民间叙事的结构形态研究——以递进结构为例

On the Structural Forms of Folk Narration

文章把民间叙事中结构上层累连贯、前后相因的叙事方式称为递进结构叙事,其独特性在于结构而非情节。递进结构表现为几个角色之间的循序渐进,一个角色继替另一角色登场处理同一件事情或进行同一行动。根据角色排布方式的不同,把递进结构分为三种类型:递增式、顶针式和连贯式,此三种类型都表现出民间文学的叙事逻辑。结构的分析能为当下民间资源的转化提供指导。

This paper addresses the hierarchy coherence and context - related narration in folk narration as progressive structural narration, its uniqueness being the structure rather than the plot. The progressive structure is the progression of a number of roles by turn, that is, one role takes place another role in appearing on the stage and handling the same event or action. According to the distribu- tion manners of roles, the progressive structure can be divided into three types： accumulation, anadiplosis and coherence, all expressing the narrative logic of folk narration. The structural analysis can contribute to the utilization of folk resources in these days.
