文体学1-7章概述
第一章有关文体学
什么文体学?
简单来说,文体学是一门研究语言运用的方法的学科;它是用来研究运用语言的风格。现代文体学有两个分支:普通文体学与文学文体学。普通文体学研究的是各种语言运用的普遍特征,而文学文体学则是对各种文学作品所特有的特征的研究。但是,这两种文体学所研究的对象还存在一些共同之处。见下表:
在《英语文体学教程》这一书中,对文体学的研究,主要是指普通文体学。而要解释什么是普通文体学就得知道什么是语言,语言的变体有哪些?什么是文体?文体学的特征是什么?
有学者认为语言是一种标志,是工具。语言经常会与编码作比,是一种标志或信号系统用来传递信息。人们完成一件事情不仅要通过肢体语言来表达而且还有口头语言表达,这样就有了语言行为与语言事件。说到文体学当然要提“文体”二字,文体(或文风)可以被认为是个人或群体在各种社会社交环境中运用语言的多样化。简而言之,就是文学风格。比如:“莎士比亚风格”、“米尔顿风格”等。文体学的重点就在于研究语言的功能。
第二章学习文体学的必要性
学习文体学有有助于更好的运用英语。因此,对于外语学习者,有必要了解学习文体学的必要性:
1.文体学帮你在交谈中建立一种恰如其分的感觉。也就是说,懂得在适当的场合说适当的话。比如你是一位总经理,在和一个很好的朋友喝酒时,你会说:“来,干了”!但是如果在比较正式的场合,那就得说:“我代表公司向全体员工表示感谢,感谢大家……为了公司今后的发展,干杯!”
2.学习文体学能提高对文学作品的理解能力和欣赏水平。对文学作品的评价有三个步骤:描述→口译→评估。描述占第一位,由此看来,在文学创作中,最关键的是描述。
3.学习文体学能帮你更好的进行翻译工作。文体学告诉我们英语的各种变体以及其功能、特点,因此,了解文体学能使我们的翻译更加贴合实际,符合原文思想。比如“油漆未干”翻译成对应的英语应该是“Wet Paint”而不是“The paint is not dry”. 在翻译过程中,应当注意所翻译作品的时代以及其语言风格,是古语还是现代语言,要符合语境,比如翻译一篇老旧文学作品,要尽量达到其“古”的意味,才能让读者更大限度的领会其思想。
第三章语言的变体
语言要用的恰当,就得看它的具体语境。语言有两种变体,一是方言变体,一是语域变体。
.一、方言变体
1.个人语言方式或个人语型
个人已形成的语言风格,比如“海明威的语言风格”、“莎士比亚风格”都自称一派。
2.现世方言
现世方言指的是本时代所用的语言,比如,有古英语、中古英语、伊莉莎白一世英语、现代英语。
3.地方性方言
各个地区英语的发音以及拼写等都会有所不同,比如英式英语与美式英语在读音和拼写上就有很大区别:ask (BrE) /ɑ:sk/ (AmE) /?sk /
4.社交方言
有不同社交群体,就有相应的社交语言与之对应。因此就有以下几种群体的方言:
①方言在社会经济地位的变体
②方言在种族中的变体
③方言在性别中的变体
④方言在年龄中的变体
5.规范方言
比如有标准的美式英语及标准的英式英语。
二、语域变体
语域所涵盖的内容包括以下几方面:
1.谈话或文章的领域
2.谈话或文章的风格
3.谈话或文章的要旨
4.对语域的理解
方言与语域这两种语言变体是相互依存的,因为在不同语域下要选择不同的语言或者不同的方言来进行语言交流。我们可以通过交流来了解对方来自哪里,她或他的社会地位如何,以及是什么种族的,所以语言变体也有其社会意义。
第四章语音类型
之前也曾提到过语言经常与编码作比,作为一种编码,语言是多等级的,而我们需要了解的是三种语言层面:
在第一层面(音系学/字系学)的文体特征
音系特征包括部分或断节特征,断节特征还分以下几种:拟声(比如the cat meows.“meow”则是猫的叫声)、语音符号、同化、叠言。音系特征还包括超音段特征:重音、节奏、语调、音高、停顿。
字系特征主要是对字母表、数字、标点符号、大写字母、标题、斜体字、图标等的应用。在第二层面(词汇与语法)的文体特征
语法特征包括句子类型(陈述句、问句、祈使句等)、从句类型(主语从句、宾语从句等)、组类型、词的类型(复合词、混合词,双关语)。
词汇特征有普通词趋向、词的暗含意义、词的搭配。
在第三层面(语义学)的文体特征
文本就是语义的结合的延伸。语义结合有两种形式:通过过渡词或短语、语法手段还有词的重复形成语义单元。除了语义单元还有段落、谈话形式、修辞手段(比喻意义、悖理、夸张)、语义规则都使语义结合成文本。
第五章正式或非正式语言
语言扮演着许多的功能,有观点的、指示的、表达的还有文本的。但是在众多语言的
处理过程重点在语言的构思与指示功能。谈话要旨在语言表达中起着决定性作用,要旨包括在不同环境下人们所扮演的角色与社会地位的关系。
正式程度指的是在交际中恰当运用语言的风格;讲话者与受话者所处场合及其二者的关系。谈话形式在英语中呈现三种常用规格:①头衔加姓氏的相互交换。②名字的相互交换。
③一个人用名字或另一个用头衔加姓氏的单向形式。比如晚辈可能会用头衔加姓氏称呼长辈,而长辈称晚辈则可直呼其名。若有一学生叫他的老师,可能是“李老师”,而这位李老师反过来回应“某某某”(名字)即可。
