基于认知诗学理论的指示语研究——以《丽达与天鹅》为例

Study of Deixis Based on Theory of Cognitive Poetics——An Illustrative Study of Leda and the Swan

作为认知诗学理论中的一个重要方面,认知指示语连接话语内容和背景,认知指示语把一个普通名词变成名词词组,把动词变成分句,从而激活了背景。叶芝在其诗歌《丽达与天鹅》中,通过使用大量的指示语,不仅凸显了其文体结构,而且利用指示转换精彩地跨越了时空,使其主题思想形象逼真地展现在读者面前。

Cognitive deixis, one of the important aspects of cognitive poetics, connect content and ground of a discourse. Its main function is to turn nouns into nominal groups, and verbs into finite clauses in order to activate the ground. In Yeast＇s poem Leda and the Swan, the large quantities of deixis not only put the style in the foregrounding but also presuppose the poet＇s motivation. With the deictic shift theory, Yeats succeeds in crossing time and space, thus vividly presenting his theme.
