法典修改的语用修辞学思考——以中国宪法为例

Legal Text Revision from the Perspective of Pragmastylistics——Taking the Chinese Constitution for Example

法典修改是一种修辞现象,又是一种言语行为,更是一种语用修辞活动。哈贝马斯规范语用学理论(言语行为双重结构论)与陈望道"修辞学的功用观"均对法典修改有积极意义。中国宪法文本修改这一修辞现象和言语行为表明,法典修改可作为语用学与修辞学"联姻"的一个中介。考察法典修改的语用修辞学理据,有助于推动政治文明和民主法制建设,也有助于语用学、修辞学的发展。

The revision of legal text is not only a rhetoric phenomenon, but also a speech act. It is even more of a pragmastylistic activity. The normative pragmatic theory (the dual structure of speech act) and 'the idea of rhetoric function' of Chen Wangdao are of positive significance to legal text revision. The revision of the Chinese constitutional text, a speech act, suggests that legal text revision can be a medium for pragmatics to connect with rhetoric. Investigations on the theoretical base will help to promote the construction of political civilization and democratic rule by law and the development of pragmatics and rhetoric.
