关于文学解读中读者反应的量化研究

On Empirical Studies of Readers' Response in the Field of Literary Reading

文学阅读有别于非文学阅读。文学文本的特性在于其语言的创造性,这一特征给读者带来新奇和愉悦的体验。过去的语篇理论没有解释文学阅读中读者的情感反应。本文引入俄国形式主义的"陌生化理论"(defam iliarization theory),探讨从实证主义的角度研究文学,并且列举一些文学解读中量化研究的范例。

Literary reading differs from non-literary reading. Literary texts feature their linguistic creativity, which strikes and affects readers. Traditional text theory fails to account for readers＇ affective response in literary reading. In this article, the Defamiliarization Theory of Russian Formalism is reviewed; the empirical paradigm of literary study is explored, exemplified by some quantitative research of readers＇ response to literary texts.
