现代汉语中的象似性及其修辞作用

论文摘要

象似性理论作为认知语言学的一个重要理论,已经受到国内外语言学界的广泛关注。语言学家们对语言中的象似性现象做出了详尽的解释,归纳出了语言中的不同的象似性原则和特点,丰富和完善了象似性理论体系。随着象似性理论的发展,国内也有不少学者运用象似性理论对现代汉语中的一些语法现象作了研究。本文主要回顾了现代汉语中的语音象似性,顺序象似性,距离象似性的研究情况。通过研究,表明汉语是一门象似性极高的语言。而他们的研究主要是集中在语法方面,其分析也只局限在词汇或句法层次。而语相象似性,数量象似性以及对称象似性几乎没有运用于现代汉语中,所以本文仅回顾了这三个象似性原则在国内的研究情况。而本文从修辞的角度来阐释象似性在现代汉语中的修辞作用。所以本文旨在通过现代汉语来探讨象似性及其修辞作用,这对于拓宽象似性及其修辞作用的研究具有一定的意义。本文通过对现代汉语中的语音象似性,语相象似性,顺序象似性,距离象似性,数量象似性及其对称象似性六个典型的象似性原则及其修辞作用进行了分析,从而证明了在现代汉语中象似性是一种经常使用的非常重要的修辞手段。另外,语言学家们对于象似性的研究,一直以来主要局限于词汇层面和句法层面,近期才有个别学者提出了语篇象似理论---从超句法的语篇层面研究象似性。基于此,本文试着从词汇、句法和语篇三个层面对六个象似性原则在现代汉语中的修辞作用进行了分析,较为全面地研究了象似性及其修辞作用,并且丰富了语篇象似性的研究。本文的研究,一方面,通过现代汉语的例子证明了象似性是一种修辞手段,另一方面,为现代汉语和修辞学的研究提供了象似性的理论工具。
