本文从传统被动句研究的不足出发,以认知语言学的类典型理论为主要依据,从句法、语义和语用等层面对英语被动句进行了系统的分析。研究表明,“被动”这一意义范畴可以通过多种句法形式得到识解,因而呈现类典型特征。在此基础上,本文还探讨了类典型理论对英语被动句教学的启示。 Based on the insufficiency of traditional passive sentence research and the class classic theory of cognitive linguistics, this thesis systematically analyzes the passive English sentences from the aspects of syntax, semantics and pragmatics. The research shows that the meaning category of “passive” can be solved through many kinds of syntactic forms, thus presenting the typical features. On this basis, this article also explores the enlightenment of class theory on the teaching of English passive sentences.
