语料库研究可以为语言描述的不同领域提供重要的见解。本文从语篇语言学的角度来描述英语，并透视man、move、thing等一般名词的“支持功能”。支持功能捕捉了在给定的上下文中使用一般名词来适当地呈现信息的各种方式。具体从“强调”、“传递信息”和"介绍“三个方面论述了支持功能。本文从一个更理论化的角度出发，主张将模式语法与语篇语言学相结合。
Corpus research can provide important insights into different areas of language description. The present paper takes a textlinguistic approach to the description of English and puts into perspective the 'support function' of general nouns such as man, move and thing. The support function captures various ways in which general nouns are used to present information appropriately in a given context. Specifically, three aspects of the support function are discussed: 'giving emphasis', 'adding information in passing' and 'providing an introduction'. From a more theoretical point of view, the present paper argues for an integration of the pattern grammar approach with a textlinguistic perspective.
