《西游记》取经故事文体与叙事结构分析

On the Story Style and the Narrative Structure in Journey to the West

从《大唐西域记》到《西游记》,随着游记文体的不断弱化,作品的叙事结构、语言特征等也在不断演变:从《西游记》取经故事的单个故事结构而言,其中的侦探小说、军事战争小说、神魔故事等多种题材因子交错转化,推动情节发展,改变叙事方向。它们在表达神奇多变故事内容的同时,又形成相对固定的叙事结构;西天取经途中的故事排列有序,环环相扣,逻辑严密,不容置换,是一个有机的整体。

With the decrease of travel notes style, the narrative structure and language features varied from Notes of West Area in Tang Dynasty to Journey to the West. As to the structure of story style, there are detectives, military story and fairy tales with different contents but a fixed structure, and therefore an organic whole.
