《儿子与情人》的语码转换与男女二元对立

Code-switching and Anagonism Between Man and Woman in Sons and Lovers

劳伦斯小说《儿子与情人》一个鲜明的语言特色就是标准英语和当地方言频繁的语码转换。莫瑞尔用方言来对抗妻子,而妻子坚持用标准英语,偶尔也用方言来讽刺、挖苦丈夫。语码转换反映了劳伦斯男女二元对立的哲学思想。

A distinctive language feature of Sons and Lovers is the frequent change of codes from Standard English to dialect or vice versa. Walter Morel uses dialect to show his confrontation to his wife, while his wife Gertrude Morel insists on using Standard English, but she also occasionally uses dialect to ridicule or mock at her husband. Code-switching reflects D. H. Lawrence＇s philosophical idea of binary relationship between man and woman.