功能性要旨会在谈话时帮助理解说话人的用意:是教育?劝导?惊讶?还是解释?所以一定功能性要旨可以直击说话要意。有时在官样文章中有许多无意义但有听起来很重要的官方语言,功能性要旨就会有所体现了。比如有事实说一些人罹难了,但官方语言则是尽管发生了不必要的冲突,但是也只有少数人受伤。另外,正式与非正式也与演讲的环境有关。比如一位教授在外校进行演讲,他可能会精心的做准备并且在现场演讲时会非常正式的,但如果他面对的是自己的学生,那么这时候的演讲可能就不会那么正式。同样的,总统在演讲时也要顾及到他所演讲的对象,并且结合本国现实情况进行演说,所以是比较正式严肃的。最后,正式与非正式也与语音特征有关。
第六章口语与书面体
一般在口头讲话时,我们会或多或少带些噪音,比如“嗯,啊”之类的,而在书面体里则会出现一些黑色的标点符号。口语与书面体有许多不同之处,其中有三点明显的差异:
一、它们所包含的听众或读者的不同
一般来讲,大多数演讲是有听众在场的,演讲通过一些信号词或者提问来吸引听众,有时用面部表情来代替语言表意,而且能立即收到效果。而书面体一般不需要有读者在场,读者更不会有即刻的反应。
二、在语言表述清楚与否的不同
在对话中,对话双方要依托一定的背景知识和信息,有些话是局外人所听不懂的。
但是书面体一般不依赖于对语境的直接理解,需要读者去体会。
三、准备工作不同
从大体上来说,书面体比口语要更“小心”。如果记录某件事的话,那他必须要有一个对事件的主题有想法,接着有逻辑的将文章组织好。而口语尤其是在谈话中,是自发性的,而且在随意的变换着主题。
另外,口语与书面体在文体方面也有不同之处,体现在语法、词汇以及音系或字系方面。
第七章英语会话
语言是一项非常重要的社交活动。从研究领域方面看,会话覆盖范围广;从风格方面来看,会话可以是自发的;从个人要旨来看,会话可以是介于私人之间的谈话;从功能要旨来看,会话可以传递信息。而我们主要研究会话就是一般的非正式的、随意的会话。
要研究非正式随意会话,就得从会话的记录开始。一般受过教育的人,会用一些升调、降调、升降调或省略号来表情达意。这样的对话有几个特征:首先,它将难以表达的语言给表达出来;第二,它表示主旨的随意性和无计划性;第三,是一种正常的不流畅,就像迟疑一样;等等。另外会话还有其他两种形式:讨论和电话会话。
文体特征在语言层次方面体现在语法特征(如用短的松散的句子、难懂的和不完整的句子等)、词汇特征(模糊的表达、高频率使用习语或和大量的动词短语还有夸张的俚语等)、音系特征(多使用韵律及韵律和语调群的结合、停顿及变化的拍子等)、语义特征(语义随意的并且没有计划、没有逻辑的)。
文体学的发展史
文体学发展史 文体学首先来自于古代的修辞学,来自于亚里斯多德的修辞论。现代文体学创始人是法国文体学家巴利(索绪尔的学生),文体学的性质是一门结合文学和语言学的交叉学科,适宜于对文学和语言学很感兴趣的学生学习的一门课程。简单地说,文体学就是运用语言学的理论去阐释文学内容和写作风格的一门学科。帮助学生理解作品的深刻内涵和写作技巧。同时,激发学生开展批评性阅读,尝试建立自己的见解。 发展历程 西方文体学的研究可上溯到古希腊、罗马的修辞学研究,早在公元100年就出现了德米特里厄斯的《论文体》这样集中探讨文体问题的论著。但在20世纪之前,对文体地讨论一般不外乎主观印象式的评论,而且通常出现在修辞学研究、文学研究或语法分析之中,文体研究没有自己相对的地位。20世纪初以来,在采用现代语言方法之后,文体分析方法摆脱了传统印象式直觉分析的局限,逐渐深入和系统化、科学化。欧洲历史语言学和普通语言学在20世纪初发展成为较有影响的独立学科,与语言学相结合的文体学也逐渐成为一门具有一定独立地位的交叉学科。
现代文体学创始人是法国文体学家巴利(Bally,1865-1974)(索绪尔的学生),他借用索绪尔的结构主义语言学反思传统修辞学,力图将文体学作为语言学的一个分支建立起来,使文体分析更为科学化和系统化。巴依的研究对象是口语体的文体。他认为一个人说话时除了客观地表达思想外,还常常带有各种感情色彩。文体学的任务是探讨表达这些感情特征的种种语言手段,以及它们之间的相互关系,并由此入手,分析语言的整个表达方式系统。虽然巴依没有特别关注文学文本,但他们的普通文体学对于文学文体学的形成有直接的推动作用。稍晚于巴利的德国文体学家斯皮泽(Spitzer, 1887-1960)被普遍尊为文学文体学之父,斯皮泽的研究对象不是口语,而是文学作品。斯皮泽认为文学作品的价值主要体现在语言上,因此他详细分析具体语言细节所产生的效果,从而有别于传统印象式批评。此外,他提出了一种适用于分析长篇小说的被称为“语文圈”的研究方法,即寻找作品中频繁出现的偏离常规的语言特征。然后,对其作出作者心理根源上的解释,接着再回到作品细节中,通过考察相关因素予以证实或修正。受到德国学术思想的影响,斯皮泽将文体学视为连接语言学与文学史的桥梁,旨在通过文体特征的研究来考察作者心灵以及民族文化和思想澶变的历史。 学科历史 50年代末以前

