叠进故事初探

On the Progression Story

我们把那种层累式重复、渐次展开的故事类型称为叠进故事。叠进故事的独特性主要在于它的结构形式而不是故事情节,所以,这类故事往往只有场景,而没有连贯的情节,没有围绕“他”而展开情节的主人公。其中也有一部分民间叙事作品是有一定情节的,但它们的叠进结构的特点极为突出,故而一并纳入这一类别进行形态分析。叠进故事大体上可以分为三种类型:链接式;递增式;递进式。

The progression story is a kind of story that has no plot but has repeatability in the structure. With this characteristic, the progression story usually has scenes only, and no hero and the corresponding sequential plot. Some folk tales with the plot belong to the progression story because of the characteristic of superposition in the structure. Progression story has three styles, i.e. interlinking style, progressive increase style and progressive style （ two - way ）.
