英汉俚语修辞格及文体对比研究

论文摘要

随着社会和经济的发展,新事物新概念的不断涌现,英汉语言都已日趋口语化和通俗化,俚语作为一种特殊的语言形式,一种不规范的语言变体在英汉语言中的地位日益提高并为公众所接受。它不仅为语言提供了原始的资料,而且还为语言提供幻想、想象和幽默。但是有时单纯的使用俚语不会让使用者更好的理解英汉俚语的含义和用法,可以借助俚语的修辞格加深人们对俚语的认识。从语义理据来看,英汉俚语的一大特点就是带有鲜明的修辞色彩。英汉俚语广泛运用隐喻、夸张、委婉语等各种幽默有趣的修辞手法来达到其生动诙谐逼真的表达效果。修辞格及文体在英汉俚语中使用的频率非常高,它对于语体的生动性、形象性、情感性起着十分重要的作用,本文从修辞格角度入手,对英汉俚语中涉及的各类修辞格及文体进行对比探讨,不仅可以让我们变换角度了解英汉俚语的特点,加深对英汉俚语的认识,而且可以提高我们对英汉语言变体的理解能力和交际能力。
