说修辞方法一种——“改字”

On One of Rhetoric——"Transformation of Chinese Characters"

"改字"是一种通过故意写错字或形体怪异之字来暗示寓意的修辞方法。作为修辞现象至今未见有人专门研究,却有人否认"改字"是一种修辞现象。改字与拆字同属于谜语中"体目文字"一类。表现形式的特点大同小异,寓意特点本质相同,理应有同样的修辞资格和修辞地位。忽视乃至不认为"改字"是一种修辞现象,不仅是不恰当的,而且是不科学的。

Substitution herein refers to the rhetorical device that connotates by purposeful use of wrong or ＂freak＂ words. No research paper has been found on record, but it occurs that substitution is denied as a device. The present paper holds the view that substitution deserves the rhetorical qualification and status enjoyed by Splitting since they are more identical than different in terms of form and ways of connotation. They are subdued under the same category： ag/de-gregation, in the making of conundrum. It is unscientific as well as inappropriate to neglect , or even , deny , substitution as a kind of rhetorical device.
