摘　　要：计算语言学和语料库语言学的结合推动了数字智能技术赋能文本分析。通过统计方法来分析语言数据,能有效呈现大规模真实文本的特征。本研究为考察英语读后续写文本语篇连贯性的协同情况,使用Coh-Metrix 3.0从3个维度(连接词、潜语义分析、指称衔接)和19个具体指标分析读后续写文本的语篇连贯性特征,通过配对样本t检验分析协同效应;基于学生语篇知识调查问卷结果,对语篇连贯性特征和语篇知识、作文成绩进行相关性分析。研究发现:1)学生的读后续写文本的语篇连贯性呈多样分布,在3个维度上均有表现,但协同效应主要体现在潜语义及指称衔接中的名词重叠和隐喻重叠上;2)学生续写文本的语篇连贯性在连接词及指称衔接中相邻句子的名词重叠指标上与学生的语篇知识显著相关;3)连接词的使用是作文成绩的显著预测因子。语篇连贯性是高质量作文的判断标准之一,教学中除了强调连接词的使用,可通过强调潜语义分析和指称衔接等来丰富增强语篇连贯性的手段,提高英语读后续写的作文质量和成绩。The integration of computational linguistics and corpus linguistics propels the empowerment of digital intelligent technology in text analysis.By employing statistical methods to analyze linguistic data,the characteristics of large-scale real texts can be effectively presented.This study,aimed at examining the alignment of English continuation task,uses Coh-Metrix 3.0 to analyze the discourse coherence features in three dimensions(connectives,latent semantic analysis,referential cohesion)and nineteen specific indicators,and analyzes the effects of alignment through paired sample t-tests.Also,a correlation analysis is conducted regarding discourse coherence features,discourse knowledge,and composition scores based on the results of a student discourse knowledge survey questionnaire.The findings reveal:(1)the discourse coherence features of students’writing is diversely distributed,showing performance in all three dimensions,but the effect of alignment is mainly reflected in latent semantic analysis,noun overlap,and metaphorical overlap in the referential cohesion;(2)the discourse coherence features of students’writing is significantly correlated with students’discourse knowledge in the connectives and noun overlap of adjacent sentences in the referential cohesion;(3)the use of connectives is a significant predictor of composition scores.Discourse coherence is one of the criteria for high-quality compositions,and in teaching,in addition to emphasizing the use of connectives,enriching discourse coherence by emphasizing latent semantic analysis and referential cohesion can improve the quality and scores of English continuation task.
