摘　　要：中国英语学习者英语写作中经常出现的主语丢失现象已经成为困扰英语教学的一大难题。现有研究主要从显性句法角度探讨英语主语丢失现象,对其原因的探讨略显不足。认知语用学的相关研究则主张关注英语产出与构式语法及语用功能之间的关系。基于这样的考虑,本研究以英语主语丢失现象为对象,采用定量和定性相结合的方式探讨它的类型及原因。研究发现,英语主语丢失现象可以分为施事主语丢失和话题主语丢失:前者为显性语法错误,受汉语图式构式影响;后者为隐性语法错误,受实体构式影响。语境条件下英语主语丢失后仍然具有的可读性使这种现象具有很强的隐蔽性并且不容易被纠正。本研究旨在从认知语用学视角补充当前英语习得理论框架,引发对语境条件下可读性的思考并有效反拨英语教学。The English subject loss phenomenon by Chinese EFL learners has become long been an issue for English teaching in China. The prior studies have shed lights on the explicit syntactic side of English subject loss,while the cognitive pragmatic study believes that a single syntactic study on it will not tell the whole story with an ideal way-out. The cognitive pragmatic study on English subject loss holds that it is tightly related to cognitive mechanics and pragmatic function. As such,this paper tries to analyze types,cognitive and pragmatic motivation lying behind English subject loss through both qualitative and quantitative research. It is found that English subject loss could be classified as agentive subject loss and topic subject loss,with the former attributed as explicit loss and the latter as implicit loss. Besides,the former was affected by Chinese schematic construction,and the latter was affected by substantive construction. If the subject loss was considered under specific context,we can understand most of the meanings are accessible through inference. Accordingly,English subject loss phenomenon by Chinese EFL learners possesses readability,which can further explain why it cannot be corrected completely. The findings in this paper would replenish the present studies in EFL teaching,and trigger the follow-up studies on its readability.
