyzes the mutual relationship between thelexical diversity and quality of writing, the syntactic complexity and quality of writing aswell as the textual cohesion and quality of writing. Hopefully, this research will shedsome light on the instruction of CET 4 and 6 writing and provide practical advice.Secondly, practically speaking, the study demonstrates a new direction for thedevelopment of automatic assessment of the writing. The study is to be carried out bothby means of software and labor work to comprehensively examine more than 28variables that might have an impact on writing quality and build the relation modelbetween these related variables and writing scores. ……………Chapter TwoLITERATURE REVIEW2.1 Lexical Features and Quality of WritingIn the process of L2 writing，students are always perplexed by vocabulary. Leki&Carson (1994) surveyed 128 L2 learners to know about their feelings on the courseEnglish for Academic Purposes (EAP). It is discovered that the strongest zeal for studentsis to improve their language proficiency, especially lexical proficiency. Jordan (1997)obtained the similar conclusion in his study on Chinese students in UK applying for theirmaster degrees, 62% of whom regarded vocabulary as their biggest problem in the processof English writing. Over the past two decades，researchers have attached more and more importance toL2vocabulary studies. As an important element of language proficiency, lexical proficiency isdefined from different perspectives and evaluated by a series of measurements. Meanwhile, lexical proficiency, to a large extent, is embodied by lexical features. As a matter of fact,studies on lexical features have received more and more attention from home and abroadresearchers mainly focusing on total words, lexical diversity (LD) or lexical richness (LR)and lexical complexity (LC), among which lexical diversity or lexical richness has gainedmore popularity for lexical proficiency study.……………2.2 Syntactic Features and Quality of WritingSyntactic complexity (also called syntactic maturity，or linguistic complexity)，isimportant in the prediction of the quality of student writings. Wolfe-Quintero et al. (1998)pointed out that a syntactically complex writer uses a wide variety of both basic andsophisticated structures，while a syntactically simple writer uses only a narrow range ofbasic structures. In the past half century, researchers adopted many different indices tostudy the syntactic complexity and attempted to find out the relationship among the scores,the grades, the ages and the writing quality. Syntactic complexity is defined as “the range of forms that surface in languageproduction and the degree of sophistication of such forms” (Ortega, 2003). It is animportant factor in the second language assessment construct as described in Bachman's(1990) conceptual model of language ability, and therefore is often used as an index oflanguage proficiency and development status of L2 learners. Various studies have proposedand investigated measures of syntactic complexity as well as examined itspredictivenessfor language proficiency, in both L2 writing and speaking settings, which will be reviewedrespectively.Syntactic complexity is also called syntactic maturity, referring to the range oflanguage production form and the degree of the form complexity. Therefore，the length ofthe production unit, the amount of the sentence embeddedness and the range of thestructure type are all the subjects of the syntactic complexity (Ortega 2003: 492).………CHAPTER THREE METHODOLOGY (20)3.1 Composition Collection (20)3.2 Tools (21)3.3 Variables (23)3.3.1 Dependent variables (25)3.3.2 Independent variables (26)3.4 Data Analysis (28)CHAPTER FOUR DATA ANALYSIS AND RESULTS (30)4.1 Quantitative Differences in High- and Low- Proficiency Writings-1ivviv (30)4.2 Comparison between Quantitative Features of CET4 (38)4.3 Impacts of Quantitative Features on Writing Quality (47)5.1 Lexical Diversity and Writing Quality (47)5.2 Syntactic Complexity and Writing Quality (48)5.3 Textual Cohesion and Writing Quality (49)Chapter FiveDICUSSION5.1 Lexical Diversity and Writing QualityU index assessing lexical diversity has showed significant difference between high-and low-proficiency writing both in CET4 and CET6. It may suggest thathigh-proficiencywritings have displayed more diverse vocabularies, which is different from the study ofWang (2004). In his study, the target students have a similar lexical diversity. Among theindices assessing lexical study in his study, none index has showed significant differencebetween high- and low-proficiency writings or correlated with writings scores. In his study,he explained the possible reason for such a result that there issignificant difference inaverage words. However, this result is probably attributed to his measurement of lexicaldiversity. In his study, TTR was employed as an index of lexical diversity, but asmentioned above, TTR is reliable only when texts have the same length. In Wang's study,texts vary in length; thus longer texts tend to have lower TTR. That is why the relationshipbetween lexical diversity and writing quality is blurred. But in this study, we adopted Uindex to measure lexical diversity in CET compositions, for U index can avoid theweakness of TTR and eliminate the influence of text length. Besides, Liu (2003) studied 57second- year college students in two natural classes and found out that vocabulary size hadno immediate effect on writing score. However, the result that lexical diversity has apositive impact on the quality of writing in this study is in accordance with the study ofMcNamara et al. (2001).……………ConclusionThis study aims to explore the relationship between lexical features and L2 writingquality with the help of Lexical Frequency Profile, the relationship between syntacticfeatures and L2 writing quality through the use of the computational tool L2 SyntacticComplexity Analyzer and the relationship between cohesive features and second languagewriting quality with the help of the computational tool Coh-Metrix3.0. Meanwhile, thestudy gives us information about the textual representation of different writingproficiencies along multiple textual measurements.This section summarizes the major findings of this study and presents theoretical,methodological and pedagogical implications for L2 writing research. Limitation of thepresent study and suggestions for further studies are raised in the end.