摘　　要：语篇局部注意焦点保持与更新及其指称形式的选择是影响语篇局部连贯性的两个重要方面。本文运用基于向心理论的四项原则分析法,对中国高校英语专业四级、八级考试的作文语料进行对比分析,从局部注意焦点及其指称形式等两个方面分析不同年级作文的局部连贯特征差异,从而分析不同年级学生局部连贯能力的发展性特征。研究发现,随着整体语言能力的提升,学生的局部注意焦点的保持能力有所增长,并且正确运用代词和定冠词的能力也随之提高。Retaining or shifting of the local focus of attention in a discourse and its choice of referring ex-pressions are two important factors which may affect the local coherence in that discourse .By making a com-parative analysis of the two factors mentioned above between TEM 4 and TEM8 compositions of Chinese univer-sity English majors and by applying Four Principle Model based on Centering Theory , the study tends to ex-plore differences in local coherence features between the compositions at different levels , which helps find out the developmental features of students ’ ability in achieving local coherence .Results show that as students ’ language proficiency improves , their ability of retaining the local focus of attention develops , and their ability of using properly pronouns and definite articles improves as well .
