社会符号学观照下的单口相声话语分析

论文摘要

本文从社会符号学角度,以George Carlin五篇最具代表的作品为例,对单口相声进行话语分析。话语分析与社会符号学在整个论述过程中环环相扣:首先从单口相声话语出发,论述其中所应用的符号系统,然后通过梳理符号系统以完成单口相声话语的六大任务构建,再通过这六大任务的构建回到符号学上解读符号,即社会符号学中的解释过程,以此实现对话语深层含义的理解,证明社会符号学对话语分析的可行性和指导性。以M. A. K. Halliday的?作为社会符号的语言?的论述为基础,本研究中话语所关注的符号系统包括语言符号系统(如语音、语法、语义系统)和非语言符号系统(情景语境和文化语境)。来自不同符号系统的相关符号线索聚集在一起,通过拼合这些线索,完成六大任务的构建。话语六大任务的构建遵从James Paul Gee的话语分析框架,包括构建符号、世界、行为、社会文化下的身份及关系、政治及连贯。需注意的是六大任务之间并非界限分明,而是相互渗透、互相促进,如符号构建能促进世界构建,世界构建又促进了身份及关系构建。作者在分析中发现不同的符号系统对话语六大任务构建的贡献有偏重,同时任务构建的类型受到话语主题和所应用的符号系统的制约:抽象的话语主题依靠构建具体的任务如世界构建、行为构建等以实现对话语的解读;而偏抽象的任务构建如身份及关系、连贯的构建,已足够帮助具体的话语主题收集信息实现解读。单口相声为跨文化交际打开一扇窗口,让交流者透过讽刺观察社会的关注点,对权威、家庭、社会的态度,观察信仰、价值观等。此外,作者试图通过本研究提出从话语分析角度认识符号学的新视角,如本文从话语出发研究单口相声的符号网络、特征及作用,为理解抽象的符号学拓宽了道路。
