英语双关语多维度研究
|
摘要
本论文是从历史学、修辞学、语用学、符号学、文学、心理学、哲学等多个角度对英语双关语进行的多维度研究。
双关语在人类文明史上源远流长、经久不衰,是世界文明中最为喜闻乐见的创作手段。英语双关语是最具争议的语言现象和修辞手段。西方圣贤大家对双关语大加赞美,出现了许多双关大师。不少学者对双关语顶礼膜拜,极力辩护,至死不渝。更多学者则对双关语口诛笔伐,竭力抵制。由于西方修辞传统、哲学传统和文学思潮的演变以及社会历史、政治制度的改变也使英语双关语经历了大喜大悲的命运,既有长达世纪的衰落,也有三次双关语的鼎盛繁荣。由于社会主流文化对于双关语的贬低与讨伐,双关语使用大多不登大雅之堂,双关语研究大多时候无人问津,一直处于门庭冷落的边缘化状态,与当今隐喻研究热相比,双关语作为修辞学、语音学、词汇学、语义学、文学、美学、逻辑学、心理学、社会学、民俗学、人工智能、认知科学等多个学科的交叉口,它的重要性和研究价值远未得到重视。
论文共有七章。第一章为引论,简要介绍了英语双关的定义、双关语的起源、关于双关的争论、双关的现状等。第二章为文献回顾,简要评介了双关语的主要研究成果。第三章为历时研究,结合西方修辞学传统、文学传统、哲学思潮以及社会文化流变等,对英语双关语的人文传统进行了梳理。第四章对双关语进行分类解析。第五章和第六章为双关语多维度研究。其中主要涉及双关语与符号学、意向性、语篇连贯、言语行为、合作原则、心理学、认知科学等之间的关系及互动。第七章为结束语,探讨了未来双关语研究的方向。
This dissertation is a multidimensional study on the English pun from the historical, rhetorical, linguistic, literary, psychological, philosophical, and cognitive perspectives.
The pun has a long, honorable, and enduring tradition, and it is regarded as one of the most beloved tools of comic creation in many civilizations. The English pun is also the most controversial linguistic phenomenon and rhetorical device. Abundance of praise comes from many great minds, some of whom are so inveterate punsters that they write to defend it, and use it with great relish. More scholars, however, condemn the pun with heaps of abuses. Viewed from the historical, rhetorical, literary and philosophical context, the English punning tradition has experienced not only centuries of decline, but also three times of prosperity. Researches into the pun, however, have long been marginalized, owing to the mainstream criticism of the pun and its bad reputation. Compared with the metaphormania in the academic field, the significance of the pun, as the interface of such disciplines as rhetoric, phonology, lexicology, semantics, literature, aesthetics, logic, psychology, sociology, ethnography, artificial intelligence and cognitive science, is far from recognition.
This dissertation is a tentative effort in this field. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to its definition, long tradition, the dispute, and the status, and Chapter 2 is a review of literature in the academic studies. Chapter 3 provides a basically diachronic perspective of the pun, with particular attention to its tradition in the context of the English or European rhetoric, literature, philosophy and history. Chapter 4 presents a taxonomic analysis of the English pun, ranging from its linguistic features, chief formations, to prominent types. Chapters 5 and 6 are an endeavor to approach the pun from different perspectives, providing interpretations about the interrelation between the pun and semiotics, intentionality, discourse cohesion, speech acts, cooperative principles, psychology, and cognitive science. Chapter 7 serves as a conclusion, which summaries the implications for English pedagogy and sets some prospects for future research.
