1、英語碩士論文開題報(bào)告 　　在當(dāng)今世界搞科學(xué)研究，必須重視開題報(bào)告的寫作。如果不重視開題報(bào)告的寫作，即使是有名望的研究者，也不免有科研課題告吹的命運(yùn)。開題報(bào)告一般為表格式，它把要報(bào)告的每一項(xiàng)內(nèi)容轉(zhuǎn)換成相應(yīng)的欄目，這樣做，既便于開題報(bào)告按目填寫，避免遺漏；又便于評審者一目了然，把握要點(diǎn)。以下是英語碩士論文開題報(bào)告，供大家參考。 　　 　　英語碩士論文開題報(bào)告范例： 　　 　　題目：A Corpus-based Study on SyntacticFeatures of Business English Correspondence 　　 　　1 In

2、troduction 　　 　　1.1 Background of the Study 　　 　　China plays a much more important role in world economic system along with thedevelopment of economic globalization. Economic globalization not only accelerates our country seconomic growth, but also promotes the speed of international trade all

3、 over the world. Thereforeexcellent business communication competence becomes increasingly important as well. As one ofthe language media business English correspondence aims to link overseas and domestic economicentities, exchange information, communicate with each other and deal with business. It

4、plays anextremely important role in the frequent international trade. It is no exaggeration to say, businessEnglish correspondence is used in every step of business activities. 　　 　　The course of business English writing has almost expanded into every university curriculum.Both foreign and domesti

5、c scholars have done researches on business English correspondencefrom the perspective of lexicon, semantic fields, especially based on corpus. There are two majorlarge-scale corpora on business English. One is Nelson s Business English Corpus （BEC for short）accounting for one million words. The o

6、ther one is Poly U Business Corpora constructed by HongKong Polytechnic University. The Poly U Business Corpora are made up of three comparablecorpora of Chinese, English and Japanese business texts, the majority of which originate from thebusiness and finance sections of newspapers written in those

7、 languages, covering news and reportsfrom auditing and accounting to insurance and investments. Each of the corpora has more than onemillion words. It is accessible on line for searching key words to see a concordance taken fromPoly U Business English corpus, which is helpful to students and teacher

8、s. It is thus obviously thatbusiness English is quite important so that attracts much attention from linguistic researchers. Ithas been an overriding aim of this project to create a resource for researchers to help furtherknowledge of an area which so far has been the research topic of many scholars

9、. 　　 　　1.2 Significance of the Study 　　 　　This thesis makes a relatively complete study of business English correspondence from theperspective of lexical grammar theory and syntactic theory. It takes up business Englishcorrespondence as its research topic and aims to propose some feasible strate

10、gies in businessEnglish correspondence writing and teaching. The study expected to achieve both theoretical andpractical significance as follows: 　　 　　First of all, this study will introduce a new research method. Corpus provides a brand newway for the study of language. It breaks through the trad

11、itional method of intuitive experiencemethod and turns to the original analysis of natural language in order to provide a firm foundationand data support for language research in various fields. Traditional intuitive experience methodfocuses on personal experience and intuition, manual methods or in

12、trospective method whichcould acquire linguistic knowledge only from limited data of language materials. This method ofacquiring linguistic knowledge is not only inefficiency but also more subjective which inevitablyleads a effect on the accuracy of final result. However, corpus-based approach is to

13、tally different.Corpus can find the target data quickly by using computer software for scientific analysis, andovercome the limitation of traditional research on the subjectivity and one-sidedness. Thismacroscopic method can carry on a multi-level and all-rounded research on the basis of a largenumb

14、er of real data, and effectively promote the new theoretical model and research paradigm. Italso relies on computer science to achieve its powerful function in language searching, andprovides a new method in linguistic research for the majority of language researchers. 　　 　　Secondly, a clear under

15、standing of lexical grammar theory could be achieved. Language is atool for human communication which inevitably cannot do without meaning expression andunderstanding. Sinclair broke the previous rules of describing vocabulary and grammar in aseparate way. Therefore, a new point of view has been pro

16、posed. That is language should bedescribed by using the way combining vocabulary and grammar which opened up a new path forlanguage description based on a corpus. Then he proposed lexical grammar, and believed thatvocabulary and grammar are equally important, in which vocabulary is the starting poin

17、t forbuilding the language model. The key aspects about the origin of lexical grammar and thewholeness of lexis and grammar will be discussed in detail in next chapter and this study is basedon the theory of lexical grammar to explore the features of business English correspondence fromlexical and s

18、yntactic levels. 　　 　　Thirdly, after a relatively complete study on the business English correspondence, typicallexical and syntactic features could be worked out. 　　 　　Fourthly, feasible strategies could be proposed to business English correspondence writingand teaching. 　　 　　1.3 Layout of th

19、e Thesis 　　 　　In this thesis, the study will do some research on business English correspondence andmanage to summarize some common syntactic features of business English correspondence basedon lexical-grammar theory and syntactic theory. This thesis is divided into the following six parts: 　　 　

20、　Chapter 1, the introduction part is an introduction concerning the theme of the thesis,including a general introduction of the background and significance of the study and theorganization of the whole thesis. 　　 　　Chapter 2, a literature review is provided in this chapter, which gives out an over

21、view of thecorpus linguistics and business English correspondence. It first introduces business Englishcorrespondence and corpus linguistics briefly, and then gives a comprehensive introduction tothem which are also discussed here for better understanding to the field that the theory will beapplied

22、to. Relevant studies both on Corpus linguistics and business English correspondence arealso presented at the end of each part. 　　 　　Chapter 3 introduces the theoretical framework which contains four main parts: principles ofbusiness English correspondence, the application in corpus linguistics, le

23、xical grammar andsyntactic theory. Then Sinclair s lexical grammar theory and syntactic theory will be discussed indetail. In the end of this chapter, the writer will talk about the paper s feasibility. 　　 　　Chapter 4 addresses the research methodology of the study which includes the corpus-ba

24、sedquantitative and qualitative method, the corpus and instruments used in the study, the proceduresof the study both in relation to data collection and data processing and concordance. 　　 　　Chapter 5 is the main part of the thesis of which lexical and syntactic features will bediscussed and analy

25、zed in this part. Word length, sentence length, wordlist and some other wordfrequency will be listed and analyzed in detail. 　　 　　Chapter 6 draws a conclusion of the thesis, which gives a summary to the whole paper.Besides the major findings of the study, it also points out the limitations and dif

26、ficulties of thepresent study. 　　 　　2 CONTENTS 　　 　　Abstract in Chinese 　　 　　Abstract in English 　　 　　1 Introduction 　　1.1 Background of the Study 　　1.2 Significance of the Study 　　1.3 Layout of the Thesis 　　 　　2 Literature Review 　　 　　2.1 Studies on Business English Correspondence Ab
