摘要美国当代作家约瑟夫．海勒的长篇小说《第二十二条军规》是黑色幽默小说的经典力作，其荒诞的反讽效果和幽默的语言形式备受人们关注，但荒诞形式何以产生意义的认知理据却少有人问津。本文试图通过“否定”这一前景化语言形式的认知属性及诗学功能，借助认知语篇的文本世界理论探讨小说荒诞世界的认知建构，通过人物与荒诞世界“社会规约”的心理冲突解析他们的悲剧命运。本文认为，小说的荒诞世界不是无序的混乱，而是军事官僚掌控下井然有序的颠倒镜像世界。’ As a masterpiece of Black Humor Fictions, Joseph Heller＇s Catch-22 has been paid great attention to its ironic effect and humorous language expressions. However, few have been done on how various absurd linguistic forms make sense from cognitive perspective. This paper attempts to investigate the cognitive construct of the absurd fictional world via the cognitive properties and poetic functions of the foregmunded linguistic form -- negation within the framework of text world theory. The tragic life of the antiheroes is interpreted by way of their intense mental conflicts with the absurd world constructed by the military bureaucracy. The paper concludes that the fictional world of Catch-22 is an orderly mirror reversal plotted by military bureaucracy rather than a disorderly world out of control.
