Today, with the development of the technology and the diversity of the mass media, advertising has influenced us pervasively in our daily life. However, whatever the promotive strategies advertising takes, language is the main carrier of message all along, as The Language of Advertising, by Vestergaard & Schroder, says, “Advertising takes many forms, but in most of them language is of crucial importance.” Advertising language is a style of immediate impact and rapid persuasion. The point of an advertisement is to persuade you of the merits of a particular product or service, in order that you will take out some of your money. Advertising Information Advertising information is the principal contents an advertisement wants to disseminate. Advertising is a serious of planning action, so the information of advertising should be aimed at the certain target market and consumers, and should avoid aimlessness. The dissemination of information should be accurate, definite, recognizable and moderate in length. An effective advertisement involves not only “what to say”, but also ‘how to say”. Advertising Media Media are the means of the dissemination of advertising, including newspaper, magazine, broadcast, TV program, billboard and mail. The newspaper, magazine, broadcast and TV are called the four main media of advertising. Moreover, any kind of objects or tools can be a medium for the advertisement, such as airplane, train, bus, building, neon light, movie, package, exhibition, and etc. Different kinds of media have different features, disseminating area, target audience and speed. Nonpersonal Advertising is not aimed at any individual, or by any individual. It’s a nonpersonal transmission of information aiming at the public or a certain group of people. Because of the nonpersonal features of advertising, the dissemination and operation of it should be restricted by the law of a country, the moral standards, psychology, zoology, and environment protection. The information, methods, media, and other components of advertising should abide by the advertising laws, policies and rules, and should be under the supervision of the public. All of these components are mutual features and essential elements of every advertisement. The wide use of advertising has created a special style of English—advertising English. Its unique features, simple language and immense attraction separate it from other kind of language. In the development of advertising English, this kind of language has formed its own features in several aspects. English Morphology in Advertising As a means to disseminate information, advertising English must be compact, vivid, visual, emotional and attractive. Therefore, morphology in advertising is quite different from common English. The function of advertising is to provide information, attract consumer, exploit market, and promise the quality. Therefore, advertisement must pay attention to its impelling language, and the first step is to use popular and oral language to make it easy to understand and memorize. For example: “I couldn’t believe it, until I tried it!” “I’m impressed! I’m really impressed!” “You’ve gotta try it!” “I love it!” This is an advertisement of a microwave oven. The words in it are very simple and oral. It uses the slang “gotta”, which means “got to” in American English, to give an impression that this advertisement comes from the real life. Misspelling and Coinage In some of advertisements, the advertising copywriter misspells some words on purpose, or adds some suffix or prefix to the common words. Although the new words still keep the original meanings, they are quite different from the original words in spelling, which will make the advertisement more vivid, interesting and attractive. e.g. We know eggsactly How to sell eggs. In this advertisement, “eggsactly” is the variation of “exactly”, and echo the word “eggs” at the end of the sentence. The Orangemostest Drink in the world. In this drink advertisement, the word “orangemostest” actually is “orange+most+est”. It uses this word to express the high quality and purity of the drink. The coinage and misspelling are also representing in some phrases, such as: First of all, because now Yoplait is thicker. Second of all, because it’s creamier. Third of all, because it’s still 100% natural and really very good for you. Fourth of all, because to me Yoplait tastes better than all the other Yoyurts. And fifth of