摘　　要：在中国和西方文化中,"提供"是一个常见的言语行为。但是在这两种文化中,提供言语行为的运行机制截然不同。根据西方言语行为理论,英语中的提供具有请求和提供双重言语功能,通常由间接言语行为来体现。但是,在中国文化中,提供的性质和体现形式皆与之不同,因此,这些理论不能用于解释中国文化中的提供言语行为。在本研究中,我们对中国文化中的提供言语行为的运行机制进行探讨。根据实施提供的利益归属方向,我们将提供分为双方获益真诚提供、单方获益真诚提供和礼貌提供。我们讨论了这些不同类型的提供言语行为的特征及其体现形式,系统地阐释了中国文化中提供言语行为的运行机制。In both Western and Chinese cultures, making offers is a common speech act, but offers are made differently. Within the framework of the Speech Act theory, offers are analyzed as both requests and offers in English, and they are thus usually realized by indirect speech acts. In contrast, offers in the Chinese context are of a different nature and thus realized in different ways. The current research aims to work out the mechanism of making offers in the Chinese context. Based on which side of the interlocutors wins the favor of the profits when an offer is carried out, we divide offers into bilateral profit sincere offers, unilateral profit sincere offers and polite offers. We analyze the different kinds of offers and their realizations. We finally come to a systematic explanation of the mechanism of making offers in the Chinese context.
