摘要
系统功能语法由韩礼德创建,并在语篇分析领域得到了广泛的应用。同时,它与文体学结合所产生的功能文体学引起了国内外学者的关注。此外,本研究以艾米丽·布朗特的作品《呼啸山庄》为分析对象。到目前为止,对《呼啸山庄》的研究主要是从文学批评的角度出发,比如从女性主义和新批评主义的角度出发,但很少运用功能文体学的理论对其进行探讨。
     基于此,本研究试图根据韩礼德的三大元功能思想对《呼啸山庄》采用定量、定性、实证以及描述的方法进行分析。这样的尝试具有一定的意义,因为通过对《呼啸山庄》中概念功能、人际功能、语篇功能的研究,可以探索小说中突显的语言特点及文体特征,进而从系统和功能的角度为解读《呼啸山庄》提供新的见解。
     研究发现,《呼啸山庄》的文体特点可归为以下三个方面:
     就概念功能来说,不同类型的过程数量和分布与小说爱恨交织的主题紧密相联。小说中使用频率最高的过程类型当属物质过程,它的应用有助于体现故事情节的推进。此外,占主导地位的过程类型是关系过程和心理过程,关系过程的运用为读者提供了不同人物间关系的微妙演变,心理过程则体现了人物内心世界的变化,进而也对故事情节的发展起到推波助澜的作用。另外,言语过程生动地刻画了人物间的争论或讨论,而他们争论或讨论的话题的转变也体现了故事焦点的转变。
     就人际功能来说,本研究以话语为基础,从微观和宏观社会两个层面对小说中叙述者之间,叙述者与主要人物之间,叙述者、主要人物以及作者与读者之间互动的人际意义功能进行了分析。通过对小说前三章中洛克伍德与希斯克厉夫对话的语气和情态分析,可以看出洛克伍德作为陌生人和读者一样对呼啸山庄冷漠的人际氛围充满好奇和探寻。另外,作为第二作者,洛克伍德实现了向读者揭开故事第一页的人际功能,同时他所发现故事中扑朔迷离的重要元素为故事本身埋下了悬念。通过对耐莉与希斯克厉夫、凯瑟琳以及埃德加的对话进行语气和情态分析,发现耐莉不仅承担了故事叙述者角色,同时也代表作者表达了她的道德价值观,起到了联系两代主要角色间实现人际意义互动以及实现小说主题的桥梁作用。本研究还就小说的功能文体特色进行了分析。本研究发现人际功能在体现小说的功能文体特色和实现小说主题方面发挥了至关重要的作用。
     就语篇功能来说,首先,《呼啸山庄》中主位转化证实了作者视角的变化。此外,标记性主位使用频率较高,这是因为人物的行为是作者的关注点。而对希斯克厉夫一系列复仇事件,小说中使用了复项主位和句项主位。与主位相比,述位则更加复杂。其次,基于主述位的分析,可以看到《呼啸山庄》中的主位推进模式十分复杂,因为小说中延续型、主位同一型、主位分裂型等推进模式比比皆是。另外,信息结构通过已知信息和未知信息的交互传递,与主述位结构相互补充,共同为希斯克厉夫的复仇和凯瑟琳的悲剧结局埋下了伏笔。再者,衔接手段的分析对于构架全文起到了至关重要的作用,五种主要衔接手段照应、省略、替代、连接及词汇衔接都可以在文中得到有力的例证。衔接手段的运用,使文本更加流畅,并可使我们从中深入探讨语篇元功能的应用价值。
     总而言之,本研究具有一定的理论意义和应用意义。理论上,本研究证实了功能文体分析理论框架用于分析小说的可行性;应用上,本研究探讨了《呼啸山庄》的文体特点,为元功能对小说主题的实现的研究提供了新的视角。
Since the generation and development of Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG),which is put forward by M. A. K. Halliday, it has been widely applied to analyzingdifferent types of discourse. Meanwhile, its combination with stylistics, namely,functional stylistics, has attracted great attention from scholars both at home and abroad.Moreover, Emily Bront’s Wuthering Heights has been mainly studied by applyingliterature theories such as feminism and new criticism, and with rare studies of it withinthe scope of functional stylistics.
