“身份焦虑”的话语异化表征——以《A&P》的库助文体学分析为例

Identity Anxiety and Language Variation Representation:A Corpus-aided Stylistic Study of A & P

以小说《A&P》作为具体分析实例,尝试借助库助文体学手段揭示小说主题"身份焦虑"的话语变异表征手段。结果发现,小说《A&P》隐含的"身份焦虑"主题在语音、语义、语法和语体四个层面均有所体现,分别关指主人公在情感、认知、语言以及人际四个焦虑维度。通过分析表明,借助语料库语言学这一分析手段,不但可以弥合语言学和文学彼此脱钩的本体缝隙,而且可以证明借助语料库手段寻求文学语篇主题分析与论证这一研究路径具有充分的实践可行性。

The paper takes John Updike＇s novel A ＆ P as a case study to exemplify how corpus-aided stylistics tools can be manipulated is the linguistic analysis of literary theme ＂Identity Anxiety＂ in A ＆ P. It is found that ＂Identity Anxiety＂ can be subdivided into four aspects （emotion, cognition, language and interpersonal communication） withphonetic, semantic, grammatical and pragmatic vehicles for representation. One point worth stressing is that the married between language and literature with the help of corpus can not only get rid of the ontological dilemmas for each, but also be practical and valid in demonstrating literary theme from a linguistic point of view.
