《中國學(xué)生社科博士論文討論與結(jié)語章節(jié)語體研究》突破現(xiàn)有學(xué)術(shù)語提研究內(nèi)容和方法的局限,以語體分析的相關(guān)理論及社會文化理論為理據(jù),采用文本分析、個案研究、深度訪談研究方法,著重從社會構(gòu)建的角度探究中國二語學(xué)習(xí)者如何構(gòu)建博士論文及結(jié)語章節(jié)這一特殊的語體。研究結(jié)構(gòu)表明:中國二語學(xué)習(xí)者在構(gòu)建博士論文討論及結(jié)語章節(jié)這一特殊的語體過程中突出的一大問題在于修辭結(jié)構(gòu)的脫節(jié),即討論及結(jié)語章節(jié)與前言部分修辭結(jié)構(gòu)缺乏照應(yīng);問題的主要癥結(jié)在于學(xué)習(xí)者缺乏有關(guān)博士論文討論及結(jié)語章節(jié)語篇構(gòu)建的規(guī)范意識;為了更好地達到、體現(xiàn)這一特殊語體的交際目的,學(xué)習(xí)者社會行為諸如與導(dǎo)師磋商、與相關(guān)學(xué)者切磋、與眾多讀者對話、與出版的學(xué)術(shù)論著交互構(gòu)建討論及結(jié)語這一特殊群體,同時,在此過程中,其寫作者的身份得以構(gòu)建和重構(gòu),由初期的一名學(xué)術(shù)寫作新手,嬗變?yōu)橐幻^熟練的寫作者,直至后期發(fā)展為該學(xué)術(shù)群體中的一員。該書的研究成果(國內(nèi)尚未空缺)不僅對當(dāng)前我國研究生學(xué)術(shù)論文寫作有著十分重要的指導(dǎo)意義,而且為各大專院校學(xué)術(shù)群體撰寫國際學(xué)術(shù)論文提供了相當(dāng)?shù)慕梃b。
It is well.known that writing doctoral dissertation in English is an uphilltask for a wide majority of non-native speakers of English;however,it isrelatively less well.known that this task is equally arduous and painful for evennative speakers of English,or for that matter,speakers of any language.Inaddition to the linguistic difficulties,most writers of research dissertations oftenface difficulties of handling conventions of writing these rather longish pieces ofresearch reports.
One of the major problems many of these researchers face is the mismatchbetween“what they promise”in the introductory sections and“what theydeliver”in the final sections of their theses.The research reported in this workdeals with this important issue,which is often ignored in most research writingundertakings.It is an issue which is rarely,if ever,explicitly raised,and isoften not even implicitly understood by the participants in this scholarly activity.In this respect,this book undertakes to demystify one of the most importantissues in doctoral research writing. The study reported here is informative,comprehensive,and insightful.Itfocuses on the research writing experiences of a number of Chinese writers of research dissertations。the trials,tribulations,and sometimes rewarding experiences of some of them,including a number of teachers who supervisethem.The book,in my view,should be of great value to all those interested in research writing,either as non-initiated novice writers,experienced teachers or supervisors of doctoral work.

As illustrated in the above excerpt,Rogoff’S notion is built upon theassumption that performing the act or interacting along with the practitionerSguidance should lead the child or the newcomer to the next goal of learning.Itappears to echo VygotskyS(1978)conception of zone of proximal development(ZPD)and scaffolding(see 3.2.2.of this chapter).The central idea ofguided participation is that learnerscognitive development is inseparable fromtheir social environment which affords them the context of participating in socialactivities of various forms with the guidance of more skilled practitioners whosupport them and facilitate their skills in using cuhural tools(Stetsenko,1 999).In such a theoretical lens,learning is conceptualized as the process ofguided participation whereby learnerscognitive development Occurs throughengaging in culturally organized activities with more experienced partners.Theconception of guided participation further extends the concept of socialinteraction by emphasizing the complementary roles of children and caregivers,novices and mentors and makes significant contribution to our understanding ofthe developmental process of learning though it fails to highlight the concrete characteristics of cultural tools like how individual learners internalize these tools while they are engaged in guided participation.
