法庭庭审中的直接转述与间接转述

Direct and Indirect Speeches at Court Hearings

传统的直接转述和间接转述研究主要关注其表现形式与内容的关系。本研究分析法庭庭审转述发现,这二者的意义和功能与其他语域明显不同。首先,庭审转述中,无论是直接还是间接,转述忠实性都是被预设的,话语参与者无法对其转述行为推卸责任;2)转述者无论是采用直接还是间接转述形式,其根本意图只有一个:利己,其视点也只有一个:自我。在这种情形下,直接和间接转述只是服务于同一目的的不同手段。

Past studies of direct and indirect speeches have focused on their forms and the contexts in which they are used.This study,based on transcripts of reported speeches at court hearings,finds that reported speeches at court differ in both form and function from those used in other situations. First of all,the faithfulness court reported speeches,whether direct or indirect,is presupposed,and no one can deny their responsibilities for them; Secondly,the purpose of such speeches,whether a direct or indirect is to serve the speaker＇s own benefit,and there is only one perspective： the ego. Therefore,court reported speeches,either direct or indirect,are just two different means serving the same ends.
