薛宝钗话语标记语的表征类型及元语用研究

A Study on the Representational Types and Meta-pragmatics of Xue Baochai’s Discourse Markers

元话语是语用修辞标记,是交际活动的需要,元话语反映说话人对双方话语行为的监控意识。作为元语用行为的产物,元话语研究为观察人际交流中的人物形象提供新视角。在“元层面”上分析《红楼梦》中薛宝钗的元语用行为,以显性话语标记为坐标,系联Sperber&Wilson的关联理论与Verschueren的语用顺应论,观察薛宝钗话语标记语显示的自反意识,发现薛宝钗会话建构方式。结果表明薛宝钗是一个元语用能力强、交际能力好的人物角色,在会话建构中,薛宝钗与受话人有较强的动态磋商意识。薛宝钗元语用研究对当前提倡的共情修辞有一定示范作用,彰显传统文化中的当代价值。

Meta-discourse is a pragmatic rhetorical marker,which is the need of communicative activities.Meta-discourse reflects the speaker’s consciousness of monitoring both sides’discourse behavior.As a product of meta-pragmatic behavior,meta-discourse research provides a new perspective for observing the characters in interpersonal communication.Based on the meta-level analysis of Xue Baochai’s meta-pragmatic behavior in A Dream of Red Mansions,Sperber and Wilson relevance theory and Verschueren pragmatic adaptation theory are combined with explicit discourse markers as coordinates.By observing the reflexive consciousness of Baochai’s discourse markers,Xue Baochai’s conversational construction mode is found.Discourse markers reflect that Xue Baochai is a character with strong meta-pragmatic and communicative abilities.In the construction of conversation,Xue Baochai has a strong sense of dynamic negotiation with the speaker.Xue Baochai’s pragmatic study has a certain demonstration effect on the empathic rhetoric advocated at present,highlighting the contemporary value of traditional culture.
