| Summary: | 本研究旨在分析高中生在英文寫作中如何使用人稱代名詞，並對學生使用人稱代名詞不一致的現象加以分析，以期了解學生使用人稱代名詞的原則及考量因素。
本研究採用質及量的分析方法。質的分析涵蓋：在學生作文中 (一)人稱代名詞的功能；(二)人稱代名詞與指稱之間的關係；(三)影響學生使用人稱代名詞的因素。量的分析則在研究：在學生作文中(一)各人稱代名詞與指稱不一致出現的頻率，(二)人稱代名詞出現轉換的次數。
本研究結果如下：在學生使用人稱代名詞時，除了基本的指稱用法外，語用功能的因素，及篇章結構的考量，都會影響對代名詞的選擇。而當這些因素同時出現時，學生往往會捨棄基本的指稱功能，因而造成文章中人稱代名詞不一致的現象。
本研究最後提出在英語教學上的建議：在課堂上教授學生人稱代名詞時，應從指稱用法，指示詞，語用功能，及篇章結構等四方面加以探討 ，以期學生能在文章中正確使用人稱代名詞。
=== The purpose of this study is to analyze the usage of personal pronouns in the compositions of senior high school students. It is a common phenomenon that different personal pronouns are frequently mixed up in a sentence or a paragraph and cause problems for readers to find the referents of these pronouns in texts. The study aims to investigate how students use personal pronouns and find out the factors affecting the choice of personal pronouns.
This study adopts both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The qualitative analysis includes examining the functions of the personal pronouns, analyzing the relationship between pronominal forms and their referents, and finding the factors to be considered by students in choosing pronominal forms. The quantitative analysis is done by calculating the occurrences of mismatch cases and shift patterns in the data.
The findings of this study are summarized as follows: reference is not the primary factor to be considered by students on selecting pronominal forms, although it is the basic function of pronouns. Pragmatic considerations and textual patterns are two additional important factors on the selection of pronominal forms. When these two factors conflict with the basic reference function, the students would sacrifice the latter. This results in inconsistent use of pronouns.
Finally, this study offers pedagogical implications for the teaching of personal pronouns. That is, pronouns should be taught from different aspects: grammatical cohesion, deixis, pragmatic usage, and textual structure. If our students can take these factors into consideration, they will be able to use the appropriate forms of personal pronouns, and compose a clear and logical composition.
