第九章语言与文学 复习笔记 I.文体学 1.定义 文体学作为语言学的分支,主要研究特殊语境中语言的特征 (即语言的多样性),并试图建立一些规则,以解释个体和社团在语言使用过程中的特殊选择。2.文学文体学 文学文体学是研究语言与文学关系的学科,其研究焦点是与文学文体相关联的语言特征。 (1)前景化 前景化的概念来源于视觉艺术,与“背景”一词相对应,已经成为文体学的常用术语。俄国形式主义语言学家、布拉格学派学者和现代文体学家都曾在文体研究中使用这一术语。它被定义为“以艺术手法为动机的偏离”。这种偏离,或非常规用法,覆盖了语言的所有层面;词汇、语音、句法、语义,笔迹等。(2)字面语言和比喻语言 词典定义中所提供的一个词的第一个意义通常是它的字面意义。比喻语言是为了达到对比、强调、明确或标新的目的而使用的不同于日常常规语言的词句。 语言中表示比喻用法的另一个词是Trope (修辞、比喻)。它是指为了修辞目的而通过比喻途径来使用的语言。比喻在语言运用中频繁出现,并且采用许多不同形式。 明喻:明喻是把一种事物和另一种事物作比较,并通过展现一种事物如何与另一事物相似来解释这种事物是什么样子的方法。它用as或like等词在文本中作为明确标志。

暗喻:像明喻一样,暗喻也是对两个并不相像的要素作出对比,这种对比是隐含的而不是直接表达的。 转喻:一种一个词或词组被另一个与之有紧密联系的词或词组替换的修辞方法。 提喻:提喻是用事物的一部分名称来指代整个事物,反之亦然。 II.诗歌语言 1.语音模式 押韵 尾韵:每行结尾的押韵。 2.不同形式的语音模式 头韵:在头韵里,句首的辅音是一致的。 准押韵:准押韵通过一个共同的元音来描述音节。 辅音韵:以相同辅音结尾的音节 反韵:指音节拥有共同的元音和首辅音,而不是元音和末辅音押韵。 押副韵:当两个音节具有相同的首辅音和尾辅音。 反复:音节的重复。 3.韵律模式 当重读被组织成有规律的节奏时,就形成了韵律。抑扬格是韵律单位的一种。韵律单位叫做音步。pentameter (五音步诗行)是指诗句里有五个音步。 4.传统的韵律模式与语音模式 (1)对句:对句为两行诗句,一般由押韵联系在一起。 (2)四行诗:即四行为一节的诗,是英语诗歌中很常见的形式。
