基于顺应理论分析冗余信息

论文摘要

本文主要研究冗余信息的使用,试图解释冗余信息的顺应性。这是一项基于语料的定性研究。数据主要来源于电视剧、电影、各种访谈以及文学作品等。基于维索尔伦(1999)的语言顺应理论(Linguistic Adaptation Theory),本文构建了研究冗余信息的理论框架,从变异性,顺应性和功能三方面研究冗余信息的动态特征。冗余信息是日常交际中的一种常见现象,是语言使用中不可分割的一部分。在大量语言证据和语言顺应理论的支持下,作者认为,冗余信息不仅是一种语言事实,在很多情况下也是一种交际需要。它不同于啰嗦或多余信息.前者是必要的,有意义的;而后者是多余的,无意义的。因此,本研究将冗余信息的使用视为一种交际策略,即“冗余信息策略”。语言顺应理论认为,使用语言的过程就是不断选择语言的过程,这种选择可能发生在语言结构的任何层面(语音、词汇、句法、语义等)上。而任何层面上的细微变化都会造成语用意义上的极大差别。冗余信息是语言结构选择的体现。那么,在某种语境下,人们为什么选择冗余信息策略?对冗余信息顺应过程的讨论发现,交际者使用冗余信息策略是为了实现他们的交际目的。冗余信息作为一种语言选择,是对语境顺应的结果。本文对冗余信息的研究可以加深我们对它的理解,引发更多的相关研究,同时对于人们的言语交际实践也有一定的指导作用。
