从顺应理论视角分析《爱玛》中的会话含义

论文摘要

比利时语用学家维索尔伦在其著作《语用学新解》中提出,使用语言的过程即选择语言的过程,理解言语需要考查说话人在相关语境中如何选择相应的言语以及选择何种的言语策略来达到其交际目的。本论文以维索尔伦的顺应论为框架,以英国著名小说家简·奥斯丁的代表作——《爱玛》中的主人公言语为语料,分析其生成及运行机制。经研究发现,女主人公爱玛在言语交际过程中顺应心里世界,社交世界,物理世界是为达到其交际目的而对语境做出动态顺应性选择的过程。论文在理论上扩展了语言研究的视野,拓宽并加深了对外国文学中人物言语的研究,在实践上提高了小说阅读者的欣赏水平和交际者的语言沟通能力。