     Therefore, the present study attempts to analyze Emily Bront’s Wuthering Heightsbased on Halliday’s SFG by adopting a quantitative, qualitative, demonstrative as well asdescriptive approach. Such an attempt is of certain significance, for its study ofapplication of ideational metafunction, interpersonal metafunction, and textualmetafunction will provide a new view and credible insight into the prominent linguisticand stylistic features so as to understand the novel better from the systematic andfunctional angle.
     Through the in-depth analysis of metafunctions, it is found that the foregroundedstylistic features of Wuthering Heights can be summarized from the following threeaspects:
     In terms of ideational metafunction, the types and distributions of differentprocesses are closely related to the theme of the novel, namely, the co-existence ofviolent love and extreme hatred. The most frequently used process type is the materialprocess which represents the actions and events involved in the development of the plots.Other predominant types are relational processes, which provide the readers a picture ofthe delicate evolution of relationships among different characters, and mental processes,which present the change of characters’ inner world, further pushing forward thedevelopment of plots. The verbal processes make a vivid presentation of the dispute ordiscussion among different characters. It is the shift of the topics of their conversationthat reveals the shift of focuses. As for behavioral and existential processes, they are involved with a limited number.
     In terms of interpersonal metafunction, the interpersonal meaning of interaction inthe novel between the narrators, between the narrators and the main characters, andbetween the writer and readers at the micro/macro social level is analyzed. Throughanalysis of mood and modality of the conversation between Lockwood and Heathcliff inthe first three chapters of the novel, a double role can be found in Lockwood, for as astranger of Wuthering Heights, he is full of curiosity and inquiring about the eccentricatmosphere in the Heights. In addition, as a second writer, Lockwood fulfills EmilyBront’s function of opening the first leaf of the story to the reader in the interpersonalmeaning and prepares the foreshadowing of the complicated events for the novel.Meanwhile, by analysis of mood and modality in Mrs. Nelly Dean’s conversation withHeathcliff, Catherine and Edgar Linton, it is found that she is not only the narrator of thestory, but also a participant connecting the two-generation lovers and transferring EmilyBront’s notion of moral and value to the reader. Besides, the functional stylistic featuresare analyzed. It is found that the interpersonal metafunction plays a very important partin the realization of the stylistic features and the theme of the novel.
     In terms of textual metafunction, it can be seen that the themes in WutheringHeights is full of changes, which indicates the change of the author’s perspectives fromnarrator to other people. Besides, the marked themes are used with high frequency,because the action and behaviour of the protagnists are the major concern of the writer. Aseries of texts of retaliation committed by Heathcliff are pervaded with multiple themesand themes in clause complex. As for the rheme, it is complicated in most cases. Inaddition to these findings through theme and rheme analysis, the present study also findsthat the thematic progression patterns in Wuthering Heights are complicated, whichmeans that simple linear, constant thematic progression pattern, split theme pattern,coordinate theme pattern, and combined theme and rheme coexist. In addition, beingparallelled with the theme-rheme structure, the information structure forms a perfectcomplement through the interactive transmission between the given information and newinformation. They both pave the way for the Heathcliff’s revenge and Catherine’s tragedy.As for the cohesive devices, they play an important role in constructing the text. In Wuthering Heights, five commonly recognized devices, namely, reference, ellipsis,substitution, conjunction and lexical cohesion, are employed. It is these devices thatmake the whole novel organized in a fluent way and facilitate the insights into thestylistic value of language patterns. This dissertation also explains how the textualmetafunction helps to realize the theme of the novel.
     To sum up, the significance of the present study lies in that theoretically speaking, ithas proved the feasibility of the theoretical framework of functional stylistics; practicallyspeaking, it has provided a fresh insight into the effect of metafunctions on therealization of the theme of Wuthering Heights.
