庭审冲突话语中的“冲突性对话”与“对话性冲突”

A Study on"Conflictual Dialogue"and"Dialogic Conflict"in Courtroom Conflict Discourse

借助“对话性”实现冲突是庭审话语中一种重要的修辞策略。本研究以真实中国刑事庭审话语为语料,从人际语篇语义视角探析了庭审冲突话语中对话性修辞策略的具体实现形式,重点阐释了庭审各方通过人际协商和评价资源形成对话,进而实现冲突的内在机制。研究表明,庭审冲突话语中存在两种互补的对话性修辞策略:庭审参与各方不仅可以通过结构性人际意义协商实现“冲突性对话”,还可以通过由态度和介入资源实现的非结构性人际意义对话引发“对话性冲突”。此外,庭审冲突话语中的对话关系不仅仅局限于冲突过程的直接参与者之间,还存在于冲突发起者与冲突话语中出现的其他声音之间。对庭审冲突话语中对话性修辞策略的阐释和解读有助于更好地理解庭审冲突话语的本质和特征,揭示推动庭审进程发展的内在动力,而且能有效地指导庭审冲突各方认识争议焦点,为实质性化解矛盾纠纷,构建和谐的诉讼秩序提供一定借鉴。

The realization of conflict through"dialogism"is an important rhetorical strategy in courtroom discourse.Based on the authentic Chinese criminal courtroom discourse as the corpus,this study examines the specific implementation forms of dialogic rhetoric strategies in courtroom conflict discourse from the perspective of interpersonal discourse semantics.and focuses on the internal mechanism of courtroom conflict triggered by dialogic rhetoric,which are realized through interpersonal negotiation and appraisal resources.It is found that there are two complementary forms of dialogic rhetoric in the courtroom conflict discourse:one results in"conflictual dialogue"through structured interpersonal negotiation,while the other brings about"dialogic conflict"through interpersonal dialogue based on attitudinal and engagement resources.Furthermore,the dialogic relationship in the courtroom conflict discourse is not limited to the direct participants in the conflict but also emerges between the voice of the initiator of the conflict and other voices in the conflict discourse.The interpretation and understanding of dialogic rhetoric in courtroom conflict discourse provide an insightful comprehension of the nature and characteristics of such a discourse and the internal driving force for the development of the trial.It can also guide the trial participants in recognizing the focus of disputes,thus contributing to a substantive resolution of conflicts and a harmonious litigation order.