《英语文体学》1~7章小结 一.关于文体学 本章主要是介绍了骨水泥与文体学的一些基本知识。简单的来说,文体学就是学习如何使用语言和使用语言方式的一种规则。在现代文体学中包括普通文体学和文学文体学。 这本书主要涉及普通文体学。普通文体学在很多方面都有体现,本书主要讨论一种特定体裁的总体特征。接着,课文简单介绍语言在不同时期的不同定义和在不同领域人民对语言的不同观点。并且,文章的上下文决定这语言的意思。语言在使用过程中表现出以下功能:概念功能、人际功能、指称功能和语篇功能,它们不可分割,相互影响。接下来是风格的介绍有四种:集体语言使用特点、个人独特写作风格、表达模式效果、“好”或“漂亮的”文学写作。本书倾向于了解第一种。即问题学的研究限制在特定场合。现代文体学一直在发展,我们得出定义:它是一门研究文体体裁特征的本质及规律。 二.学习文体学的需要 本章主要涉及学习文体学的重要性。 (一)学习问题学能培养人们对语言的敏感性即应该能分清在不同场合应该采取不同的说话方式,以避免不必要的尴尬。 (二)对我们理解外国文学作品有很大作用。因为文学创作中,作者往往采用违反常规的写作方法:背离与重复。这就牵扯到文学批评,对其“描述——解释——评估”,以此突出其作品的鲜明特点。这在文体学上被称为“前景化”。 (三)帮助达到适应翻译外国文学作品的效果。翻译时不可能直译过来,这是由各国文化差异决定的。 三.语(言)[义]的变体 根据语言的使用方式可以把语言分为两种:方言和变体。人们所处的背景和地位决定了他们的语言——方言。方言可以分为个人方言(如海明威用语方法)、时间方言(如古今英语用法不同)和社会方言(如男女用法不同)。而语域的变体可以分为几种:社会经济地位变体(不同阶层)、种族变体(美国社会黑白人不通用法)性别变体和年龄变体。 语域是一个语言使用者的语言反映,它是一种社会活动,即告知别人话里所包含的信息。语域有话语范围:特定场合(命令、法律等)与非特定场合(例如应酬性谈话)。有话语方式:口语和书面语。有话语基调:人及际基调(人们使用语言的规范程度)和功能语旨(说话人意欲)。总之方言和语域是相互依靠的,不可能有单独使用的情况出现。 四.语言的描述 先介绍文体学特点的三个层次: ●音系学和字系学。英语在音系学上有音段(包括拟声词、象声词、语音同化和重复) 和超音段(包括重音、韵律、语调停顿和语速)。这些特征的不同表达式包含了说 话人的不同心情。 ●有语法和词汇。语法方面体现在句子类型(省略句、圆周句、松散句和对偶句)、 从句类型、词组类型(名词、动词词组)和词语类型(合成词)。词汇方面有:用 词倾向(如抽象、具体、普遍、专有等)、内涵意义(与之关联的词)和词的搭配 (固定搭配)。 ●语义单元和语义角色。语义单元包括连贯(互指、成段、语篇模式、修辞手段)和 语义角色(增强语言丰富性) ●接下来介绍语言描写四步骤:(一)系统阅读文章写下认为重要的风格;(二)确定 语言特点的使用频率;(三)估计风格特点的重要性;(四)陈述语言使用模式,判 断该模式在文中的重要性。

Brief Summary of Stylistics General Stylistics is the science which explores how readers interact with the languages of texts in order to explain how we understand and are affected by texts when we read them. The stylistic mainly concerns about the examination of grammar, lexis, semantics, as well as phonological properties and discursive devices. It’s developing and not come to maturity now. According to different standards, the stylistics mainly divide into two major types :linguistic stylistics and literary stylistics. And there are many school of stylistics such as lingvo-stylistics, literary stylistics, applied stylistics, contrastive stylistics, applied stylistics and so on. In the basic notions of stylistics, the 通述 文体学是为一门教我们怎么更好的使用语言的一门学科,主要关注语法,词汇,语义,语音特征和表达手段。文体学目前是不完善的,处于发展阶段。

Chapter1 1, what is style in your opinion according to what we have studied in this chapter? Anwser1 , from the perspective of the content, the events and activities described ,style is saying different things in different ways ;from the perspective of the ways of expression used ,styled is same thing in different ways; from the perspective of the users of language ,style is different speakers using language in different ways; and from the perspective of the text ,style is the functions of texts for different purposes. Anwser2, the definition