摘　　要：以剑桥BEC商务信函写作测试中同一主题下不同质量的写作样本为研究对象,对比分析高、低质量写作中情态系统的不同使用对构建人际意义、塑造人际关系产生的影响和效果。研究发现,在数量和强度上,高质量写作的情态用语饱满紧凑,将态度和立场贯穿全文;低质量写作则松散无序,未能充分主张立场和地位。在质量和效度上,高质量写作有效利用情态用语,通过适时明确的主客观立场、情态值和情态隐喻等手段建立全面专业、张弛有度的人际关系;低质量写作则迂回低效,情态失用和误用的情况导致立场隐晦含糊,陈述失信失真,阻碍人际意义的有效传达。情态系统使用的差异影响人际意义的立与破、人际关系的成与败。Taking writing samples of different qualities under the same topic from the Cambridge BEC Business Letter Writing Test as the research object,the building and shaping of interpersonal relationships in high and low-quality writing were compared and analyzed based on the annotation and multidimensional classification of modality.It was found that,in terms of quantity and intensity,the modality of high-quality writing was full and compact,and attitudes and positions were consistently conveyed throughout the text,while low-quality writing was loose and disorganized,failing to assert positions and status effectively.In terms of quality and validity,high-quality writing made effective use of modality to establish professional and elastic interpersonal relationships through appropriate subjective and objective orientations,modal values,and metaphorical modalities,while low-quality writing demonstrated implicit and ineffective use of modality,with instances of modality misuse and misapplication leading to implicitly ambiguous stances and statements of disbelief and distortion,which impeded the effective conveyance of interpersonal meanings.Differences in the use of the modality system affect the creation and dissolution of interpersonal meaning,and the success and failure of interpersonal relationships.
