韩礼德和哈桑提出的语篇连贯的标准,受到了Widdowson、Enkvist和严世清等学者的批评。实际上,Widdowson和Enkvist混淆了“衔接”和“衔接手段”这两个不同的概念,严世清等则将“语域的一致性”单纯地理解为“话题”的延续。因此,他们的批评是不能被接受的。然而,韩礼德和哈桑提出的语篇连贯的标准也必须联系语篇产生的语境加以补充。 The standard of discourse coherence proposed by Halliday and Hassan has been criticized by scholars such as Widdowson, Enkvist and Yan Shiqing. In fact, Widdowson and Enkvist confuse the two different concepts of “cohesion” and “cohesiveness”, while Yan Shiqing simply interprets “coherence of the domain ” as “topic ” continue. Therefore, their criticism can not be accepted. However, the standards of text coherence proposed by Halliday and Hassan must also be complemented by the context in which the discourse is generated.