of style is the concept of style as choice .this definition can have at least too interpretations .one is that first we have a pre-existing thought ,and then we choice the appropriate type of expression to express it in language. The chosen expression is the style .another is that the choice refers to the choice of meaning. The choice of language is at the same time a choice of meaning and a choice of style . 2,what is the significance of studying the style of language in learning and teaching English? Anwser, the answer is that if we want to use language appropriately in different situations , we need to study style .as foreign language learners, if we disregard the rules of using what variety of language in what occasion , or fail to obey them through ignorance , language can become instead a barrier to successful communication . Therefore its necessary to have a clear awareness of how language should be used in different types of situations especially in unfamiliar situations. 3, what factors can result in differences in style ? Answer , 1, the different types of vocabulary create different images of the events in the rea der’s mind, so they can result in different styles.2,people living in different periods of time in history will also speak differently ,and that will result in a different style. Chapter2 1, explain the following terms 1),foregrounding: the stylistically significant features have to be prominent and motivated ,that is ,foregrounded. 2),incongruity: the linguistic features depart from the normal use of language ,breaking the rules grammar ,spelling ,pronunciation. 3)deflection : the linguistic features don’t depart from the established grammatical, lexical and logical rules and principles ,but have an unexpected high frequency of occurrence. 4),field; its concerned with what is happening ,including the subject matter,the events happenings,going-ons, the content ,etc 5)tenor: its concerned with who is taking part in the exchange of meaning ----the relationship between the speaker and the listener ,their relative status,their attitude,and their role relations . 6)mode: its concerned with how the interaction is conducted ,that is whether it is written or spoken ,or whether it is expressed by phonic substance or graphic substance. 