论辩风格与语言风格的关系——系统整合论辩风格与语言风格分析

On the relation between argumentative style and linguistic style:integrating argumentative-stylistic and linguistic-stylistic analysis in a systematic way

论辩风格被认为是有助于辩论者实施论辩的策略计划,以期解决对论辩者有利的意见分歧。论辩风格的一个重要构成要素是语言选择。因此,在分析论辩风格时,密切而系统地关注语言选择及其论证功能是至关重要的。然而,语用论辩理论尚未提供对论辩风格这一重要组成部分进行系统分析的工具。在本文中,我们将讨论如何利用"语言风格学范式"的方法论系统地进行语言风格分析,以及如何将这种分析与论辩话语的语用论辩分析相结合。我们的目的是展示这种整合如何有助于分析论辩风格的表达层面,以及这种分析的结果如何与论辩风格的另一层面相联系,即在论辩话语中实施的战略考虑,尤其是所涉及的论辩策略。我们用一个具体的案例来阐释运用的方法以及该方法在分析论辩风格时的产出效果。

Argumentative style is assumed to be instrumental to the implementation of an arguer’s strategic plan to resolve a difference of opinion in his/her favor. One important constitutive element of argumentative style are linguistic choices. It is therefore crucial to pay close and systematic attention to linguistic choices and their argumentative functions in the analysis of argumentative style. However,pragma-dialectics does not offer the tools yet for such a systematic analysis of this important component of argumentative style. In this paper we discuss howa linguistic-stylistic analysis can be conducted systematically by making use of methodological insights from the socalled "linguistic-stylistic approach",and how such an analysis can be integrated with a pragma-dialectical analysis of argumentative discourse. Our aim is to showhow such an integration could be helpful in analysing the presentational aspect of an argumentative style,and how the outcomes of such an analysis could be linked to another aspect of argumentative style,namely the strategic considerations implemented in the argumentative discourse and more particularly the argumentative strategies involved. We illustrate our approach and what it can yield for the analysis of argumentative style with a concrete case study.