all, because…well, just because In this advertisement, the copywriter imitate the phrase “first of all” to create “second of all, third of all, fourth of all…”, which will inspire consumers’ imagination. In addition, some prefixes or suffixes like “super-”, “ex-”, “-er”, “-est” …etc, are often used to stress the high quality of the product. Loanwords The most frequently used loanwords are French and Spanish. For example: Order it in bottles or in cans. Perrier…with added je ne sais quoi. The meaning of “je ne sais quoi” is “I don’t know what”. The purpose to use this simple French is to show the French flavor of this drink. The loanwords in some advertisement are good methods to express the exoticism of the products. (4). Contraction Because the advertisement fees are so high that it’s essential to use some contraction to cut short the length, and reduce the cost. To Let or For Sale Furnished Edinburgh Court, 426 Argyly st, 2nd floor, 1,630 sqft4 bedrooms with dining and living room, prive garage. Sale at 130,000. Rent 1,400. Tel, 38954 office time or 823748. This is an advertisement to rent or sell a house. There are many contractions, such as: st=street, sq=square, ft=foot, Tel=telephone. Use of verbs Although the ultimate purpose of advertising is to persuade consumers to buy its products, advertisements seldom use the word “buy” in it. Statistics show only two out of ten advertisements use the verb “buy” directly. On one hand, the advertisers try their best to p on the other hand, they don’t want to give the consumers a feeling of spending their money. Therefore, the choice of verbs is very careful in advertising. The most frequently used 20 verbs and phrasal verbs are: Try, ask, get, take, let, send for, use, call, make, come on, hurry, see, give, come, remember, discover, serve, introduce, choose, and look for. Examples: Getting places in the business world is easier if your banker is there to meet you. --Security Pacific Asian Bank. We can give you a better view of investment opportunities from both sides of the Pacific. --City Bank. Use of Adjectives The most frequently used adjectives are: 1.new 2. crisp 3. good/better/best 4. fine 5. free 6. big 7. fresh 8. great 9. delicious 10. real 11. full, sure 12. easy, bright 13. clean 14. extra, safe 15.special 16. rich Use of Compound words There are lots of compound words in advertisement mainly because the element of compound words could be any part of speech, and has few limits in grammar and word order. There are many ways to write a headline, and 5 types often appear in written advertisement: (1). Straightforward headlines This kind of headlines usually uses interrogative sentences and imperative sentences to arouse readers’ interest. Ever wander why most guys in pants ads are standing up? Discover the wonder of your first Dash wash! (2). News headlines Pursuing new things is the nature of human beings. People are always interested in finding some new products or improvement of old products. Therefore, news headlines could attract consumers’ attention better. Introducing Renunt Freshell, The New wave in Air Fresheners. (3). Information headlines Example: Datsun saves about a gallon of gasoline a day. (4). Emotional headlines Example: Soft shoes for hard world. (5). Curiosity headlines Example: Saturday night On Sunday Morning.

出门在外也不愁英汉思维模式的差异对英语写作的影响及对策研究--《吉林大学》2011年硕士论文
英汉思维模式的差异对英语写作的影响及对策研究
【摘要】：据一些专家预测,在不久的将来,中国英语学习者的人数将会超过以英语为母语国家的总人口数。然而,尽管经过不懈的努力,中国英语学习者的英语水平和学习效率得到了提高,并取得了相当大的进展,但事实依旧是:即使在高等教育阶段,大多数中国英语学习者的英语写作输出能力,不足以清楚地道地向他人传递思想和情感。写作是一种表达造出正确的句子并通过落于纸上的视觉媒介将其传输的行为,即,一种个人的、解决问题的复杂的递归性的技能,它与听、说、读等基本技能中的任何一项相比同等的重要或更为重要。目前,中国的英语学习者面临一个非常棘手的问题,即,尽管一些学生自小学阶段以来已经学习了12年左右的英语,有些学生甚至通过了英语4级和6级考试,但是他们仍然写不出一篇通顺的文章。此外,从以往的全国四、六级写作成绩统计数字来看,满分15分,全国大学生作文的平均成绩只有5-6分。更糟糕的是,许多学生很难理解给定的作文题目、观点、框架或大量的论据,即,他们不知如何下笔,当他们知道的时候却不知如何继续写下去,当他们头脑中有许多想法,并急切地想按英语思维模式去表达时,他们却想不出恰当的词汇,优美的措辞,恰当的语法结构或篇章结构。显而易见的是,学生的作文在语法方面毫无问题,但却充斥着太多的“中式英语”。诚然,写作中“中式英语”的出现是不可避免的,也就是说,从表层来看,词、短语、句子结构都能正确使用,然而,深入来看,在概念内涵和结构方面他们的文章缺乏流利性和准确性。不可否认,写作问题可能由许多原因导致,但是,中国英语学习者缺乏学习动力这种可能性基本可以排除。因为到了高等教育阶段时,为了将来更好的就业机会和事业发展,英语及写作的重要性已经被学生充分意识到,教师已经非常投入,英语写作已经从多个角度进行了研究,一些写作方法,如,成果教学法,过程教学法和结构教学法已经被引进中国英语写作课堂,通过教师的不懈努力,学生作文中的语法错误已经越来越少。虽然我们付出了前所未有的巨大努力,但中国英语写作的教学效果却远不尽如人意,所以中国的教育工作者应该进一步尝试更行之有效的教学方法以便于更好地理解学生的写作问题并帮助他们提高写作能力。综上所述,英汉思维模式差异将作为本论文的一个根本原因来研究,这种预感是建立在以往相关的思维模式研究,最近的语言学理论,以及作者的亲身经历和教学反思的基础之上。
鉴于以上情况,本研究旨在解决以下四个问题。
1.英汉思维模式差异在大学英语写作中的体现是什么?
2.英汉思维模式差异形成的因素是什么?
