语音的“象似性”及其在语篇中的作用

Sound Iconicity and Its Functions in Discourses

语音“象似性”分为三类“单音、音组、象声词。它可用于描写、强调、对比、创造新的意境,以增强表达效果;它是语篇边贯的手段之一,使语篇形连意合,富于生动性。

Sound iconicity can be divided into three types: the iconicity of a simple sound, the iconicity of a sound cluster and the iconicity of an onomatopoeia word. A discourse will get more expressive if sound iconicity is em- ployed to describe, to contrast, to emphasize or to create a new artistic conception. Sound iconicity is one of ve- hicles of coherence, though witch meanings can be in accordance with forms and the discourse will become vivid.
