Subsequent Choice

The double predicate structures in English are examples of rhetorical use of language. The differentiation between the distinctive double predicate structure “verb + adjective” and the normal predicate structure “verb + adverb” and the subsequent choice in specific contexts is thus not only a matter of grammar rules on the surface, but, more substantively, a matter of conscious use of rhetorical language. The survey conducted among college English teachers in China into their differentiation between “verb + adjective” and “verb + adverb” showed that most respondents didn’t distinguish very well the differing expressive effects caused by the choice of the adjectives or the adjectives’ derivative adverbs in these two types of structures, and that the majority of the respondents had difficulty in making proper choices between them for specific contexts. Since the identification of a language structure is the prerequisite for its appropriate use, due attention in English teaching and learning should be paid to the delicate differences among similar language items and to their differing expressive effects to cultivate awareness and competence of conscious use of rhetorical language, enhancing overall language performance.

As it is known to the world, there are conflicts and contradictions of ideology between China and some Western nations. Therefore, it is vital for English teachers to distinguish derogatory ideas from the Western ideology，guised under the cover of course book in the course of teaching.

The author of the paper puts forward three textual analysis modes to expose the ideologies, i.e. first, plot mode for fictional text; second, thematic mode for non-fictional one; third, qualitative mode for a mixed genre of fictional and non-fictional text. The three modes can be viewed as complementary, which can be used either together or separately depending upon the situation.
