汉语语言中庸现象的语用学研究

论文摘要

本论文的研究对象是汉语语言中的中庸现象。从整体上来讲,本论文属于基于语料的定性研究。论文的理论框架主要以社会心理学中的亲和动机为依据,旨在揭示汉语语言中庸现象产生的社会心理学原因。儒家所提出的中庸思想在中国传统文化中具有举足轻重的作用,其深刻的内涵有着丰富的哲学价值及现实意义。中庸思想的内涵也随着时代的变化而不断变化,这也是中庸这一概念独特的中国式生命力使然。这一包含着丰富辩证法的思想不仅可以用来指导人们正确对待和处理矛盾,而且是我们构建科学社会主义和谐社会的理论依据。可以说,中庸思想影响着人类生活的方方面面。表现在做事上,它提倡要掌握适度原则,即把握分寸、恰到好处、无过无不及,因时制宜、因地制宜和因事制宜地正确处理问题;表现在语言上,它要求委婉含蓄,不要观点鲜明、言词激烈、不留余地。具体地说,就是对自己的情感、态度、立场、看法等的表达要拐弯抹角、迂回曲折,要由古及今、由远及近、层层推进。由此,我们归纳得出汉语语言中庸现象这一言语实践旨在通过间接、全面的表达方式达到和谐的交际效果;通过满足交际双方的心理需要达到最佳交际效果;通过谦虚地表达方式保持和谐一致的人际关系。纵观中庸现象在汉语中的体现可以看出汉语语言中庸现象主要体现为三类表达形式,即间接式、谦虚式和整体式。人在思考的同时常常有一个默默的在内心运用语言的过程。而言语使用者怎么说,如何说,认为怎样表达合适,与言语使用者的心理密切相关。因此,通过从社会心理学角度对汉语语言中庸现象进行语用学探究,我们可以看到旨在达到和谐融洽的交际效果的汉语语言中的中庸现象产生的原因可以归结为普遍存在于人们心理的亲和动机。
