修辞话语建构:自觉和不自觉

Rhetorical Dscourse Construction: Consciousness and Unconscious -ness

既定的修辞理论对修辞的定义,预设了修辞只能是自觉的行为,这在理论上不严密,在实践上更容易出问题。符合语言事实的说法应该是:修辞话语建构包括自觉行为和不自觉行为,同时存在着不自觉和自觉的分离、交叉和转化的复杂形态。

The traditonal rhetorical theory implies a mere conscious act of rhetorics in the definition of rhetorics. It is theoretically imprecise and practically fragile. A proper saying should be that rhetorical discourse construction must include conscious acts and unconscious acts and a complicated pattern of separation, combination and transformation between unconsciousness and consciousness as well.
