从系统功能语言学角度解析语篇连贯 ——以小说《傲慢与偏见》为例

论文摘要

语篇连贯在《英语的衔接》一书出版之后,成为一个热门话题。许多语言学家提出了各种理论从不同的角度对其进行研究。语篇是在衔接和语域方面都连贯的话语,它在语境方面是连贯的,因而在语域方面是一致的;它自身是连贯的,因而是衔接的。因此连贯的语篇必须体现两个方面:一是自身语义上的衔接,二是语域一致性。在语篇连贯中起重要作用的语域一致性依赖于语境变项的连贯:语场、语旨和语式。语篇中,语场由概念功能体现,语旨由人际功能体现,语式由语篇功能体现。而概念功能又由及物性系统体现,人际功能由语气、情态系统体现,语篇功能由主述位、衔接系统体现。因此,通过对语篇及物系统、主述位、语气情态等方面的分析,可以揭示语篇的连贯性。本文节选名著《傲慢与偏见》作为分析材料,对属三种不同的语域的节选从概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能三方面进行分析,试图从系统功能语言学的角度探讨连贯的本质、表现及其实现手段,阐释语域一致性在语篇连贯中的重要作用,进而揭示不同语域的语篇所呈现出的连贯特征。这也是本文的创新点和重要性所在。分析结果支持了理论假设:不同语域的分析材料呈现不同的连贯特征,这证明语域对实现连贯起着不可忽视的作用。本论文对系统功能语言学连贯研究的不足将是有益的补充,对整个连贯研究也注入了新鲜的血液。
