浅析语篇的衔接与连贯

辽宁 张依依

语篇衔接与连贯对于语篇的理解很重要，本文先介绍语篇的衔接与连贯，再举出具体语篇进行逐句分析，从中得出结论，总结规律。

语篇衔接连贯

一、引言

语篇无论是口头表达还是书面表达，都必须衔接合理，符合逻辑，语义连贯。连贯不但要依靠语篇表层结构中各个句子之间的衔接，而且要符合语义。

二、衔接

衔接是语篇特征的重要内容，它体现在语篇的表层结构上，有语法手段（包括照应，替代，省略等）和词汇手段（复现关系和同现关系）的使用。衔接是语篇的有形网络。

三、连贯

连贯指的是语篇中语义的关联，连贯存在于语篇的底层，通过逻辑推理来达到语义连接，它是语篇的无形网络。
