van Dijk语境视角下小说语篇口头禅的修辞研究

A Rhetorical Study of Koutouchanin Literary Works from the Perspective of van Dijk's Theory of Context

运用van Dijk的语境理论,通过个案分析法考察了小说语篇中口头禅的使用特点。研究发现:(1)小说语篇会征用口头禅作为作者意图表现的一种特有方式。(2)社会文化语境决定了小说人物使用什么口头禅和为何使用口头禅。口头禅的发生机制受语境制约,作者通过对口头禅的操控公开表达他对社会现实的态度和批评。(3)口头禅在语用环境中的创造性应用对扁型人物形象刻画和对小说主题的升华都有着积极的作用。

The paper explores the pragmatic characteristics of Koutouchan, the Chinese equivalent of pet phrase, in literary works in terms of van Dijk＇s Theory of Context. Socio cultural context determines what kind of Koutouchan and how it is produced by a particular figure in a literary work. The operating mechanism of Koutouchan is subject to its context by which the author manipulates the Koutouchan to ex plicitly communicate his attitude and critique about social realities. Finally, the creative use of Koutouchan plays a positive role in portraying the flat figures and deepening the theme.
