　　Bibliography

　　杨敏，2005年获得北京师范大学外文学院博士学位，现为中国人民大学副教授：硕士生导师。著有《多维角度透视当代大学英语课堂教学》、教材《法庭内外》（合编）、论文《立法语篇的逻辑功能的权力剖析》（《外语与外语教学》）、《立法语篇文化语境权力意志剖析》（《修辞学习》）、《阅读教学中功能语法语篇分析模式的尝试性应用》（《外语界》）。

　　《法律语篇权力意志研究》首先通过将法律语篇引进到批评式语篇分析的研究中，为后者开辟了一个新领域；其次，加强了功能语法与语篇分析之间的联系，进一步证实了功能语法的实践性；第三，证实了一种论点——语言表现权力，权力选择语言，只有当有权者拥有控制语言的权力时，语言才能显示其权力，它们的关系是互动的；最后，本书作者鼓励更多的语言学者投入到社会实践中来，同时也期待社会对语言学投以更多的关注。
