摘要 目前有关提示对写作的影响研究多从独立写作任务或写作得分入手,对综合写作任务的影响仍是一个悬而未决的问题。本研究以全国各地大学生的综合写作任务表现为研究对象,采用计算语言评估的方法具体考察综合写作任务中不同提示特征对学生写作文本的表层及深层语言特征的影响。对议论文的两类提示特征和508份作文文本的定量分析结果表明:不同提示特征会对中国大学生的综合写作任务表现产生不同影响。具体表现在:1)不同话题域的写作提示使文本显现出不同的文本特征影响因素;2)不同任务说明导致学生在写作中采用不同的论证模式。 Studies of prompt effect on writing performance have so far mostly been focused on independent writing or the final writing scores,and have not clarified the prompt effect on integrated writing.This study,as an attempt to address this issue,using data from argumentative writing samples from China' s 'FLTRP Cup'National English Writing Contest,explores the effect of prompt characteristics on the surface and deep linguistic features of test-takers' integrated writing.Based on the quantitative analysis of 508 argumentative essays of two prompt characteristics(topic domain and task specification),the study shows that prompt characteristics have an effect on the textual features of integrated writing,manifested in two aspects:1)different topic domains highlight different textual features;and 2)different task specifications result in different modes of argument.
