Abstract The importance for writers of negotiating reader relationships is by now well-established; this is a particularly delicate area for students who are of course writing for a higher status audience. One aspect of this is the expression of obligation, which up to now has not received a great deal of attention. This study seeks to address this issue by investigating some key expressions of obligation occurring in proficient student university assignments in the British Academic Written English corpus. A functional framework adapted from Hyland (2002) is used to investigate how the obligation expressions vary in use according to function. This corpus-based investigation reveals an association between lower ‘responsibility’ impersonal expressions and ‘riskier’ obligation contexts. Further qualitative analysis then explores the functions in greater detail to focus on the constraints that proficient student writers see as applying to these expressions of obligation. Pedagogical implications are then considered.

学生学术写作中义务的表达

摘要 现在,作家协商读者关系的重要性已经确立。对于那些当然是为更高地位的读者写作的学生来说,这是一个特别敏感的领域。其中一个方面是义务的表达,目前尚未引起广泛关注。本研究旨在通过调查英国学术书面英语语料库中熟练的学生大学作业中出现的一些关键义务表达来解决这个问题。改编自 Hyland (2002) 的功能框架用于研究义务表达如何根据功能在使用中变化。这项基于语料库的调查揭示了较低的“责任”非个人表达与“风险较高”的义务上下文之间的关联。进一步的定性分析然后更详细地探索这些功能,以关注熟练的学生作家认为适用于这些义务表达的约束。然后考虑教学意义。
