摘要 根據教育部所頒發的十二年國民基本教育課程綱要，溝通能力已成為台灣英語教學的重點。而在溝通能力中，語言行為的使用更扮演著關鍵角色。有鑑於教科書為台灣國中生學習英語的主要來源，檢視教科書如何呈現語言行為的相關知識有其必要性。因此，本研究的目的為分析「抱怨」與「讚美」在台灣國中英語教科書的次數分布及呈現情形，是否與美國人的使用習慣一致。納入分析的三個版本的國中英語教科書為翰林、康軒、南一。本研究以研究美式語言行為的相關文獻為基礎，計算並分類三個版本中「抱怨」與「讚美」的表達策略，另以百分比及卡方檢定進行資料分析，試圖比較三個版本的教科書與美國人在「抱怨」與「讚美」的「使用頻率」及「表達策略」上是否有顯著差異。研究結果發現，在次數方面，僅翰林、南一兩版本在使用「抱怨」及「讚美」的頻率上符合美式習慣。在表達策略方面，雖然三個版本皆採用美式習慣表達「讚美策略」，但在其他的表達上，如「抱怨策略」及「讚美主題」，三個版本並未完全採取美式習慣。甚至，在「回應讚美」上，三個版本皆未採取美式表達。本研究也進一步探討此研究結果的形成因素，如西方文化的影響、編輯者的文化背景、以英語為外語環境的文化教學、世界英語的趨勢、教師對於教科書的觀點。
According to the Curriculum Guidelines in Taiwan, communicative competence has become the focus in English teaching. Research has suggested that the employment of speech acts plays a critical role in one’s communicative competence (Austin, 1975). In the light of the fact that textbooks are the main English input for Taiwanese junior high students, it is necessary to examine how the English textbooks presented the speech acts. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the presentation of the speech acts of complaints and compliments in Taiwan junior high English textbooks to see whether the textbooks presented the two speech acts in American styles. There were three series of textbooks examined, Han Lin, Kang Hsuan, and Nan I. Based on the previous literature on American speech acts, the present study counted the frequencies of complaints and compliments shown in the three series of textbooks and then categorized them into main strategies. Those data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics to compare whether there were any significant differences between the ways these two speech acts are presented and the American conventions in terms of the frequency and main strategies. There were two major findings in the present study. In terms of the frequency, Han Lin and Nan I series corresponded to the American conventions. In terms of the main strategies, the three series of textbooks did not fully present the two speech acts in American styles. The present study further discussed the possible factors for such findings, including the influence of the Western culture, the cultural background of the editors, cultural teaching in EFL countries, the trend of World Englishes, and teachers’ perspective on textbooks.

dc.description.abstract (摘要) 根據教育部所頒發的十二年國民基本教育課程綱要，溝通能力已成為台灣英語教學的重點。而在溝通能力中，語言行為的使用更扮演著關鍵角色。有鑑於教科書為台灣國中生學習英語的主要來源，檢視教科書如何呈現語言行為的相關知識有其必要性。因此，本研究的目的為分析「抱怨」與「讚美」在台灣國中英語教科書的次數分布及呈現情形，是否與美國人的使用習慣一致。納入分析的三個版本的國中英語教科書為翰林、康軒、南一。本研究以研究美式語言行為的相關文獻為基礎，計算並分類三個版本中「抱怨」與「讚美」的表達策略，另以百分比及卡方檢定進行資料分析，試圖比較三個版本的教科書與美國人在「抱怨」與「讚美」的「使用頻率」及「表達策略」上是否有顯著差異。研究結果發現，在次數方面，僅翰林、南一兩版本在使用「抱怨」及「讚美」的頻率上符合美式習慣。在表達策略方面，雖然三個版本皆採用美式習慣表達「讚美策略」，但在其他的表達上，如「抱怨策略」及「讚美主題」，三個版本並未完全採取美式習慣。甚至，在「回應讚美」上，三個版本皆未採取美式表達。本研究也進一步探討此研究結果的形成因素，如西方文化的影響、編輯者的文化背景、以英語為外語環境的文化教學、世界英語的趨勢、教師對於教科書的觀點。zh_TW
dc.description.abstract (摘要) According to the Curriculum Guidelines in Taiwan, communicative competence has become the focus in English teaching. Research has suggested that the employment of speech acts plays a critical role in one’s communicative competence (Austin, 1975). In the light of the fact that textbooks are the main English input for Taiwanese junior high students, it is necessary to examine how the English textbooks presented the speech acts. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the presentation of the speech acts of complaints and compliments in Taiwan junior high English textbooks to see whether the textbooks presented the two speech acts in American styles. There were three series of textbooks examined, Han Lin, Kang Hsuan, and Nan I. Based on the previous literature on American speech acts, the present study counted the frequencies of complaints and compliments shown in the three series of textbooks and then categorized them into main strategies. Those data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics to compare whether there were any significant differences between the ways these two speech acts are presented and the American conventions in terms of the frequency and main strategies. There were two major findings in the present study. In terms of the frequency, Han Lin and Nan I series corresponded to the American conventions. In terms of the main strategies, the three series of textbooks did not fully present the two speech acts in American styles. The present study further discussed the possible factors for such findings, including the influence of the Western culture, the cultural background of the editors, cultural teaching in EFL countries, the trend of World Englishes, and teachers’ perspective on textbooks.en_US
