摘要
本文考察了20篇书面叙事体材料中不同类型的人物指称成分在语篇中的分布情况,并引进"交际事件"的"时空组织"理论从叙事体语篇的结构揭示指称成分的语篇功能。本文认为,以时空组织为标记的所述事件作为叙事语篇的基本单位具有心理现实性。以完整的叙事语篇中的所述事件为依据总结了叙事语篇的结构模型,认为叙事语篇是一个由若干所述事件组成的所述事件群。文章从语篇结构角度分析了书面叙事语篇中人物指称的语篇功能表现,发现代词指称一般用于所述事件群的"非群首"位置,更准确的说是语篇句链之中;从功能的角度看,话题位置的代词指称用来把语篇句组成同一时空域下的话题链,多用来追踪回指故事人物。不定指的带有表示人物描写和人物活动修饰成分的名词指称常出现在语篇所述事件群之首;从功能的角度看,它主要用于引入新的指称对象或者再次引入之前提及过的指称对象,有时标示一个新的自然段落的开始。而其他的名词指称形式一般不出现在篇首,它们的语篇功能相似,都具有命名和追踪人物角色的功能。
The paper examines the distribution and function of person-reference in Chinese written narratives.A total of 20 sample texts has been analyzed.The analytic framework involves spatiotemporal organization about the communicative event.It is assumed that spatiotemporal organization is psychologically real.The overall narrative structure is also examined.It is proposed that narratives can be described as event groups which are in turn composed of a series of described events.By analyzing the discourse functional performance of person-reference in written narratives,it is found that pronoun-reference is generally placed in the non-initial position of a described event group,more accurately,in the middle of discourse-sentence chain.From a functional perspective,the pronoun-reference in topic position is always used to organize discourse sentences as a topic chain under the same scope of time and space,in order to refer back to the person in the story.
