基于图形—背景理论的唐代边塞诗歌意境凸显研究

A Study on the Artistic Conception Salience of Frontier Fortress Poems in Tang Dynasty Based on Figure-Ground Theory

图形—背景理论可较好地解释诗歌意境凸显背后的认知因素。本文从词类、句式、语篇三个维度探讨唐代边塞诗歌中体现的图形—背景关系及诗歌中意境得以凸显的成因。词类方面,动词和形容词在图形的凸显上发挥了重要作用;句式方面,问句、条件句及感叹句体现出图形—背景关系;语篇方面,唐代边塞诗歌诗篇前部分描写景色,形成语篇上的背景,并将重心放在诗篇末尾,突出语篇上的图形。图形—背景理论在诗歌意境凸显上有较强的解释力,是诗人谋篇布局的重要认知机制。

The figure-ground theory can better explain the cognitive factors behind the prominence of poetic meaning.This study explores the figure-ground relationship reflected in frontier fortress poems in Tang Dynasty from three perspectives,namely,vocabulary,syntactic structures,and texts.Furthermore,this study tries to analyze the cognitive factors involved in the artistic conception salience.The results show that verbs and adjectives play an important role in the figure-ground relationship and that questions,conditionals and exclamations syntactically reflect the figure-ground relationship in the frontier fortress poems.Meanwhile,frontier fortress poems of Tang Dynasty tend to focus on the end of the poem,which can be called the figure of the poem.The first part of the poems tends to describe the scenery,forming the ground of the poem and creates a unique artistic conception.Figure-ground theory has a strong explanatory power in analyzing the artistic conception of frontier fortress poems,and is an important cognitive mechanism for explaining poems.