2,question for discussion 2)in rhetorical series,the number of items can influence the stylistic effect.try to analyze the causes on the basis of social culture. Answer :different numbers of words can produce different stylistic effects in the appropriate contexts. Two items express assertion ,that is ,it is just this ,not that .In appropriate situations three items can produce ethic ,persuasive, and representative effect. Four or more items in a series

语 言理论研究 odern chineseM 2007.12 一、引言 功能文体学是以韩礼德的系统功能语法理论为基础的文体学理论(韩礼德,2005:9)。韩礼德的功能文体学理论强调语言功能与文学研究文体之间的相关性问题。他主张利用三大元功能——概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能在语言中的体现来剖析文本。1969年,韩礼德在意大利召开的“文学文体讨论会”(Symposium on Literary Style)上宣读了《语言功能与文学文体》(Language Functions and LiteraryStyle)(Halliday,1973)一文,至此功能文体学诞生。在这篇文章中,韩礼德利用体现概念功能的及物性系统对戈尔丁(Golding)的小说《继承者》(The Inheritors)进行了文体分析,并成为典范。在三大系统中,人际功能中的语气和情态系统、语篇功能中的主位结构在文本分析中也同样起了很大作用。国内学者任绍曾对密勒(N.Mailer)《夜幕下的军队》(The Armies of the Night)和毛姆(S.Mangham)《午餐》(The Luncheon)等文学著作做过研究。翻阅近年来有关功能文体学的论文我们发现,从上世纪末至今,功能文体学研究的成就显著,但有一个问题不容忽视,即盲目注重语言形式三大功能的分析而忽略了文学作品本身在主题层面的社会意义,把语篇中的语言特征与风格看作是孤立的现象。本文在借鉴前人研究的基础上,尝试利用功能文体学的理论分析20世纪美国著名小说家奥康纳(Flannery o’connor)的代表作《好人难寻》(A Good Man Is Hard to Find),希望再次验证功能文体学在文学分析中的重要贡献,同时也希望换一个新角度,重新解读这部经典短篇小说。 二、功能文体学的三大元功能 “功能思想”是韩礼德文体学理论的核心。正是功能思想把语言形式和情境语境联系起来,并通过分析三大功能来解释语言结构。功能语言学把语言的功能归纳为三大元功能:概念功能(Ideational Function)、人际功能(Interpersonal Function)和语篇功能(Textual Function)。三大元功能分别由以下三大系统体现:及物性系统、语气和情态系统及主位结构和信息结构。与语言的三大元功能相对应,韩礼德概括出情景语境的三个组成部分:语场(field ofdiscourse)、语旨(tenor of discourse)和语式(mode ofdiscourse)。受情景语境的三个组成部分制约,语篇被看作是由概念意义、人际意义和语篇意义组成的语义单位。本文主要从语境及三大意义的角度来分析小说《好人难寻》。 (一)小说的情景语境 语场:对话发生在一个刚从美国联邦监狱中越狱的歹徒和一位南方普通祖母之间,祖母希望通过对话挽救一家人。 语旨:对话的双方社会地位悬殊:一个是高贵优雅的老妇人;一个是处在社会下层的逃犯。但老妇人的生命掌握在逃犯手中。歹徒并没有明确的交谈目的,而祖母希望唤起歹徒的良知,不要杀人灭口。 语式:对话以口语形式进行,并随着形势的变化而发展。(二)概念意义中的经验意义及其表现形式—及物性系统在功能语言学中,韩礼德认为及物性(Transitivity)由六大过程组成,分别是物质过程(Material Process)、心理过程(Mental Process)、行为过程(Behavioral Process)、关系过程(Relational Process)、言语过程(Verbal Process)和存在过程(Existential Process)。为了便于分析,笔者把祖母和The Misfit之间的情节发展分为三个阶段,各阶段的物质过程、心理过程、行为过程的句子数量参见下表。其中六大过程中的言语过程描写最多,其分析将放在人际意义中详细讨论,另外关系过程和存在过程并没有出现,笔者暂不予以考虑。 物质过程 行为过程心理过程祖母 2 7 7The Misfit 6 4 0 从总体上看,The Misfit手里有枪,在整个事件中占主动,他可以在他的两个帮凶的配合下为所欲为。The Misfit非常明白自己占据主宰的地位。因此,即使拿着枪,他也可以非常随意地做其他动作,这就使得及物性系统中的物质过程占大多数,而行为过程是在不经意间流露出来的内心世界的体现。