Stylistic effect 样例
Stylistic effect: practice (1)'Meeting at Night' (1845) is a poem by Robert Browning.How does Browning use sound - particularly consonants - to reinforce the action that lakes place in the poem and the emotions that are involved?Text: Meeting at NightThe grey sea and long black land;And the yellow half-moon large and low;And the startled little waves that leapIn fiery ringlet from their sleep,As I gain the cow with pushing prow,And quench its speed I’ the slushy sand.Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;Three fields to cross till a farm appears,A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratchAnd blue spurt of a lighted match.And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,Than the two hearts beating each to each!The poem is organized into two 6-line rhyming stanzas. In stanza 1 the narrator is rowing his boat at night across the sea towards land. Stanza 2 describes his journey across land and culminates in the lover’s meeting of the title.The dominant consonant sounds in the first stanza are:The voiced lateral /l/, sometimes referred to as a ―liquid‖ and associated with the flowing, rippling qualities of water.The voiceless plosives /k/ and /p/--soft percussive soundsThe voiceless fricatives / / and / /--soft hissing soundsThe voiceless affricate/ /and / /--soft percussive, immediately followed by soft hissing.The way that these sounds are distributed across the lines of the stanza helps to suggest the action and sound of the oars. The plosives enact the vigorous movement of the oars entering and pulling through the water and the fricatives are suggestive of the sound made by the disturbed water after the oars are taken up ready for the next stroke. The 'soft' voiceless quality of most of the sounds contributes to the emotional atmosphere of the poem-the act ion takes place at night imparting - of secrecy to the proceedings and the oarsman is perhaps driven by a sense of quiet determination. In tine 5 the poet describes the boat coming to a halt as it drives into the sand of the beach. Here he introduces the voiced plosive /g/ in the word 'gain' - a loud percussive sound - and follows this with a concentration ol voiceless plosives (/p/), fricatives (/J7 and /s/) and the affricate (A//) - sounds that suggest the sudden stopping of the boat, the disturbance this creates in the water (the affricate /tj/ which involves both a plosive and fricative sound) and the gradual restoration of the sound and motion of waves lapping gently onto the beach and around the finallystilled boat.In the second stanza the narrator crosses the beach and fields to arrive at the farm. 'A lap at the pane' echoes the rhythm of his action and the voiceless plosives /t/ and /p/ suggest that his tapping is cautious and muted. He doesn't want to alarm the occupant. The following line and a half use another series of voiceless sounds to describe a match being struck inside the house in response to his tapping. Think about striking a match. It involves friction (scratching sounds) and combustion (percussive sounds). The fricatives and affricates reinforce the sound of a match being rubbed against sandpaper and the plosives contribute to the image of the match bursting into flame. All these sounds are voiceless until the point where the match takes light. We could perhaps interpret this as the moment when the lovers recognize each other, the tension that has built up in the poem is released, the door is opened and the 'two hearts' are united in the final two lines.Explore the use of sound symbolism based on consonants by collecting a range of data. Here are some areas to consider:1.Plosives are often used in newspaper headlines to give a sense of energy and drama: forexample, in words like 'probe', 'cut', 'hit', 'snap', 'quit', 'scoop' and 'block'. (These words are also monosyllabic, giving them extra force.) Collect some headlines and investigate the types of words used in them.2.Product brand names are carefully chosen by manufacturers to have a certain 'ring'. Choosesome different products and list their brand names and slogans. Do certain sounds recur, or are certain sounds associated with particular types of product? For example, the names 'Twix', 'Crunchie', 'Snickers', 'Kit Kat' and 'Picnic' all contain plosives, perhaps because the manufacturers want to suggest a crisp, cracking noise. Are fricatives used for scouring creams and liquids, or air fresheners?Slogans can often use alliteration, for example:Best Buy Bold (washing powder)P-P-Pick up a Penguin (chocolate bar)The Power to Hit Pain Precisely (analgesic)3. Some newspapers also use phoneme substitution as a regular technique in their headlines. Rather than exploiting sound symbolism, this process is one of rule-breaking: the reader expects one sound and gets another which creates a new and relevant word or phrase -sometimes with deliberately comic effect. You can see this process in certain kinds of 'corny' joke: Q: What did the duck say as it flew upside down?A: I'm quacking up.Q: What do sea monsters live on?A: Fish and ships.Q: What do cats read?A: The Mews of the World.But the same technique can be used for serious purposes too. Adverts can exploit the way phoneme substitution can call up two phrases at once, as in using 'Limited Emission' to describe a car with a catalytic converter (and calling up the sophistication and exclusiveness of 'Limited Edition' at the same time).See if you can find some examples of sound substitution from newspaper