……………Reference (omitted)英语论文范文精选篇二Chapter One Introduction1.1 Background of the ResearchEnglish writing is an important way of communication, which can enhance the ability oflanguage acquisition in the process of second language learning. As one of the language skills,English writing is very difficult to master. After many years, students still find that their writingis unsatisfactory and have many problems. It is widely acknowledged that much attentionshould be paid to English writing. At present our college English writing teaching is time-consuming and low effectiveness, for teachers spend a lot of time and energy reading andcorrecting students’ compositions, but the efficiency is not high; at the same time, studentsspend a lot of time writing, and the results are not satisfactory.The following conspicuous problems tend to exist in the English writing. First, when givena topic, students tend to think in Chinese and do a translation job. Second, students spend toomuch time avoiding grammatical errors in the process of writing, which leads to the ignoranceof the organization of the compositions in a comprehensive view. Third, enriching the contentduring the writing process is difficult for students, for they fail to support their viewpointswithappropriate examples and strong arguments. English writing is the weakest part in Englishlearning especially for Chinese Vocational college students. According to Basic Teaching Requirements for Vocational College English Course,developing students’ comprehensi ve abilities to use English language is the teaching aim ofvocational college English. In terms of writing, students should have the ability to master thebasic writing skills and accomplishing writing tasks of different types, including narration,description, argumentation and practical writings like business email or announcement.Besides,their writing should have a clear organization and proper coherence; at the same time, studentsshould be able to write or describe something with adequate content and proper form indifferent situations, such as business situation.…………1.2 Purpose and Significance of the ResearchAs we can see, most English class in the vocational colleges is always a big class which contains at least sixty students and in the class students may not receive the feedbackfromteacher immediately, although offering feedback is one of the essential tasks. It is helpful andefficient for teachers that students themselves can check other s’ writing and give comments. Sothese two feedbacks have their own roles in the revision. Considering the vocational collegeeducation, examining the practice of teacher feedback and peer feedback on EFL writing is ofgreat importance and necessity. This study is aimed to discuss the effects of teacher feedbackand peer feedback in the English class in order to provide some useful English writing teachingmethod and studying ways for vocational college education. This is not only consistent with thespirit of the new curriculum; at the same time reflects the “student-c entered” teachingphilosophy.…………Chapter Two Literature Review2.1 Feedback TheoryFeedback is widely seen in education as crucial for both encouraging and consolidatinglearning (Anderson, 1982; Brophy, 1981; Vygotsky, 1978), and the importance has alsobeenacknowledged in the field of English writing.In language learning, feedback means evaluative remarks which are available to languagelearners concerning their language proficiency or linguistic performance(Larsen-Freeman,2005). In the filed of teaching and learning, feedback is defined as many terms, such asresponse, review, correction, evaluation or comment. No matter what the term is, it can bedefined as “comments or information learners receive on the success of a learning task, eitherfrom the teacher or from other learners (Richards et al., 1998)”.A more detailed description of feedback in terms of writing is that the feedback is “inputfrom a reader to a writer with the effect of providing information to the writer for revision”(Keh, 1990). From the presentation of general grammatical explanation to the specific errorcorrection is all the range of feedback. The purpose is to improve the writing ability of studentsby the description and correction of the errors.The role of feedback is to make writers learn where he or she has misled or confused thereader by supplying insufficient information, illogical organization, lack ofdevelopment ofideas, or something like inappropriate word-choice or tense (Keh, 1990).…………2.2 Theoretical Foundations of FeedbackCollaborative learning, also called cooperative learning, is the second theoretical basis thatback for the application of feedback in writing class. It is feasible that students communicateactively with each other in the classroom.There is a clear difference betweenstudents-centered and traditional teacher-ledclassrooms. Students’ enthusiasm of participating in group discussion strengthens whenstudents are completely absorbed in collaborative learning in the students-centered class. Whenstudents get together to work out a problem, ideas are conveyed among them and immediatefeedback is received from their group members.Collaborative learning emphasizes that both students and instructors participate and interact actively (Hiltz, 1997). Collaborative learning is viewed from both behavioral andhumanistic perspectives (Slavin 1987). The behavioral perspective stresses that students areencouraged to study under a cooperativesituation and rewarded in the form of group rather thanindividual ones. As for the humanistic perspective, more understanding and better performanceare gained from the interaction among peers. So it is obvious that collaborative learning putsmore attention to the influence of peers, which is different from the previous English writingteaching theories(Johnson and Johnson,1986).Collaborative learning make the students work and learn together to maximize their ownand other’s study.…………Chapter Three Research Methodology (21)3.1 Research Questions (21)3.2 Subjects (21)3.3 Instruments (22)3.3.1 Writing Tasks (23)3.3.2 Questionnaires (23)3.3.3 Pre-test and Post-test (24)3.4 Research Design (24)3.5 Data Collection (27)Chapter Four Results Presentation and Discussion (29)4.1 Students’ Changed Writing P roficiency (29)4.2 Students’ Changed Interest in English Learning and Writing (36)Chapter Five Conclusion (43)5.1 Major Findings (43)5.2 Pedagogical Implications and Suggestions (44)5.3 Limitations of the Study (46)5.4 Suggestions for Further Study (46)Chapter Four Results Presentation and Discussion4.1 Students’ Changed Writing ProficiencyThe data from the pre-test and post-test of the EC and CC were all collected and analyzedthrough SPSS 13.0 to investigate the difference before and after the adoption of teacherfeedback and peer feedback in the English writing class. As table4-1 shows, the mean score of the control class (11.43) is rather similar to theexperimental class (11.56). Moreover, the standard deviation of experimental class (9.357) isalso rather similar to that of the control class (9.421). The mean score of the experimental groupisa little bit higher than that of control the group(11.56>11.43), but the disparity is only 0.13,and thelowest score and the highest score of the two groups are quite close to each other.On the basis of the group statistics of the pre-test, the author carried out an independentsamples t-test in order to further compare the mean scores of the pre-test between CC and EC.Table 4-2 shows the Sig is 0.624, higher than 0.05, showing the writing proficiency of twogroups have no significant difference. Thereby, the statistics in the row of “Equal variancesassumed” should be observed. The Mean Difference is merely 0.338, and the Standard ErrorDifference is only 2.086. In addition, Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.836 (>.05), which indicates that thestudents from both EC and CC share almost the same level of English writing proficiencybefore the study.