美国总统就职演说辞之间的互文性研究 ——以维护宪法为例

论文摘要

历届美国总统就职演说内容精炼,语言精美；这些演说辞中存在着大量的互文运用现象,话语修辞特色明显,易于引起公众共鸣,实现演讲交际效果。本文试图从互文运用的角度出发,对总统演说辞进行纵向对比,研究不同总统对于宪法维护的互文性。因此,本文综合并扩展了Fairclough (1992)和Derrida (2009)提出的互文理论分类,概括出八种互文运用类型,并进行对比性研究；其中包括了四种“显性”的对比互文以及四种“隐性”的对比互文。详尽的论据及分析表明,不同总统就职演说辞中对于维护宪法有着诸多共同点,后期总统直接或间接地引用前期总统关于维护宪法的观点,一方面可以增加总统就职演说辞的权威性和说服力,有助于获得公众对于新任总统的广泛支持；另一方面,通过在维护宪法方面互文性的对比研究,可以反映出美国总统们的宪法观以及成熟的宪政制度对于美国社会发展的意义。总之,对美国总统就职演说中维护宪法的互文性对比研究是为了更好的了解完善的宪政制度对于美国发展的影响。同时,希望本文能够进一步拓展互文性研究的范围,为今后更加深入、广泛地研究此领域提供一些参考。
