它指更大的语言单位比如段落、对话、采访等。
2.Discourse analysis(语篇分析)The study of how sentences in spoken and written language form larger meaningful units such as paragraphs,conversations,and interviews.研究句子在口语及书面语中如何构成有意义的语言单位比如段落，对话，采访等。
rmation structure(信息结构)1.Given and new information(已知信息与新信息)Given information is the information that the addresser believes is known to the addressee, while new information is the information that the addresser believes is not known to the addressee.New information is commonly expressed in a more elaborate fashion,for example,with a full noun phrase instead of a pronoun.In contrast,given information is commonly expressed in more attenuated ways-ways that are abbreviated or reduced.Typical attenuating devices include pronouns and unstressed noun phrases.已知信息是指说话者认为听话者已经知道的信息，而新信息是指说话者认为听话者不知道的信息。
新信息通常以详尽的方式表述，例如，用完整的名词短语而不是代词。
相比较而言，已知信息以更加简洁的方式表达——即简短或精简的方式。
典型的简洁表达有代词和非强调性的名词短语。
2.Topic and comment话题与述题【考点：名词解释】(1)Definition定义The topic represents what the utterance is about;the comment is what is said about it.话题是谈话的主题，述题是围绕主题所谈论的内容。
(2)Differences with given-new information话题与述题的区别The given-new distinction depends on the point of view of the listener,whereas the topic-comment distinction relates to that of the speaker.已知信息与新信息的区别在于听话者一方，而话题与述题的区别在于说话者一方。
3.Contrast(对比)A noun phrase is said to be contrastive when it occurs in opposition to another noun phrase in the discourse.Here,for example,the noun phrase John in Speaker B’s answer is contrasted with the noun phrase Tom.A:Did Tom see the ghost?B:No,John did.在语篇中，当一个名词短语与另一个名词短语意义正好相反时，则他们被叫做对比。
例如，B的话就是与Tom这个名词短语成对比。
A:Tom见过鬼吗？B:没有，John见过。
III.Cohesion and coherence(衔接与连贯)【考点：衔接与连贯的区别】1.Definition of cohesion.(衔接的定义)Cohesion is an important field of study in discourse analysis.It refers to the grammatical and/or lexical relationships between the different elements of a discourse.This may be the relationship between different sentences or between different parts of a sentence.衔接是语篇分析中的一个重要研究领域。
它是指语篇中不同要素间的语法与(或)词汇关系。
也许是不同句子间的相互关系，也可能是一个句子中不同部分间的关系。
2.Cohesive divices(衔接手段)(1)Reference(指称)A very common cohesive device is the use of reference words which include pronouns(e.g. it,they,he,she,them,etc.),demonstratives(this,that,these,those),the article the,and items like such as.Reference consists of two types:One is endophoric reference(endophora),where the referent lies in the prior text;the other is exophoric reference(exophora),where the referent lies in the text to come.最常用的衔接手段就是指称词汇的运用，包括代词(如它、他们、他、它等)，指示代词(这个、那个、这些、那些)，定冠词the，还有像such as这样的短语。
指称包括两种类型：一种是内参照，其所指在上文中，另一种是外参照，其所指在其下文中。
(2)Substitution(替代)The process or result of replacing one word by another at a particular position in a structure is called substitution.There are three types of substitution,that is,nominal(to replace a noun or noun phrase), verbal(to replace a verb phrase)and clausal(to replace a clause)substitution.用一个词代替另一个词在结构中的位置的过程或结果叫做替代。
替代有三种类型，分别是，名词替代(替代名词或名词性短语)，动词替代(替代一个动词短语)及从句替代(替代一个从句)。
(3)Ellipsis(省略)Ellipsis is to leave out a word or phrase of a sentence for reasons of economy,emphasis or style,and the omitted parts can only be recovered by the reader from the previous discourse.There are three types of ellipsis i.e.nominal,verbal and clausal.省略是指为了简洁，强调或风格而省去句子中的词或短语，并且读者可以在前文中找到省略的部分。
省略有三种类型：名词省略、动词省略、从句省略。
(4)Conjunction(连接)Conjunction refers to an item or a process whose primary function is to connect words or other constructions.In the example,“I was not invited.Otherwise,I would have been there”,the two clauses are connected by the cohesive conjunction otherwise.There are three types:coordinating conjunctions(e.g.and,or,but),subordinating conjunctions(e.g.because,when,unless)and adverbial words(however,moreover,indeed, nevertheless).连接是指具有连接词汇或其他结构的功能的词。