…………ConclusionFeedback plays a key role and is quite effective in enhancing students’ writingproficiency. The comparison of mean scores in pre-test and post-test indicates that both groupsof EG and CG make more progress in their writingafter this feedback-initiated writinginstruction. Teacher feedback and peer feedback can lead to achievements in students’ writing,which means that the two kinds of feedback are all helpful, effective for promoting students’writing competence to some degree and there is no definite answer for the research question,which one will enhance students’ writing ability the more effective method between teacherfeedback and peer feedback. Teacher and peer feedback play different roles in improvingstudents’ writing. When giving teacher feedback, students in the control class make greaterprogress in organization and content, which was different from the experimental class. Theresults and discussion on students’ focus on the five language aspects had been mentioned in theprevious chapter. Those deep-level language aspects, like the content and organization are theweakest points for most of the students especially for the vocational students, so teacher has theability to point out the mistakes more deeply. As for peer feedback, students may havedifficultyin recognizing the errors in those deep -level aspects so they put more attention to the grammarand vocabulary.……………Reference (omitted)英语论文范文精选篇三Chapter I Introduction1.1 Theoretically analytical tool of the thesisAiming to analyze the features of English advertisements, the author picks English1advertisements which closely relate to people's daily life and rank first on the list ofcommercial advertisements as the studying material and applies thematic structure andthematic progression patterns as the theoretical tool of analysis.Now, quite a large number of linguists have studied theme and rheme, usingthematic structure and thematic progression patterns to conduct studies on detaileddiscourses，such as novels, sports news and students' theses. Taking thematic structureand thematic progression patterns as the analytical tool can help to explore how textsare developed. Halliday，a great linguist who has made many contributions tolinguistics, claims thematic structure as "basic form ofthe organization of the clause asmessage" (Halliday 1985:34). Each clause can be divided into theme part and rhemepart. The relation between themes and rhemes of the text can reveal how the text isconducted, which is known as thematic progression. Through thematicprogression,coherence of the text can be established. …………1.2 Purpose of the studyThrough the perspective of Systemic-Functional Grammar, 42 written texts ofEnglish advertisements are taken as the corpus and their thematic structures andthematic progression patterns are analyzed one by one. The author will analyze thedistribution of different themes and explore the use of four basic thematic progressionpatterns in this type of advertisements, trying to answer three questions:(1) What are the features of the usage of different themes in English advertisements?(2) Which thematic progression is used most often and why?(3) What pragmatic effects do these four thematic progressions have in Englishadvertisements?In the whole thesis, these three questions will be answered through analyzing theparticularEnglish advertisements. Halliday's(1994) theory of thematic structure and XuShenghuan's(1982) four basic thematic progression patterns will be adopted asanalytical framework, the reason of which will be explained later in Chapter 2.…………Chapter II Literature review2.1 Studies on thematic structureTheme and rheme distinction was firstly described by V. Mathesius in 1939 (HuZhuanglin 1994:137). In his mother tongue, Czech，he tries to analyze sentences fromthe perspective of communication and function and show how the information in asentence is expressed. Firbas translates Mathesius' definition of theme as: "[the theme]is that which is known or at least obvious in the given situation and from which thespeaker proceeds."(Martin 1992:434) Therefore, according to him, theme is the startingpoint of the message, which is known or given in the utterance and from which thespeaker proceeds, while rheme plays a role as new information, which is about what thespeaker says ontheme and represents the very important information that the speakerwants to convey to the hearer. In his opinion，a clause is divided into three parts: theme,rheme and transition. Of course, it is obvious that Mathesius does not use the exactexpression of "theme" and "rheme".Though Mathesius' point of view has some deficiencies, it influences Praguescholars greatly. One of his well-known followers, Firbas, proposes a view to improvethe thematic theories. He believes that theme is one that has lower degree ofcommunicative dynamism in some certain context while rheme has higher one.Different from Mathesius in dividing a clause into three parts (Hu Zhuanglin et al1989)，Firbas (1992) merges the concept of transition into rheme and divides a clauseinto two.Following with their opinions, there are two groups differing from each other. Onegroup thinks that theme is equal to "given" while the other one, Systemic School,accepts 'separating approach' which disentangles the two. Systemic School argues thatthere are differences existing between information structure (given-new) and thematicstructure (theme-rheme).…………2.2 Studies on thematic progression patternsIn discourse analysis，a sentence is understood as a message，conveyinginformation from the speaker to the listener. It can be separated into two segments:theme and rheme. Mathesius' (1976) concept of theme and rheme leads to a surge ofinterest in discourse analysis operated at the level of clause. The different choices andorders of discourse themes, the mutual connection and hierarchy between themes andrhemes, as well as their relationship to the hyperthemes of the superior discourse (suchas the paragraph, chapter, etc.) to the whole text or to the situation would influence theinternal structure of the text. Halliday (1985:227) subscribes to that opinion too，statingthat "the success of a text does not lie in the grammatical correctness of its individualsentences，but in the multiple relationships established among them". Therefore,thematic progression performs an important role in discourse analysis.Both scholars abroad and at home make great contributions to the study ofthematic structure together with thematic progression.…………Chapter III Analytical framework of the study and research design (20)3.1 Analytical framework of the study (20)3.1.1 Analytical framework of thematic structure (21)3.1.2 Analytical framework of thematic progression patterns (22)3.2 Research design (24)3.2.1 Consideration on selecting data used in the analysis (25)3.2.2 Analytical procedures (27)3.3 Summary (30)Chapter IV Analysis of thematic structure (33)4.1 Some rules of identifying and counting themes........334.2 Simple theme, multiple theme and zero theme (35)4.2.1 Distribution of simple theme, multiple theme and zero theme (36)4.2.?

