模糊限制语的情感意义研究

A Study of Emotional Meaning in Hedges

文章基于Lawler的社会交换情感理论,Spencer-Oatey的和谐管理模式,Martin的评价理论,探究模糊限制语的不同情感实现方式。文章将模糊限制语分为缓和型和非缓和型,并在自我归因型积极情感、他人归因型积极情感、自我归因型消极情感与他人归因型消极情感这一情感框架内分别对这两类模糊限制语进行功能分析。研究发现:积极效价方向上的情感主要是通过非缓和型模糊限制语的语势升级来实现。消极效价方向上的情感主要是通过缓和型模糊限制语的聚焦模糊或非缓和型模糊限制语的语势升级、表达认知不确定来实现。

This article explored the realization of emotions by hedges,based on Lawler＇s Affect Theory of Social Exchange,Spencer-Oatey＇s Rapport Management Model and Martin＇s Appraisal Theory.It classified hedges into the mitigated and the unmitigated,and analyzed these two types of hedges functionally in the emotional framework of self-attributed positive emotions,other-attributed positive emotions,selfattributed negative emotions and other-attributed negative emotions.It is concluded that positive emotions are mainly realized by the up-scaling of force of unmitigated hedges.Negative emotions are mainly realized by the focus softening of mitigated hedges or the up-scaling of force and conveying cognitive uncertainty of unmitigated hedges.
