低伏创作者的心声——论严歌苓小说语言的辞格运用

Aspirations of a Humble and Attentive Writer——On the Use of Figures of Speech in the Novels of Yan Geling

旅美华人作家严歌苓的小说中,较多地使用了比喻、拟人、夸张、排比、反复这五种辞格,扩大了文学语言的表现力。语言的背后,是个人经历、创作观念这些深层的内容在发挥作用;与语言并肩的,是小说其他要素,它们共同推进创作的发展。

Such figures of speech as metaphor, personification, hyperbole, parallelism and repetition are frequently applied in the novels of Yah Geling, a famous Chinese American writer, which expands the expressive force of literary language. Behind the language, it is her personal experience and creative concept that play the role. Other elements of her novels, along with the language, promote the development of her creation.
