Lecture 2 Phonological Rhetoric and StylisticsStep I lead-inWilliam Somerset Maugham(1874-1965): “Words have sound, weight and appearance, and only by considering this can you write a sentence that is good to look at and good to listen to.”Leibniz认为人类的原始语言是根据拟声原则而创造出来的。
如:尽管语言体系不同,但是爸妈的发音却是如此相近。
“妈妈”称呼在英语中是mum,法语中是maman,俄语中是MaMa,德语中是Mama;“爸爸”,在英语也称为papa,法语称为papa,德语称为papa。
《论语·里仁》解释为“子曰:‘父母之年,不可不知也。
一则以喜,一则以惧。
’”,即“父”、“母”是模拟婴儿高兴、恐惧时发出的无意识自然呼唤声而误会成的拟声词。
(陈北郊1999)Step II Sound symbolismTwo large categories of sound speech: Consonants and V owelsThe description of English consonantsPhonology aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns, and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.Alexander Pope(1688-1744)“The sound must seem an echo to the sense.”语音和思想必须产生共鸣。
Certain sound clusters may relate to Sound symbolism or Phonaesthesia (语音象征,音义联觉,或语音感觉)---sounds felt to be in some way appropriate to the meanings expressed. Phonaesthesia occurs when certain sounds become associated with certain meanings, even though they do not attempt to imitate the sound.1. Length of soundHe claps the crag with crooked hands.[k], [p], [g], [d][æ], [u]短音很好地烘托出了岩鹰和岩石的刚毅坚硬, 传神般描绘了锐眼利爪, 凶猛强悍的山鹰高居峭岩之上而雄视八方的威风与气慨。
2. Openness of the mouthCrash, splash, splosh, vastpip, splish, teeny, weeny, wee, bit, mini3. Front, middle, and back vowelsherethereGloomy, boom, loom4. Voiced and unvoiced consonants[pip], [tit][bib], [did]5. Obscurity of consonants一般而言:响度越大,音长越长,所指距离越远英语语音的响度升序排列为:[p t k] < [b d ] < [s fθ] < [z v ]< [m n] < [ l] < [ r] < [ i u] < [e o] <[a]如:塞音(如/p, b, t, k/)多描述短促突然的声响和动作,如bop击打, pop爆声, tap踢踏, tick滴答声。
阻塞大的音会给人以力量大,响亮的感觉,相反就会给人以轻柔的感觉He rammed the door shut.He clicked the door shut.Clicked 的响亮度就显然比rammed 的响亮度大的许多.7. Phonaesthetic series[θ]: this, that, they, their, the, thus, then--- 指示性的代词、副词、形容词等[w]: what, which, where, why, who, when, whether…--- 强调疑问性质的疑问词[gl]: gleam, glaze, glare, glisten, glow, glass, glim, glint, glory…--- 光,发光I see advancing upon all this in hideous onslaught the Nazi war machine, with its clanking, heel–clicking, dandified offic ers …its clanking, heel–clicking: OnomatopoeiaAnalyze:Cl- : at the beginning of a word can suggesting sth. Sharp and/ or metallicClang: a loud ringing noiseClank: a dull metallic noise, not as loud as clangClash: a loud broken, confused noise as when metal objects strike togetherClink: the sound of small bits of mental or glass knocking togetherClick: a short sharp soundExample 1:A Rain Song (Clinton Scollard) :With its little patter, patterAnd its clatter, clatterAnd its silvery spatter, spatter诗人在每行最后重复响亮的/er/音,加上每行1至2次/i/音的配合,生动地描写了淅淅沥沥,滴滴嗒嗒如同音乐般的雨声,从而烘托出诗人聆听雨声的一番情趣。
Example 2:•Song :Hark, Hark! (Shakespeare)Hark, hark!Bow-wowThe watch-dogs bark!Bow-wowHark, hark! I hearThe strain of strutting chanticleer.Cry, “Cock-a-doodle-doo!”在诗中莎士比亚用了bark(犬吠),bow-wow(汪汪叫),cock-a-doole-doo (喔喔啼)等拟声词,还多次使用与bark,谐音的hark(听),大大增强了拟声词的音响效果。
Pope (English poet and literary Critics):一位杰出的诗人会使声音适应于他所描写的事物,形成一种声音的风格(假如可以这样措辞的话)。
…… 毫无疑问,这种音响效果具有了不起的力量,它能把形象铭刻在读者的脑海里。
Step III Rhetoric device:1. OnomatopoeiaDefinition:Onomatopoeia is the imitation of natural sounds in word form.For example:Someone cackled/ chuckled/ giggled/ haw-hawed/ tittered.1.1 Comparison of English and Chinese Onomatopoeia英汉拟声词各有各的习惯用法。
英语中的拟声词多半属于动词或名词,在句子中做谓语、主语或宾语。
如:But as the door banged, she seemed to come to life again.--- verb, predicateThe low whir of the spinning wheel spoke to him of warmth of home and his mother’s love.--- noun, subject“What’s that?”he suddenly exclaimed, hearing a rustle; and they both looked up.--- noun, object而汉语的拟声词多半带有形容词性质,在句中可作定语、状语或谓语。
杯筷陈设在个人面前,暖锅里发出嗞嗞的有味的声响。
《叶圣陶《倪焕之》)--- 形容词,定语她见江华噗呲笑了,自己也忍不住地笑起来。
(杨沫《青春之歌》)--- 动词,谓语秋风飒飒。
--- 动词,谓语可见,英语拟声词比汉语拟声词更加活跃。
1.2 Example comparisonWhee-ee-ee! Whee-ee-ee! The police whistles shrilled suddenly.“嘀!嘀!”突然警笛响了。
“啪!——一声响,那支象牙鸦片烟枪断成两段。
“Crack! … the long ivory opium-pipe broke in two.---拟声词对应She squelched barefoot through the mud.她光着脚吧唧吧唧地在泥地里走。
The door banged shut.门砰的一声关上了。
--- 拟声词转化The screeching of the brakes got on my nerves.刹车声刺激了我的神经。
Zigard fell asleep almost immediately.祖格德几乎倒头就呼呼睡了。
……可以听见汤河涨水的呜呜声。
…the sound of the rising waters became audible…--- 拟声词虚化2. AlliterationAlliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant in stressed syllables.Rhetoric effects增强语言的节奏感(这点在古诗词中表现尤为突出)Nothing is as beautiful as spring---when weeds, in wheels, scoot long and love and lush......什么也美不过春---车轮间茂盛可爱的草儿,把长长的身子舒展......诗中使用头韵,读起来不仅明快飞扬,且不禁让人觉得生机盎然春意勃发。