GE Capital(T2) has provided billions in financing so businesses can build and growtheir operations and consumers can build their financial futures(R2). We(T3) build appliances,lighting, power systems and other products that help millions of homes, offices, factories and retailfacilities around theworld work better(R3).^In this example given above, themes and rhemes have already been marked forconvenience. T1 refers to the theme of the first clause while R1 refers to the rheme, andso on. These three sentences in this piece of advertisement are all concerned about GEenterprise, although there is a slight difference among them. According to ZhuYongsheng (1985)，these themes can be seen as the same one and these clauses aresharing the same theme. ……………ConclusionThis thesis is focused on the thematic structure and thematic progression patternsof English advertisements, aiming to find some features and favored patterns.A literature review on thematic structure，thematic progression patterns andEnglish advertisements is made before the detailed analysis and finds that fewresearches are done on advertisements with a perspective of thematic organization andby a case study of one specific kind of advertisements. Therefore, the author conducts astudy on English advertisements by setting a theoretical framework,including theHalliday's theory of thematic structure and Xu Shenghuan's classification of thematicprogression patterns. Through these methods，the research is done by investigating thestatistics and results are given below: English advertisements prefer to use simpler themes to convey' informationquickly and directly. Multiple themes and clauses with themes omitted are used not sooften and differ from each other not so much in number because of the uniquecharacteristics of advertisements.……………Reference (omitted)英语论文范文精选篇四第一章引言1.1研究背景传统的课堂英语教学已经不能满足日益提高的英语学习要求，而网络化的英语在线学习系统提供大量不断更新的资源，突破地域和时间的限制，为学生和教师提供课内或课外的网络学习平台。

