從段落到篇章 : 學術寫作析論技巧

目前市面可見的論文寫作書籍，均以研究為主軸，寫作為輔，從選擇研究方向、資料蒐集的方法、圖書館與工具書的使用，乃至論文格式等，無所不包。然而，大部分人即使參考了這些論文寫作書，甚或上過研究方法課，依然有「不知如何下筆」，或是「不知這樣寫好不好」的困擾。

其實，寫作是用來表達自我思想感受的方式，是用語言文字去闡述自我與世界的關連，表現對世界的理解。因此，在進入寫作的世界時，我們應先認識四種寫作上最常用的表達類型：描寫、敘述、說明、議論。雖然這四種類型是最基本的寫作方法，但在意念組織、行文佈局、陳述修辭上，卻各有不同的重點與寫作技巧，值得玩味再三。

除了基本的描寫、敘 述外，本書還特別針對說明、議論兩種類型，再細分 為分析、比較對照、定義、分類、舉例、評論等幾 種析論方式，說明寫作概念、寫作策略，輔 以討論練習。讀者在書寫學術報告及論文時，可端視自己所要論述的中心意念及文章架構，選擇適合的析論方式，或是單以一個段落、數個段落乃至一個篇章，加以交互運用這些析論技巧組織成文，相信更能寫出條理分明、絲絲入扣的絕佳文章。