headlines, advertising copy and jokes. The jokes above are one example of how much we like to play withsound. Collect some further examples of sound play, in the form of tongue twisters and popular sayings.Stylistic effect: practice (2)ANAL YSIS: the Texture of Sound in PoetryGOD'S GRANDEURThe world is charged with the grandeur of GodIt will flame out. like shining from shook foil;It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oilCrushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?Generations have trod, have trod, have trod; 5And all is seared with trade: bleared, smeared with toil:And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soilIs bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.And for all this, nature is never spent;There lives the dearest freshness deep down things:And though the last lights off the black West wentOh. morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs—Because the Holy Ghost over the bentWorld broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.—G. M. HopkinsGerard Manley Hopkins was a Jesuit priest and poet who lived late in the 19th century. He was a man of profound inner tensions that would "flame out" in his poetry. His inner conflict lay between a dedication to the life of the spirit through the virtue absolute obedience to religious superiors and an opposing sensitivity to experience which sought an outlet in originality of language. In his poetry there is nearly always the suggestion of opposing tensions, frequently expressed by a syncopated rhythm that has had a great influence on modern poetry. He is famous for nature poems which succeed in filling the natural world with divine life: but he is equally famous for poems of despair. He was a scholar who derived his theory of poetry and nature from a medieval philosopher, Scotus: and he was a theologian who worshipped a Christian God who is both transcendent of and immanent to nature. Nature for him could reveal the divine, but it is not equal to the divine: rather, it is a veil drawn across the face of divinity.This is the theme of "God's Grandeur". Here Hopkins' sense of inner tension finds appropriate expression in the idea of nature as "charged" with divinity: which-—no matter how "bleared", how "smeared with toil"—will continue to "flame out". There can be no more importanttheme for our age than this sense of the divinity in nature. At last we have begun to acknowledge the extraordinary beauty and fertility of our world and to condemn the "trade" and "toil" that obscure itThe poem expresses above all positive vision. Despite the generations, the wearing down of grass, the smell of man. There exists scarcely beneath the surface the eternal vitality and freshness of God. This energy leaps forth at every slightest opportunity, at every dawn, from within everything Hopkins' powerful optimism easily raises us above the routine of toil, as a flash of true feeling can illuminate our profound depressions.At the end of the poem is the image of the Holy Ghost, the third part of the Christian Trinity, who represents divine love Hopkins' use of this image here implies that creation itself is an extension of the inner life of the Trinity of the divine being. Life flows endlessly out of God through His spirit. How than can there be an end to it? The world is an egg brooded over by the divine spirit. And that egg will crack and the spirit of God again flash out. "There lives the dearest freshness deep down things" and "morning, the brown brink eastward, springs" because of the Holy Ghost, the inexhaustible source of the universe. It is this kind of optimism of wider vision, of faith in something beyond the smear and blear of a man-worn world that our age needs to re-ignite our spirits. And. says Hopkins, it wilt flame out in spite of everything we do, in spite of ourselves. This is God's grandeur.In form the poem is a petrarchan sonnet. The Petrarchan rhyme scheme (abbaabba. cdcdcd) is reinforced by the indented, left margins while the octet (8-line group) sets out a problem and the sestet. (6-line group) resolves it. The sonnet is a traditional form and sets up certain expectations of serious subject matter and an argument structure. Your first impression may also include a sense of the suggestive power of the words, and of the density of sound patterning in the poem.A good essay about a literary work begins with a good literary insight, and a student's exclamation after studying this poem—"But the line itself is charged'"—provides us with our starting point. Let us see how Hopkins’lines are charged with sound, as God, according to Hopkins, charged the world with grandeur. Our key point of examination will be that smallest part of language, the consonant. To explore it we will adapt for our own purposes two familiar terms from literary analysis, alliteration and onomatopoeia: and we will trace Hopkins" use of consonants back to his studies in medieval poetry.AlliterationAlliteration—the repetition of an initial sound in different words, usually a consonant—is a common technique. It depends on our recognition of the similarity of certain sounds—sounds which on dose inspection may not be very similar at all, but which v\e. as speakers of English, have agreed will be classed alike, for example, the initial "t" of "toil" and the "t" after "s" of "West". Test this difference by holding your hand before your mouth when you say these two words. Because we have agreed to use the single symbol 't" for these two sounds, we indicate that we are