语言变革与五四小说叙事“向内转”的实现

Language Change and Realization of “Inward” Description of Novel Narration in the May 4th Period

白话代替文言的文学语言变革对五四小说叙事"向内转"的实现具有重要意义。使用文言还是白话直接制约着"内面"书写所能达到的深广度,白话为现代小说的"内面"书写带来了更为具体的、个性化的心理内容。同时,白话打破文言客观化的历史叙事者的叙事语调,使得抒情小说的叙事部分与抒情部分共同服务于"情绪",促成了叙事结构散文化的现代转变。从语言变革的角度可以更好地认识文学发展的规律。

Language change is of great significance for the realization of inward description of novel narration in the May 4th period. Using classical Chinese or vernacular Chinese directly restricted the width and profundity of inward writing. Vernacular Chinese brought new content of psychological description to modern novels. Also,vernacular Chinese broke up the objective historical narrative voice of classical Chinese,which led to the modern transformation of narrative structure to prose. From the perspective of language change,we can understand the law of literary development better.
