英语抱怨言语行为的研究

论文摘要

言语行为是语用学的重要理论。从上世纪五十年代以来各语言学家对“道歉”“请求”、“致谢”等言语行为进行了广泛深入的研究,然而,很少的学者对抱怨语有一定的研究。我们知道恰当地使用抱怨语和做出合适的回应是交际能力的重要方面。本文以美国连续剧《越狱》,《反恐24小时》等的抱怨场景为采集资料,对此进行整理分析研究,进一步总结抱怨语的行为、抱怨语的表达手段、抱怨的情景变项、抱怨的答语、抱怨及答语的策略,使我们进一步了解了说英语的人的行为习惯,尤其是美国人的行为习惯。这对我们今天的国际交流,教学研究有重大的现实意义及历史意义。本文力图突破当前对抱怨语研究的局限性,希望此文对深入研究抱怨语有所启发。
