摘　　要：本文以Swales的语类理论为分析框架,通过对一百篇英语专业硕士论文的引言部分的详细分析,探讨了中国学生在转述语使用方面的语类特征。结果显示,通过选择一定的转述类型和转述动词,大部分学生能够积极地借助转述语这一手段确立自己的研究领域,建立自己的研究空间。但研究也发现了一定的问题。部分学生对于转述语在论文引言部分的重要性还缺乏足够的认识,表现在不用或较少使用转述语;较之其他转述方式,中国学生更倾向于使用"作者嵌入/转述动词"引用方式;中国学生局限于使用有限的几个转述动词,且大量使用一般现在时态。中国学生使用转述语的目的主要是增加个人研究的权威性,但缺少对前人研究批判性的评价,因此,实现语篇交际目的的力量也随之有所减弱。This study, following Swales＇ model of genre analysis, aims to explore the citation features of Chinese MA theses in their introduction parts. Through a detailed analysis of 100 texts, the study has revealed the following results： Most students have employed citations in the introduction part of their theses to help establish their research territory for the purpose of creating research space by the choice of specific citation patterns and reporting verbs; however, some problems have also been identified. Some students lack the awareness of the importance of citations by employing very few or even no citations. Chinese MA students tend to use the integral/reporting pattern much more than the other patterns. The students also show a preference for a limited number of reporting verbs, and a predominating use of the Simple Present tense. Chinese students tend to use citations as authoritative support for their own work, with little critical evaluation of previous research, and thus, the overall communicative purpose of the genre of introduction is not very well achieved through citations.
