从话题同一的角度解读《狂人日记》的连贯性

The Coherence of The Diary of the Insane from the Aspect of the Same Topic

根据朱永生先生的理论,连贯分内部条件和外部条件,其中话题的连贯是内部条件的一个方面。本文从话题同一的角度分析《狂人日记》,得出的结论是:《狂人日记》虽然语言荒唐,思维跳跃性大,但全文紧紧围绕同一个话题——"吃人",所以《狂人日记》是连贯语篇。

According to the famous Chinese linguist Zhu Yongsheng, coherence can be divided into the internal coherence and external coherence. The same topic is one aspect of the internal coherence. By analyzing the novel The Diary of the Insane from the aspect of the same topic, this paper comes to the conclusion： in spite of the insane language and thoughts, The Diary of the Insane is a coherent text because the whole text surrounds the same topic： eating people.
