“文革”语言特征研究述评

A Review of Studies on Cultural Revolution Language Features

目前学界"文革"语言研究主要涉及其修辞特征、语言风格特征、语用特征以及性别语言特征等。这些特征是"文革"语言的区别性特征,其根源是当时特定的社会和政治环境以及群众的特定心理状况。"文革"语言镌刻着特殊的文化印记,具有格式化、刻板化、标准化、粗野化的特征,这种语言固然通俗易懂、平白上口,然而强烈的政治色彩遮蔽了语言使用者的个体情感,因而语言内涵日益苍白,表意功能日益弱化,语言活力日益萎缩。

Previous research on Cultural Revolution language involves its rhetoric, stylistics, pragmatics and gender language and mass-psychological features which are its defining features rooted in the special social, political environment of that time. The conclusion of the research shows that as a social cuhural phenomenon in a specific period of time, Cultural Revolution language is engraved with a special cultural mark of formatted, stereotyped, standardized and brutish characteristics. Such language is certainly easy to understand, but strong political overtones obscured language user＇ s individual emotions, thus it had gradually made language connotations pale, language expression function powerless, language vitality shrinking.
