王蒙季节系列小说标点符号用法特征分析

Analysis of Characteristics of Punctuations in WANG Meng's Series of Novels on Seasons

王蒙的季节系列小说表现了作者一贯的语言狂欢特征,其中标点符号的独特用法增强了小说语言的表现力,使小说语言更加口语化、更富有节奏感和画面美,创造了标点符号与小说语言完美结合的典范。在这些小说里,标点符号不仅是断句的标志,而且使语句更传神,有时甚至跃居于文字之上,形成一个又一个以某个标点符号为中心的语流。标点符号一方面贴切地帮助语句精确地表达意义,另一方面又给语言增添了立体感,某些章节由于标点符号的出色运用而获得了意外的成功,使无声的阅读有了朗诵的效果。小说中一排排惊叹号使得语言高潮迭起,激情澎湃,无数的问号造成一种凝重、深沉的气氛,表现出作品的理性色彩,若干省略号的独特用法使小说庞杂的内容得以删减,疯长的语言得到控制。与其说王蒙特殊的小说题材和语言风格决定了标点符号的运用特点,不如说是那些具有强调意义的标点符号遇上了一位善于制造语言强烈色彩和夸张效果的作家,王蒙使小说文字与标点符号相得益彰,标点不再游离于句子之外,标点符号不仅是语言形式上醒目的符号,也是内容与情感的重要载体。