与The Misfit 相反,作者在描写祖母的表现时主要用了心理过程,其次才是行为过程,她很少做出带有目的性并对别人产生影响的动作。具体来说,祖母和The Misfit之间的情节发展可分为以下三个部分:第一部分是偶遇到她的儿子和孙子被带到树林里杀掉;第二部分是她的儿媳和另外两个孩子被枪杀;最后一部分是祖母被杀。 第一部分:祖母在回忆起The Misfit 的真实身份之后,She scrambled to her feet and stood staring。这一个本能行为表现了祖母的震惊,而这个歹徒似乎并不在意被人认出:The man said smiling lightly as if he were pleasedin spite of himself to be known。从这一行为过程中,可以看出歹徒在逍遥法外之后,仍旧蔑视法律、胆大妄为的内心世界。同时也嘲弄了美国的法律制度,我们不禁要问,在这样一个自恃法律制度非常完备的社会,法律制度在美国人心目中到底占多重地位?在The Misfit向祖母一家摊牌之后,祖母在这一部分中的唯一一个物质过程的动作,充分体现了她的无助:The grandmother said and removed a cleanhandkerchief from her cuff and began to slap at hereyes with it。手无缚鸡之力的祖母只能拿出手绢来拭眼泪。 《好人难寻》的功能文体学分析 □杜丽霞

《叙述学与小说文体学研究》阅读笔记 中文系97级黄海涛指导老师:艾晓明教授 叙述学与小说文体学是当代小说批评理论中的重要学说。二者均采用语言学模式来研究文学作品,着重在形式技巧层面上对小说的结构规律、叙述机制和文体技巧进行研究和探讨。二者运用于小说批评实践,有利于突破小说传统批评仅偏重于作品的思想内容和社会功能的局限,使小说结构和形式技巧的分析更趋科学化和系统化,从而开拓了文学批评的广度和深度。在叙述学与文体学研究的发展过程中,产生了不同的派别和理论。这些理论各具侧重点和长处,也均有其盲点和排斥面。北京大学申丹教授新近出版的《叙述学与小说文体学研究》一书,有别于国内早先出版的一些西方叙事学理论的介绍性论著,将叙述学与文体学相结合,对二者的主要观点进行系统评析,补充修正有关理论和分析模式。特别对两个学派之间的关系进行了梳理和探讨。 全书约30万字,分为上中下三篇。上、中篇幅分别对叙述学和小说文体学理论进行了系统评析,下篇讨论了叙述学与文体学的辩证关系,对二者的重合面:“叙事视角”、“表达人物话语的不同方式”作了重点论述,是一部对叙述学与文体学理论同时展开研究的学术专著。一 在前言里,作者首先从学术背景和基本立场两方面探讨了叙述学与文体学之间的关系。以此作为全书的逻辑起点。一般来说,索绪尔的结构主义语言学和俄国形式主义被认为是二者的共同源头。结构主义将文学视为一个具有内在规律、自成一体的自足的符号系统,注重其内部各组成成分之间的关系。叙述学与文体学或受结构主义影响,或直接采用结构主义方法来研究叙事作品。与传统批评理论形成鲜明对照,结构主义叙述学与文体学将注意力文本的外部转向文本的内部,二者同属形式批评范畴。 与此同时,作者也指出了叙述学与小说文体学之间的一些本质差异:叙述学的目的不在于诠释作品,而是找出叙事文学的普遍框架和特性。叙述学家注重理论模式的建立,注重探研叙事文本的共有构成成分、结构原则和动作规律,忽视创作主体的作用。小说文体学家旨在探讨具体作品中语言特征的主题意义和美学价值,因而关注作者所作的特定的语言选择。作者还借助美国叙述学家普林斯(G.Prince)对叙述学家的分类,以说明在叙述学研究中,也有部分叙述学家关注具体作品在“话语”层次上表达事件的各种方法,从而与文体学在“文体”层面上发生重合,这是人们经常把属于文体学的理论和分析模式归于叙述学范畴而产生各种错误的原因。阐明了二者同中存异,又互为补充的关系,作者在下面的论述中才好将叙述学与文体学相结合进行研究,发现以往研究中出现的各种谬误与疏露,引出自己的观点和思考。这一特色始终贯穿全书,在本书的正文部分读者可较为明显地感觉到这一点。 二 著名的法国结构主义批评家罗朗·巴特(R.Bothes)在其《叙事作品结构分析导论》(见《西方文艺理论名著选编》下卷北京大学出版社1987年版)一文中,建议把叙事作品分为三个描述层:“功能”层、“行动”层和“叙述”层。前二个层次均属于故事范畴,后一层次大体相当”话语“层。透过巴特的三分法可以看到叙述学通常涉及的三个对象:(故事范畴内的)情节、人物和(与故事相对照的)叙述话语。本书上篇“叙述学理论评析”,作者沿用巴特这一思路,首先对叙述学有关“故事”与“话语”区分的相关理论进行了回顾,然后对叙述学所关注的属于“故事”范畴的人物、情节进行了探讨。 故事·话语 叙事作品的意义很大程度上源于“故事”与“话语”两个层次之间的相互作用。西方传统文学批评中,对叙事作品层次的划分均采用两分法,即用“故事”与“话语”这两个概念来区分叙事作

