<title>The Language and Cultural Influence on the Speech Modes of Drama and Xiqu

从英美戏剧与中国传统戏曲在主导性话语模式上迥然相异,探讨了戏剧戏曲话语模式的差异:一为发达的对话式艺术,一为优美的歌唱艺术。之所以如此,除了中西文化传统差异之外,英汉语不同的语音动力特征对曲艺话语模式选择倾向的客观制约也是不容忽视的因素。从语义学理论和信息传播理论的视角深入分析了语言文化对于戏剧戏曲主导性话语模式生成的影响。

The feature of Chinese phonetics-one word to one syllable-in great extent reduces the possibility of distortion and confusion of distinguishing word boundaries, and singing mode allows the effective ongoing of interpretation of communication.
