《慈悲》的前景化语言研究

On Foregrounding Language in Morrison's A Mercy

《慈悲》是美国获得诺贝尔文学奖的黑人女作家托尼·莫里森的又一力作,极富感染力和艺术表现力。小说围绕"卖女为奴"事件揭露了北美殖民初期蓄奴制对黑人的残害。在《慈悲》中,莫里森借助偏离和显耀等前景化语言手段,突显了黑人悲惨的命运,有效地表达和深化了主题。

A Mercy is another great work by Toni Morrison who is the first black female American writer receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature. A Mercy is rich in expression and unique in artistic style. Based on the event of ＂selling daughter as slave＂, it reveals severe persecution of slavery on the black during the early Colonial period in North America. In A Mercy, the successful use of foregrounding methods like deviation and prominence highlights the miserable life of the black and effectively expresses and advances themes.
