语境与语言变异

Context and Language Deviation

有关变异的研究一直多集中在对整个语言的表层特征的分析,而未能深入到其产生的深层原因的解释。本文认为,变异是交际者在特定的语境中,为了突出地实现某种交际功能而对其相应的语域的典型特征所做的暂时、故意的违背。变异对语境有很强的依赖性,一旦离开了特定的语境,变异形式也就毫无意义。

Studies on deviation has been concentrating on the features of the surface of the text without providing further explanation to its formation. This paper argues that it is to foreground some communicative function that communicators choose temporary and intentional deviated language forms according to the typical features of the corresponding registers. Deviation occurs in a specific context, in which deviated language forms become meaningful.
