摘　　要：传统的英语定冠词研究是在句子的层面上进行的。英语定冠词的语篇分析涉及语义、语用、认知等多种理论。词汇是衔接的手段 ,而理解则创造连贯。在语篇层面上对英语定冠词进行研究可揭示语篇衔接和连贯的本质。Previous research on the definite article has been conventionally confined to the sentential level of language. An attempt is made to put the definite article in the discourse/text perspective and to investigate the cohesion and coherence of the definite article in the linguistic, situational and cultural context. The discourse/text analysis of the definite article involves theories of semantics, pragmatics and cognition, etc. Lexicon is a cohesive device, and understanding establishes its intended coherence. The study of the definite article at the level of discourse/text can provide insights into the nature of cohesion and coherence.
