“四只耳朵”:篇章研究的新模式

“Four Ears”——A New Model in the Study of Discourse

“四只耳朵”模式是SchulzvonThun提出的言语交际理论模式,揭示交际中一句话语所表达的信息内容。据此模式,交际中的每一句话语同时表达了“事实内容”、“自我表白”、“双方关系”和“呼吁”等四个方面的内容。本文主要讨论“四只耳朵”在语篇分析中的应用,提出“四只眼睛”模式,从交际理论的角度指出篇章理解的心理图式。

The theory of intercommunication, ＂Four Ears＂ Model, put forward by Schulz von Thun, is intended to study the information conveyed by an utterance in the course of communication, According to this Model, only when the participants involved in communication simultaneously receive the four aspects conveyed by an utterance, namely the content, monologue, relation and appeal, can they thoroughly understand the information implied in an utterance, Based on that, this paper is focused on the four aspects contained in a written text which is a unit larger than sentence. From the angle of the theory of intercommunication, it points out the four aspects to which enough attention must be paid by the reader in the course of their understanding of a written text.
