语体变异的社会语言学研究路径、热点与趋势

Stylistic Variation in Sociolinguistics: Analytical Approaches, Research Focuses and Development Trends

本文梳理了语体变异研究的四个路径:注意力模式、听众设计模式、语境模式和说话人设计模式,发现语体变异研究总体上从单维度发展到了多维度研究,强调不同层面符号的意义连贯性,越来越突出说话人的主体性以及对语料的质的分析。论文指出语体的所有权、语体的动态观、语体研究的整体观以及语言意识形态的中介观是当前的研究热点,并对下一步的研究趋势进行了预测。

This paper examines the strengths and inadequacies of four approaches to stylistic variation, i. e., Attention to Speech Approach, Audience Design Approach, Situational Approach and Speaker Design Approach, and points out that relevant research has developed from unidimensionality to multidimensionality, emphasizing the meaning coherence at different semiotic levels. Increasing attention is being paid to speaker agency and the qualitative treatment of data.This paper also discusses some current research focuses in the area, including style ownership, the dynamic view on style, the integrated approach to stylistic variation, and the mediating role of language ideology. Future research projects are predicted.
