摘要
社会语言学关注语码转换的研究由来已久,但最初源于对双语环境下人们使用语言的考察。事实上它普遍存在于人们的日常交际,特别是在当今这样一个人们交往日益频繁的世界里更显突出。这是因为任何交际不可能发生在两种完全一致的语言中,所以从最广义的角度讲,人们每天都可能经历语码转换。这样一来语码转换定义和范围已经得以发展和延伸。本文以此为出发点,探索语码转换的意义及实际运用,当然这样的研究是与过去的成果是一脉相承的。
语码转换的研究至今已形成两大阵营:语法结构路线和社会语言学路线,前者探索语码转换过程中的语法结构问题;后者注重语码转换所蕴涵的意义和功能,两者互为联系和补充。社会语言学对语码转换研究在于探索其形成原因以及在交际中所实现的语言之外的功能和意义,这也是我们关注其实际运用价值的来源,并坚信他将是未来社会语言学对语码转换研究的主要方向,因为语言的研究最终要解决实际问题,理论的研究要运用于实际。本文首先对语码转换这样的一种的重要的,普遍的社会现象作较为详尽的描述,梳理语码转换在社会语言学框架下已存在的研究及取得的成果,同时我们带着批判的眼光审视过去的研究并提出作者的看法和建议。语码转换的价值和意义是本文关注的另一方面,结合语言学,社会学等学界对语言研究所取得的成果和认识,语码转换的宏观及微观意义和功能是实际运用的基础,所以语码转换的实际运用是文章的又一重要内容,借助于语用学及其它学科理论,分析和探索语码转换实际运用的可行性并加以分析和论证。总之,本文的基本思路是分析语码转换潜在的意义,结合现代语用学,社会语言学等理论成果,为语码转换的实际运用提供理论支撑的框架并以实际事例依据予以论证。
Code and code switching enter the sociolinguistic research for many decades, which at first concerns the language use or performance of a bilingual. In fact, code switching(hereafter CS) comes to be a common phenomenon in today’s world, not only for those from distinct language backgrounds, but also for those under the same mainstream culture with different sub-cultures. One another important aspect includes that the CS in interaction is not at random but highly-organized, which also bears deep meaning, at the same time, constructs extra-linguistic significances in communication, so the applications of CS must be feasible and acceptable. This paper provides an overview of the theoretical&analytical questions, which are existing commonly in the study of the sociolinguistic dimension of code switching. In order to sort out the research about CS under sociolinguistic framework, it first looks at the earlier research on the CS, then reviews the modern sociolinguistic research on CS over the past three decades, focuses on the progressive and distinguished ideas about CS, and three key figures with their contributions in this field are introduced, in that they are the typical representatives in this field, which present the development route of research for CS, their points of views move up in spiral way. The meanings and functions of CS are mentioned in the sequent part, which are based on the previous researches. Its purpose is to serve as the foundation for the applications of CS in communication, the social and discourse meaning of CS from macro & micro perspective sometimes are overlapping. Trying to explore the extra-meaning of language choice is the main target of this part. Finally, the practical applications of CS in two fields—CS in intercultural communication and foreign language teaching are discussed. The possible application of CS roots out of many modern pragmatic theories such as adaptation theory, face theory etc., including its potential meanings. As an important pragmatic phenomenon and effective communicative strategy, CS in communication, especially in intercultural communication is widely used, our set-off is the emphasis of the feasibility in communication and try to solve the practical problem.
In short, the intended contribution concentrates on the analysis and critics about the past works and excavates the possible implications of CS in practice, attaching importance on the applications of CS. The descriptive and analytic methods are used through the whole paper.
