试论新中国成立后陈望道修辞学研究的重大发展——纪念望道先生诞辰120周年

A Major Development of Chen Wangdao’s Rhetoric Theory after 1949——To Commemorate the 120th Anniversary of Wangdao

陈望道先生(1891—1977)于1932年问世的《修辞学发凡》早已被公认为我国修辞学史上的里程碑。多年以来,学界对此书的论述颇多,但对望道先生在建国后修辞学研究中的重大发展还很少关注。本文主要依据笔者当年聆听望道先生在校内外学术演讲的笔记整理而成(其中有一部分未公开发表过),依次对望道先生有关修辞学必须创新的理念、如何创新的道路,及其进一步发展的发展变化观,作了较为详尽的梳理。指出这是望道先生对我国修辞学的又一次重大贡献,它对指导当今修辞学的发展仍具有重要意义。

Mr. Chen Wangdao’s (1891-1977) book Rhetoric Original that came out in 1932 has long been recognized as a milestone in the history of rhetoric. Over the years, very much discussion focus on the book, but very little attention has been paid to Chen’s major achievement after 1949. This paper takes the basis of the notes of Chen’s speeches in and outside the university, part of which is not public, and forms a few innovative points about Mr. Chen’s rhetoric studies. It points out that it is another major contribution of Mr. Chen, meaningful to the development of today’s rhetoric.
