故事讲述的情感话语符号化研究

Emotional discourse in storytelling:A cognitive semiotic study

讲故事是一种特殊的叙事形式,通常以事件叙述为基础,以传达情感为目标。本文将情感话语作为故事讲述重要的建构资源,从认知符号学视角探究情感话语的生成理据以及情感话语在故事讲述中的符号表征逻辑,认为故事讲述是一种语义建构行为,由讲述者决定故事的情感聚焦内容并以不同符号化形式再现给受众。情感话语具有主观性和交互主观性特征,自我与他者视角在情感符号化过程中扮演同等重要的角色。最后本文以一则国家故事的讲述过程为例,展示符号化情感在讲述视角、表征层级与互文表达中的存在方式。

Storytelling is a special narrative form,typically based on the narration of events and aimed at conveying emotions.This study takes emotional discourse as an important constructive resource for storytelling.From the perspective of cognitive semiotics,it explores the rationale behind the generation of emotional discourse and the representation logic of emotional discourse in storytelling.It argues that storytelling is a semantic construction behavior,in which the storyteller determines the emotional focus of the story content and presents it to the audience in different semiotic forms.Emotional discourse is both subjective and intersubjective.The self-centered and other-oriented perspectives play equally important roles in semiotic emotions.Finally,using the narrative process of a story as an example,the study reveals how semiotic emotions are represented in narrative perspective,representational hierarchy,and intertextuality.