And there is a touch of humour all through. 3单元 1 What are thethree ways of clause classification? classification according to constituents, verb phrase and functions. By constituents clauses can be grouped into SV(A), SVO(A), SVC, SVOO, SVOC. By verb phrase we have finite clause, non-finite clause and verbless clause. By functions clauses can be categorized either as independent clause or dependent clause. 2 how do we distinguish situation types? By according to meaning or sense of the verb. 3 Name the participant roles in action types? The participant roles in action types are: agentive role (doer of the action), external force (causer of the action), intrumental role (tool to do the action with), recipient role (receiver of the action) and objective role (the affected or the result of the action). 4What is a simple sentence? What is a multiple sentence? Directly/indirectly A simple sentence conforms to the basic clause structure SV(O) (C) (A). A multiple sentence consists of more than one clause. It may be either a compound sentence,a complex sentence, or a mixed sentence. D :nominal clauses function as S O C .I:relative clauses function as modified in NP and comparative c f as m in NP ADJP 5 What is the difference between a minor sentence and an incomplete sentence? Neither type conforms to the basic clause structure. But a minor sentence is supposed to be “complete” in the s ense that it is finished. An incomplete sentence never comes to its end because of sudden interruption or other reasons. For example, (1) Attention, please. (2) Help! (3) Going to the lecture? (4) Why are you late? Because I—Of the four sentences, (1) (2) (3) are minor sentences whereas (4) is an incomplete. 6 What are the major components of a noun phrase?What is the use of pre-modification? What is the function of post-modification? A complete noun phrase consists of four constituents: determiner, pre-modifier, head and post-modifier. The determiner can be an article, numerals, numeral pronouns; all the words between the determinative and the head are pre-modifier, whatever part of speech they belong to; the head can be a noun or a pronoun; the post-modifier is usually a prepositional phrase, a noun phrase, a non-finite clause, a relative clause, etc. Frequent use of pre-modification in newspaper headlines can economize space, and arouse the reader’s interest as well because pre-modification is usually short, thus cannot spell out details. This keeps the reader in suspense and kicks up their