新时代政治演说语篇中疑问句的语篇语用功能——以《习近平谈治国理政》为例

The Textual Pragmatic Functions of Questions in Chinese Political Speeches——A Case Study of XI Jinping:the Governance of China

习近平总书记讲话属于政治语篇,有其独特的魅力和个性化的语言风格,其中疑问句是习总书记常用的组织语篇的方式之一。政治演说中的疑问句具有自问自答和无疑而问的特点,是演说人在谋篇布局时对语篇构成成分进行选择的结果。根据演说人提供答语的方式,这种疑问句分为提供显性答语的疑问句和提供隐性答语的疑问句两种。这种疑问句不仅可以通过提问满足演说语篇对强互动性和强对话性的需求,还能发挥总结诱思、引入新话题及框定语篇等组织功能,体现了政治语篇的强逻辑性特点,从而促进演说人演说意图的达成。

The question in Chinese political speeches is characterized by self-answering and it is the result of the speaker’s choice of text constituents while organizing the text. According to how the speaker provides an answer, the question can be divided into two types: a question with an explicit answer and a question with its answer implied in it. Not only can the question in Chinese political speeches, through explicit questioning, satisfies the demand of strong interactivity and dialogism in speeches,but also it has the summarizing-thought provoking, introducing new topics, and framing functions to embody the strong logicality in political speeches. Therefore, the question in Chinese political speeches is a good way to facilitate the achievement of the speaker’s purposes.