英语语言学论文六篇英语语言学论文范文2［关键词］英美文学语言教学高校英语教学模式随着我国改革开放的深化和现代化进程的飞速进展，英语作为一门国际性语言，在社会的政治、文化、经济等各个领域对于人才的需求量与日俱增，高校的高校英语教育也正面临新的机遇和挑战。

众多高校英语老师都在不断地摸索，总结新的有效的教学策略和方法。

目前，许多老师在高校英语教学中，尝试使用多媒体教学，用丰富的视听材料给同学创设富有意义的课堂教学环境。

作为一种补充，在课堂教学中融入经典英美文学作品也不失为一种提高同学爱好，促进英语学习的有效途径。

英美文学教育，作为高校英语教育的一种重要手段，可以培育同学的思维力量、想象力以及制造力。

其功能和应用价值的体现不仅仅适用于英语专业高班级的同学，同时也适用于高校外语教学，而文学语言也可以作为英语语言学习的重要范本，在提高高校生人文素养情操及文学鉴赏力量的同时，提高同学的文学语言感悟力。

一、文学语言与英语语言技能的进展众所周知，语言是思想的直接实现，人靠语言来表达思想。

与其他艺术形式相比较，语言艺术有着极为丰富的思想容量。

作家可以直接将自己对生活的感受、体验、理解、评价及心情、情感渗透在作品中，从而以情达理，以理融情，情、理相生。

真正的文学大师笔下的语言是具有生命灵性的，它有声，有色，有味，有情感，有厚度、力度与质感，是应当细心去体会，沉吟，把玩，并从中感受到一种语言的趣味性。

因此语言的背后是人的心灵世界。

对文学语言美的敏感与驾驭力量，是提高人的精神境界，使人变得更加美妙的不行或缺的方面。

文学阅读的魅力与意义也就在于此。

目前的高校英语教学，仍旧停留在传统的单纯课文教学，语言点讲解等层面上，课本内容相对陈旧，老师的教学手段也并无创新之处。

其弊端是忽视英语的基本功能即表达功能，也忽视了同学在教学活动中的主体作用，另外还忽视了对同学英语学习爱好的培育，将生硬的课本内容强行“灌输”;至同学脑海中，使整个课堂教学环节缺乏生气，长此以往，高校英语教学将陷入僵局。