not aware of the difference of sound. To us, they are functionally similar, even though the correspondence between written symbol and spoken sound is frequently unreliable. In reality, sounds that we think of as identical sounds are only a class of similar sounds. Within the similarity of sounds arranged as alliterative pairs here by Hopkins, there is a great deal more variety than we may first suspect. The initial sound in "trade" actually resembles "ch" in many speakers, because of the following "r‖. Contrast this with the clear "t" of "toil".Since rhyme and meter are traditional elements of the sonnet form, the extensive use of alliteration in this poem is its most unusual formal feature. In only one line (5) is there no alliteration, and there are numerous instances of double sets of alliteration, and also of multiple alliteration:The world is charged with the grandeur of GodIt will flame out, like shining from shook foil;It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oilCrushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;5And all is seared with trade: bleared, smeared with toil:And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soilIs bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.And for all this, nature is never spent;The result of this unusual amount of alliteration is to sensitize us to all sorts of sound qualities in the poem. We become sensitive not only to the expected sonnet rhyme, but also to interior rhyme: "men'/ ―then", "seared' /bleared'/smeared","wear"/"shares". In addition, we find some entire words are repeated: "man’s"/man's", "have trod‖/ "have trod"/"have trod". This density of repeated sounds is particularly noticeable in the lines (5. 6, 7) where the blearing of the world through man's activities is described. It is also strikingly effective in the climactic last hue where two sets of triple alliteration occur, and virtually every syllable-stressed or unstressed, alliterates. (The question of assonance will be dealt with in the next unit.) This extra intensity of sound effects in the poem, added to the traditional effect of rhyming, results in our first impression of the poem as ―charged".When we begin to examine the particular instances of alliteration, we discover that alliteration can draw attention to meaning. If two words that are already commonly related in meaning are also related by sound the effect is striking! The title –―God's Grandeur" provides a first example, one that is repeated in the first line. Other examples are "ooze"/"oil", ―trad'/toil". "Smudge'/'smell", "broods" "breast", "deep'/'down". In other cases two words that would not normally be seen as related in meaning are given a relationship in the context of the poem: and then this relationship is underlined by alliteration: "foot" "feel" (a feeling foot as opposed to a shod foot), ―wor ld'/"warm" (a warm world thanks to the Holy Ghost's brooding). Such relationships of meaning as well as sound shade into other examples of alliteration that seem simply to reinforce the general pattern of sound repetition. In three cases alliteration is used to reinforce a negative word that appears as the second alliterated item: "nature"'/"never", "now"/"'not", "now"/ ―nor". In some cases other word alliterate with two alliterated words linked in meaning, although they themselves do not relate directly in meaning: "world'/warm'/'wings" ―dearest‖/deep/down‖, "broods"/"breast"/"bright". In these cases there seems to be a tendency for us to attempt to associate the meaning of the third item with the established pair. The images of world, warmth, and wings unite in a conception of the world as an egg. "Deep" 'down" is seen as the" place of the dearest feelings. The brooding breast shines brightly with love.Alliteration is also an important factor in the rhythm of this poem. A poem has many rhythms. There is the rhythm set up by the stresses, which in English appear at regular intervals. (We will talk about this in the second unit following.) There is the rhythm set up by the line units, especially when, as here, the line endings are marked by rhyme. There is the rhythm set up by thepauses between grammatical units, or marked in different ways by punctuation and layout. And there is also the rhythm set up by various interior sound repetitions, including alliteration.It is when these various units coincide that we find the strongest rhythmic effects. Rhyme and stress coincide with the end of each line here. In addition, in all but four lines (8,9,10, 12) the last syllable is also emphasized by alliteration or repetition. Most line endings are also marked by strong pauses (all but 3, 7, 11, 13). This coincidence of rhythmic effects makes the line the effective unit in the poem. What Hopkins does, having established the line as the unit, is to produce varied rhythmic effects within the line by manipulating stresses, pauses, ad repeated sounds, particularly alliteration. The consonant, in alliteration, becomes the key organizing device of the rhythm of the individual line.To a poet, the smallest part of language is significant. We have seen here just now significant the consonant can be. Everywhere we have looked in this poem we have seen Hopkins’theme reinforced by sound. Although we have focused particularly on consonants here, yet we might have chosen vowels, or even aspects of language would have illuminated Hopkins’ poem in yet another way. It is this integration of theme and all aspects of language that is the mark of literature.。
