角色关系与关联性 ——对关联理论社会维度的研究

论文摘要

本文基于对关联理论和角色理论的研究,把角色理论引入关联理论的研究中,研究了交际双方角色关系对认知与交际的理解和认知与交际进程的影响,论证了关联理论在融合了角色理论之后,对实际的认知与交际具有较强的解释力和实践指导意义。 本文认为关联理论没有考虑交际者的角色及其关系在交际话语理解与交际过程中的作用,是导致它被批评缺乏社会性的根本原因。本文把角色、角色关系、角色丛、角色期待等角色理论的基本概念及原理,结合关联理论对互明、语境、信息意图、交际意图等的论述,阐述了稳定的角色关系和动态的角色关系及其相关的角色丛、角色期待、主导角色和非主导角色等对交际话语理解、交际进程的影响,论证了识别交际者角色及其角色关系是认知与交际的首要关键,角色关系、角色期待及社会规约是影响认知与交际进程的推动力,并构建了一个交际会话分析模式。按照这个模式,认知与交际是如何进行、如何完成的原因与动力及其运作机制将得到合理的解释。
