基于顺应论的冲突性话语分析——以美国电视剧《黑名单》中的对话为例

Adaption-Theoretic Approach to the Conflict Talks ——A Case Study of American TV Series The Blacklist

冲突性话语是人类交际中一种普遍而又复杂的语言现象。本文以Verschueren的顺应论为基础,以美国著名的警匪电视剧《黑名单》第一季和第二季为语料,探讨警匪之间的冲突性话语。研究发现,《黑名单》中的冲突性话语源自警匪双方对心理语境、社交语境和物理语境构成的交际语境的故意不顺应。其中,心理语境包括交际对象的心理期待和情感需求;社交语境包括社会规范、法律规范、交际规范;物理语境包括受话人、时间维度和空间维度。

Conflict talk is a universal and complicated linguistic phenomenon in human communication. The present research, based on Verschueren＇s Adaptation Theory, is intended to analyze police-gangster conflict talks, with the corpus selected from the first and second seasons of the famous American gangster TV series The Blacklist. The conflict talks in The Blacklist result from the policemen and gangsters＇ deliberate inadaptation to the communicative context which is composed of three ＂worlds＂, say, mental world（i.e. the communication partners＇ psychological expectations and emotional needs）, social world（i.e. social norms, legal norms and communicative norms） and physical world（i.e. the addressee, temporal dimension, spatial dimension）.
