人物对话中的第三方身份建构--以《红楼梦》中王熙凤为例

Third-party Identity Construction--Take Wang Xifeng for Example

作为语用身份的一个重要组成部分,第三方身份不仅凸显了交际者的他者意识,也从客位视角展现了第三方的身份特质。本文基于语用身份理论,采用第三方身份视角,分析《红楼梦》①中提及王熙凤的人物话语,研究这些人物话语中所建构的王熙凤作为话语中的第三方的身份类型、策略及其动因。研究发现,小说建构了王熙凤作为话语中的第三方的五种身份;身份建构的动因主要是对于物理世界、社交世界和心理世界的顺应;曹雪芹善于借他人之口,塑造诸如王熙凤这样的主要人物,推动了小说情节的发展。
