摘要

小句关系类型理论是功能语言学中的重要内容，也是语法和语篇研究的重点。它直接关系到语篇意义的建构和理解，且在语言学领域中的应用已十分成熟，分析的结论客观、科学。英语文学简写本作为英语学习的蒙学读物，历来受读者青睐，也是语篇研究的热点。虽然目前有许多关于简写本相关的语言学研究，但基于韩礼德的小句关系类型的研究在学界还鲜有讨论。

本文基于功能语言学中韩礼德的小句关系类型中的扩展关系这一理论展开对比研究。首先确定英语原著《爱丽丝漫游奇境》及其余三本简写本的相关章节，然后逐一对比分析其在小句关系类型理论下原著和简写本在句际关系上的差异,进而分析造成差异的原因，以了解小句关系理论在简写本改写方面的应用情况。

研究结果表明，在使用小句关系类型中的扩展关系来比较分析研究简写本和原著过程中，延展的方法在各类语篇中都占据较大比例，尤其喜欢使用“and”和“but”；虽然各类简写本对原著的改写方式选取的方法都有不同，但是不论是选择详述、延展或是增强的方法，还是在文字表达的增减方面，简写本都选择忠实原文；在尽可能尊重并保留原著的基础上，简写本的作者都适量的增加语句来扩张小句或者选择多个简单句来关照读者的阅读水平。
