摘　　要：从认知语言学图形-背景理论视角(Figure-Ground Theory)对比分析英语松散句与圆周句标记性特征。英语松散句“信息焦点前置”构式将图形置于背景之前,符合传统的认知机制与思维模式,趋向自然而标记性弱,属于英语常式句;圆周句则有意违反认知规律,将“信息焦点后置”。认知主体将图形与背景刻意倒置,旨在加强图形的突显性与标记性,更能体现英语复合句法的严谨与文采,达到特定的交际、修辞或艺术效果。From the perspective of figure-ground theory,this paper attempts to make a contrastive analysis of the markedness features of English loose sentences and periodic sentences.The loose sentence construction of“pre-position of information focus”belongs to the most common English sentence patterns,which,by putting the figure in front of the background,conforms to the traditional cognitive mechanism and thinking mode and tends to be natural and therefore weak in markedness.English periodic sentence construction of“post-position of information focus”,however,violates the cognitive law by putting the“information focus behind”.The cognitive subject intentionally positions the figure behind the background for the purpose of strengthening the salience and markedness of the figure,which can better reflect the preciseness and literary features of the English periodic construction and achieve its specific communicative,rhetorical or artistic effects.
