《绯闻少女》中女性语言特点及语用研究

论文摘要

语言是为了满足社会交际的需要而产生、存在和发展的。在许多英语国家里,从男性与女性的日常交际过程中发现,女性的言语总会透露出一些耐人寻味的语言特点。当前流行美剧《绯闻少女》是根据美国作家Cecily同名畅销小说改编,剧中台词展示的是英美国家中年轻一代的生活,女性语言特点更为明显,在此之前还没有对剧中女主人公语言特点的研究。本文正是以《绯闻少女》中的女性语言为研究对象,结合社会语言学与语用学相关理论对剧中女性语言特点进行话语分析,其研究结论是,从社会语言学角度,在语音方面女性在交流时受社会背景的影响往往有意识的采用低音域,起伏多变的语调还有更为标准的语音模式；在词汇句法方面,女性更倾向于使用强势词,模糊语以及附加疑问句表示其礼貌客气；从语用学角度分析,作者得出,女性通常保持积极的态度参与谈话过程因此倾向于遵守礼貌原则与合作原则同时也保全对方的面子。本文通过此研究对人们了解西方文化,了解英美年轻一代在言语交际中的交际策略,女性语言特点及会话策略也是一个有效途径,对以后女性语言特点的研究以及跨文化交际起到一定的推动作用。
