本书针对中国高校英语专业学生的特点,力图在现有同类教材的基础上有所创新。它与国内同类教材的最大区别在于理论联系实际,即用现代西方修辞学理论指导英语写作实践。
本书共六章,第一章简明扼要地阐述了关于写作的几个基本观点,为后续章节中的理论解释作了铺垫。第二章介绍被英语修辞学认为是写作的第一个重要环节的“觅材取材”,并阐释了几种重要方法。第三章讲述写作中的选词及修辞策略,主要介绍了词义的类别和语体特点,并提出了词汇处理的种种策略,如静态变动态、辞格使用等。第四章讲解句子的建构及其修辞策略,重点是语句的通顺连贯、言简意赅、生动活泼等修辞问题,而非句法的正确与否。第五章讲述段落写作。本章展示了段落的基本结构及其发展的几种重要模式,并提出了作为论题的段落的建构策略。第六章阐述文章写作,先介绍文章的传统发展模式,然后讲解作为论题的文章的写作要领以及文章开头、结尾的修辞策略。本书的最后两章对中国学生英语写作中的常见问题进行了分析,并提出了相应的解决办法。为了便于教学,本书各章都附有针对性的练习。