eagerness to find out. Pre-modification tends to be informal and appears in less formal style. Post-modification can be very long and complicated. Using post-modification can give enough room for details and for further information. Therefore, it is frequently used in more formal contexts, for instance, written language. Written legal English prefers post-modification in noun phrases, because the composer of a legal document must ensure that it conveys meaning exactly and explicitly, guarding against any possible misinterpretation. 7 What are the three basic factors in the formation of written texts? For effective presentation of information and language processing on the part of the reader, we usually attach importance to sequence, segmentation and salience in the formation of texts, both spoken and written. 8 Which type of branching is common in informal speech? Which type of branching is preferred in written styles? Right-branching is common in speech, in relaxed and informal presentation of ideas.A writer may favor right-branching and use short, simple sentences to represent a narrative style of simplicity, directness and intensity. Left-branching, however, is better adapted to writing because it is structurally more compact and logical, and it is usually more formal. Since subordinate ideas are presented first, postponing the main idea, readers often feel in suspense and try to read on to obtain the main idea towards the end of the sentence. 9 What is the basic phrase order?What are the stylistic effects of fronting and postponement? The basic phrase order in an English declarative clause is more or less fixed: SV(O)(C)(A), with A being mobile in position. The change of the order can make a particular language unit more salient. Fronting refers the movement of a sentential element from its usual position to the front, and postponement refers the movement of a linguistic unit from its normal place towards the end of the sentence. In both cases the elements moved are highlighted. For example, (1) Talent Mr. Micawber has, capital Mr. Micawber has not. (fronting talent and capital for emphasis) (2) A car stopped and out stepped the President of the University. (Postponing President of the University again for emphasis) 10 What is syntactic parallelism and its function?
