电影《达芬奇密码》的多模态话语分析

论文摘要

随着科学技术的不断发展、多媒体和互联网络的广泛使用,在全球视觉文化冲击的今天,多模态性(Multimodality)日益成为日常生活不可或缺的一部分,信息的传递方式不再是单一的文本,取而代之的是包含了多种模式例如音频、视频等,对多模态话语的研究成为一种必然趋势。作为批评话语分析(Critical Discourse Analysis)的一种,多模态话语分析(Multimodal Discourse Analysis)建立在系统功能语言学和社会符号学的传统里,不断的被创新和探索。其中以Kress & Leeuwen(1996,2006)为代表的建立了视觉语法的基本框架,但是他们只是局限于静态的图像分析。O’Halloran (2004)试图建立一个完备的电影语篇分析体系,并且对两个电影场景进行了初步的尝试。Baldry&Thibault (2000,2004)也建立了对有限篇幅的广告视频的分析框架。而电影语篇的话语分析在多模态话语分析领域被视为一个复杂,艰难的课题。不但由于它包含多种符号模态系统及其相互作用,还由于在动态的语篇流动下,这些符号系统的意义构建过程也在变化。因此对电影多模态话语的研究同时具有理论价值与现实意义。本文以Kress和vanLeeuwen (1996)的视觉语法(Visual Grammar, VG)为基础,通过借鉴O’Halloran的电影语篇分析系统,以镜头(shot)为分析单位,通过分解构成镜头的画格(frame)构建电影语篇的多模态分析模型作为话语分析工具,同时采用定性研究为主的分析方法,选取电影达芬奇密码的四个镜头和同名小说的对应片段为语料,涉及电影语篇的多模态单位,主要维度,动态意义和比较文本意义等方面进行实证性的分析和研究,也对所构建的模型进行了检验。
