关联—顺应模式下电视访谈应答语信息过量现象的研究

论文摘要

论文尝试性地研究机构话语—电视访谈节目中的应答语信息过量现象,试图说明这一语言现象生成与理解过程中的关联顺应特征。根据研究的需要,本文把应答语信息过量界定为在电视访谈问答过程中,应答者（即受访者）在回答过程中除了提供满足提问者（即采访者）交际需求的、必要的信息外提供过量信息的话语现象。作者基于中国学者杨平和冉永平提出的关联-顺应模式,建立了改进的关联-顺应模式作为本文的理论框架,该模式认为言语交际意在寻求最佳关联。最佳关联是语言结构与语境因素相互顺应的结果。说话者和听话者在寻求关联和相互顺应的过程中为实现成功交际而付出努力。这一模式从话语生成和话语理解两方面提供了一个解读言语交际的更全面的理论机制。论文的语料主要来源于两个国内著名访谈节目《杨澜访谈录》和《鲁豫有约》,并基于这些语料,在关联-顺应模式下对信息过量现象进行了质的研究。本文主要从命题内容和信息量两个维度对应答语信息过量现象的多样性展开研究。其中,根据不同的命题内容尝试性地将应答语信息过量现象分为五类：扩展性信息过量,解释性信息过量,表明态度的信息过量,自我支持性信息过量和修正性信息过量；根据信息量不同将应答语信息过量现象分为单一命题信息过量和多命题信息过量。并分别从指向交际者和指向话语进程两个方面讨论了应答语信息过量现象的功能性。分析受访者如何利用信息过量答语维护积极的个人形象、缓和对他人的面子威胁从而维持和谐的人际关系,探讨信息过量答语如何通过转移话题中心和提高交际的有效性来影响交际进程。基于关联-顺应模式,本文初步分析了电视访谈信息过量应答语在生成和理解方面的机制。研究表明,信息过量应答语的生成和理解都是在关联-顺应的过程中进行的。受访者顺应各种语境因素选择符合关联原则的信息过量答语,同时采访者要顺应受访者的语言选择,对这一话语现象做出符合关联原则的解读。
