石刻之文体特性刍论

On the Importance of Stone Inscription to the Literary Style

石刻是以石为载体,以刀代笔镌刻于石上的,与大地紧密联系的一种文体。石刻有一致的行文特点:作者署名必冠职务或籍贯,行文必署时岁月时日、书丹人署名,石刻纪实性最强等。同时,石刻文体有更多区别于其他文体的构成要素,从传递作者完整意思的角度考虑,石刻文体的构成在文本之外,大概还有石头、石刻存在的原始地理环境、石刻的刊刻时间、书法艺术、雕刻艺术等。这就形成了石刻的文体的综合性、直观性、文物性特点。石刻的文体性质,古来已有学者论及,拙文试图作深一步的确认与论述,不足处请方家指正。