3.认知训练,英语思维模式的逐步习得,以及中国大学英语学习者写作能力的提高之间是什么关系?
4.如何培养学生的英语思维模式?
本论文主要分为四部分:
第一部分是文献综述,在简短回顾中国大学生英语写作现状之后,介绍了语言和思维有关的相关理论。国内外由思维差异造成的语言差异的先前的研究和相关理论,以及应用于研究的最近的语言学理论,即,Sapir-Whorf假说及其它关于语言和思维的相关理论,语言迁移理论,有效过滤理论和认知理论。然后从形式和概念内涵两个角度分别阐述了英汉思维模式在英语写作方面的差异。
第二部分是研究方法,依次阐述了研究问题,参与者,研究工具及实验过程。实验过程分三个阶段:实验前,实验中和实验后。本部分通过调查问卷和对受试的作文取样对长春工业大学人文信息学院非英语专业二年级的60名学生进行了实验前测和后测,并对实验组进行了每周四学时为期十二周的实证研究。
第三部分是实验结果的分析与讨论。一方面,对调查问卷的结果进行分析和讨论。实验前实验组和受控组的学生同时做了一份与思维和语言有关的调查问卷,结果显示实验前两组学生具有相似性,他们都认为语言与思维之间存在联系,两种语言之间存在思维差异,但在英文写作中他们却很少或完全没有意识到思维差异对写作的影响,在写作时不可避免地采用了汉语思维模式。另一方面,从四个角度对实验组和受控组实验前后得到的数据进行了分析:(1)汉语的具象思维和英语的抽象思维;(2)汉语的意合思维和英语的形合思维;(3)汉语的主体思维和英语的客体思维;(4)汉语的螺旋式思维和英语的直线式思维。对实验前后得到的数据进行分析,结果表明实验前实验组和受控组具有相似性,实验后,融入思维模式差异教学的实验组与接受传统教学的受控组之间存在明显差异,实验组比受控组表现的更好。
第四部分阐述了本次研究的主要发现,对教学的启示,局限性和对未来研究的建议。本研究的主要发现如下:
1.中国学生写作的症结所在是英汉两种语言思维模式的差异,语法的改正并不能从根本上解决问题。中国学生英文写作中出现的一些问题,如:用词不当,错误搭配,逻辑混乱以及缺乏连贯性,从表层原因来看,似乎是由语法错误造成的,但是从深层原因来考虑,这些错误是由两种语言的思维模式差异造成的,这也是写作中大量“中式英语”的成因。英汉两种语言有其独特的表达方式和思维方式,中国学生受母语负迁移的影响,写作中习惯于按照汉语思维模式去认知和描绘世界,去选词、造句和布局谋篇。
2.实验的讨论和结果给我们一些教学启示。在英语教学中,教师应该注重对学生进行英语思维模式的培养,尽量避免使用汉语思维。首先,教师应该多给学生介绍,讲解并让学生练习用英语思维模式去认知和描绘世界,去选词、造句和布局谋篇,学生才能够更好地意识并掌握英汉两种语言思维模式存在的差异。其次,模仿和背诵也可以培养学生的英语思维能力。教师可以提供一些典型的英文材料让学生背诵和仿写。这有利于学生积累典型的英语词汇、短语、句子和习惯用法。最后,阅读也有利于学生英语思维能力的培养。在阅读英文原著的过程中,学生可以有更多的机会比较英汉思维模式的差异,从而逐步形成英语思维模式。
3.隐喻是一种修辞手法,同时也是一种思维活动。通过概念隐喻来认识和解释词汇,可以使一些抽象的思维更加具体化,使学生能真正理解词汇的内涵,提高学生的语言运用能力。此外概念隐喻可以实现句子的多样化和语篇的连贯。隐喻思维能力的培养不仅能提高学生的遣词、造句和谋篇能力,也有利提高学生的认知能力和思考能力。因此,在写作教学中,学生隐喻思维能力的培养是必不可少的。
4.写作教学也应该注重文化思维能力的培养。不同的文化使人们形成了对客观世界的不同理解和认识,不同的理解和认识又形成了不同的思维模式。外语教学的最终目的是使学习者掌握目标语并运用该语言进行交际。成功的交际取决于良好的语言结构知识和对隐含在两种语言中的文化因素的正确理解。在写作教学中,教师应该让学生意识到两种语言的文化思维差异。
总之,从英汉思维模式差异的角度来指导学生的写作,才能从本质上真正提高学生的英文写作水平。本次研究的发现:英汉思维模式差异的对比认知和大学英语写作课的英语思维模式的认知训练相结合的教学模式是有效的。
