One of the discourse features is teachers’choices of anaphora in elementary classroom,the typical approach is to use"teacher" instead "I". Outside the classroom the teacher use the first singular "I" to express themselves.but entering to the classroom they use to the third personal "teacher" to express themselves.Classroom discourse where teachers change "teacher" into "I" is "the teacher said"body. So, What forms do "the teacher said" performance?Why is the "the teacher said" popular? What "The teacher said" body mean? How do we view dialectically "the teacher said " body?According to the collected corpus, the "the teacher said" body is divided into three categories:ustomary style, authoritative and caring style."The teacher said" body’s existence has its rationality, but in essence, it is a kind of the embodiment of the teacher authority.The reasons that the body produced contains traditional factors,our current education system and the teachers’personal reasons.traditional factors provide a foundation of "the teacher said" body,the current exam system is external factors of "the teacher said" body.teachers individuals’experience and knowledge concept hold a internal cause.In a classroom we find that teachers change the "I" into "teacher",leading to the loss of the first person. There are there functions of classroom discourse:"proposition function","social function"and "expressive function".These three functions produce special power relation. In the field of "propositional function",teachers’statement and evaluation become authoritative,knowledge and discourse are non-subject-oriented and non-person,teachers become curriculum spokesman.In the field of "social function","I--you" relationship transform to teacher--student relationship,teachers are in the control position,teachers obtain the power of discourse,so that students are in a subordinate position.In the field of "expressive function",the loss of teachers in the first person lead to the loss of "me",teachers lost the self-life experience, emotional experience, hiding the individual teacher’s words.Through interpretation of corpus.we should view the "the teachers said" dialectically, i.e. with an insight of its pros and cons.On the one hand,its existence has its rationality,traditional education laid the foundation;the reasonable authority of teachers ensure the rationality of the body;teachers make use of "teacher" identity to convey caring.On the other hand,"the teacher said" body exist some problems.it hold back the subjectivity of the students and make the teacher lost themselves, it caused the institutional relationships.for these problems,the teachers need to strengthen their consciousness and improve the ability of self education.dialogue teaching.teachers need to establish the inter-subjective relationship between teachers and students, at the same time, teachers should consciously avoid authoritative "the teacher said" and promote caring "the teacher said".
