The Interpersonal Meaning of Person System

论文摘要

以韩礼德为主的系统功能语言学家认为语言具有三大元功能,即概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能,其中对人际功能的研究相对比较薄弱。在论述人际功能(意义)的实现手段时,韩礼德等主要考察了语气和情态两个系统,而对于其它可以实现人际意义的手段却鲜有论及。本文认为实现人际意义的手段应该有多种,而人称系统便是其中的一种。对人称系统的研究及其如何实现人际意义正是本文研究的重点。对于人称的研究,韩礼德和哈桑最初是从语篇角度来考虑的。他们认为,表示外指的(exophoric)的人称代词,即表示言语角色的人称代词(第一人称和第二人称代词)没有衔接功能;只有表示前指(anaphoric)和后指(cataphoric)的人称代词才具有衔接功能。而只是在1994 年之后,韩礼德认为人际意义体现于人称的使用当中,但遗憾的是他没有对其做任何更进一步的阐述。因此本文对人称在三种不同语类的使用及其所表达的人际意义进行研究,证明人称系统不但可以实现人际意义,且在不同的语类中实现的人际意义不尽相同。该研究不仅能够完善和丰富韩礼德的人际意义实现手段的理论,对言语交际和语言教学都具有一定的指导意义。
