称呼的另类现象——村民对村干部称呼的语用调查

Another Phenomenon in Addressing Forms——A Pragmatic Study of Addressing Forms Used by Villagers to Their Leaders

称呼是人类社会交往中首要的语言交流形式。通过调查村民称呼村干部的方式,并在此基础上对比农村和城市下级对上级称呼使用的不同,揭示了农村和城市属于两个截然不同的社会群体,他们对称呼的评判标准和价值取向大相径庭。之所以如此,与农村的宗族观念、风俗习惯和生活方式有密切的联系。研究同时表明,村民对上级的称呼不仅存在性别差异,而且存在年龄差异,年轻一代的称呼方式正在呈现出向城市化发展的趋势。

This paper is a comparison of various names used by lower - class people to address their upper - class counterparts in both rural and urban areas. It aims to reveal that because of ancestral ideas, traditional customs and their unique living style, people in rural areas have quite different systems in terms of addressing names. This research also suggests that even in rural areas, people of different gender and age will use these names differently.
