　　报告摘要：

　　As Halliday (1994: 106) argues, "Language enables human beings to build a mental picture of reality, to make sense of what goes on around them and inside them."  Our construal of experience is affected by a number of factors and thus the same situation in reality can be represented by different process types with explicit or implicit participants and circumstances in terms of Transitivity (Halliday 1994).  Erasure is a concept that is widely used in many different contexts in social science (e.g. Frohmann 1992, Namaste 2000, Barnet 2003, Ferber 2007, Baker & Ellece 2011, Stibbe 2014, 2015).  The concept of erasure used in this paper refers to "the absence of something important -- something that is present in reality but is overlooked or deliberately ignored in a particular discourse" (Stibbe 2014), and the focus of discussion is on how and why the writer does the erasure.  The paper will look at the impact language has on our representation of reality and illustrate how people erase something that is important in the process of construing experience, and this will be followed by the investigation of motivations (conscious) and reasons (conscious and unconscious) behind the erasure.  Finally, the paper will discuss the implications for the teaching of EFL and ESP writing from the perspective of erasure in the construal of experience.
