从语言适应论的角度研究电视连续剧中的冲突话语

论文摘要

冲突话语是一种十分普遍而且相对复杂的语言现象,它频繁发生在日常交流中。很多研究者已经对冲突话语做出了大量和广泛的调查,目前主要集中在人类学、社会学、心理学和语言学等领域,但是从语用学角度考察冲突话语的文章很少。本文试图引进Verscheren的语言顺应论,并以此为框架深入探讨引起冲突话语的原因。根据Verscheren的理论,语言的使用是一个不断进行选择的过程,语言使用者只有在交际过程中不断对语境做出动态顺应,才能完成交际目的。人们在交际过程中需要对三个方面做出适应：物理世界、社交世界和精神世界。本文认为冲突话语之所以产生是因为交际双方忽视了对物理世界中时间、地点及非语言因素的顺应,对社交世界中文化价值、信仰、交际规则等的顺应,或者是忽视了对心理世界中认知和情绪等的顺应。这些都是引发话语冲突的重要原因。作者认为只有详细了解冲突的原因,才更有利于冲突的缓解和解决,对人们提高交际能力、和谐交往有一定的指导作用。所以本文不但对话语冲突的理论研究方面做出了新的尝试,而且在指导人们化解冲突方面也有一定积极意义。但是一次冲突话语的发生可能是多方面因素共同引起的,如情绪、认知和文化等,所以对冲突话语有待进行更加综合系统的研究。
