证言质证中的话题流分析

论文摘要

本文结合信息结构理论以及庭审交际的目的论分析了诉讼目的冲突比较突出的质证过程中的话题流动现象。话题流分析包括话题分析和答话分析，其中话题包括实质性话题、过渡性话题和程序性话题。Kuppevelt(1995)指出问话是话题的实现形式，因此本文结合廖美珍对法庭问话的分类和Shuy(1990)对答话分类中的六种形式，并将其应用于描写和解析刑事民事庭审质证中的话题类别及回应现象，以便更好的了解这两种互相依存的庭审互动现象。研究的另一目的在于分析总结话题流模式，即话题结束、改变、转换、保留或深入的机制。为此，本文在这部分研究中采用了语料驱动型研究方法，在认真分析符合研究对象的语料的基础上从话题变化、信息点以及问话与答话相互作用的角度分析了目的不同的证言质证过程中话题的流动规律，总结出三种话题流动模式：直接型、深入型和复合型，其中深入型可分为垂直深入型和平行深入型。研究表明话题流模式在诉讼目的实现过程中起着非常重要的作用。在话题流模式中，话题以及话题类型的巧妙选择，信息点的合理分布，问话答话形式的正确使用，都有助于提问者在目的冲突的证言质证中所需信息的获得。
