Brief Summary of StylisticsGeneralStylisticsis the sciencewhich exploreshow readers interact with the languages oftexts in order to explain how weunderstand and are affected by texts whenwe read them. The stylistic mainly通述concerns about the examination of文体学是为一门教我们怎么更好的grammar, lexis, semantics, as well as使用语言的一门学科，主要关注语法，phonological properties and discursive词汇，语义，语音特征和表达手段。

According to different standards,thestylistics mainly divide into two majortypes ：linguistic stylistics and literarystylistics. And there are many school ofstylistics such as lingvo-stylistics,literarystylistics, applied stylistics, contrastive根据不同的标准，文体学分为两大stylistics, applied stylistics and so on.类：普通文体学和文学文体学.并且文体学有许多不同的学派，如形式文体In the basic notions of stylistics, the学，话语文体学，文学文体学，应用文体学，社会文体学，认知文体学，related Prague School of the early 比较文体学等。

从文体学的角度看翻译标准

从文体学的角度看翻译标准从文体学的角度看翻译标准1.引言翻译标准和原则, 在翻译界可谓众说纷纭, 其中很多翻译标准都提到了对文体的要求。

Tytler在Principles of Translation中提出译文的风格和表达方式应与原文具有相同的特征; 达在Translation Theory and Practice中也提出: 翻译要从语义到文体, 用最贴近的自然对等语在接受语言中再现源语信息[1]; 我国学者严复的“信、达、雅”、鲁迅“要保留原文的风姿”等理论也表达了对翻译标准文体论的探讨。

2.文体探微文体对我们来说可能是个比较模糊的概念, 英语style一词源于拉丁语的stilus, 原指古人在蜡板上写字用的一种用金属或骨头制作的“笔”。

随着时间的推移, style一词的词义不断扩大, 以至《牛津英语词典》曾在该词下面列出26个义项。

[2]现英文Style既可指某一时代的文风，又可指某一作家使用语言的习惯;既可指某种体裁的语言特点，又可指某一作品的语言特色。

它包含文体、语体和风格等方面的意思。

因此stylistics这个词便译为“文体学”、“语体学”或“风格学”。

随着文体学的发展和完善，它已经成为研究翻译理论和翻译标准的重要理念。

一些学者曾指出运用文体学确立翻译标准的意义，并作出了一些精辟论述，集中在语体、语言常规与变异以及语言结构与功能等方面。

但笔者认为这些论述对文体所蕴涵的意义不够系统和全面。

根据泰特勒、奈达等学者翻译标准中的要求，文体style至少应包括语体、文类体裁、功能文体、修辞与篇章等多个层面。

3.文体多层面对翻译的要求3. 1语体( formality)语体表现人与人之间的交际距离，与语域即使用语言的主体、场合和情景相关。

语体在作品中起着相当重要的作用。

它可以描写话语环境、展示人物身份、反映社会文化、体现原作的文体风格等。

译者应了解作者的语体使用意图，在译文中设法去再现这些方面的效果，以求获得语用等值。

文艺学美学方法论总结

文艺学美学方法论总结Aesthetics, as a branch of philosophy, plays a significant role in literary studies. It is the exploration of the nature of beauty and art, as well as the principles and methods of evaluating and understanding art. 文艺学美学是文艺研究中一个重要的分支，它探讨美和艺术的本质，以及评价和理解艺术的原则和方法。

In the study of literature, aesthetics provides a framework through which scholars can examine the form and content of literary works. It allows for the analysis of the emotional and intellectual impact of literature on its readers, as well as the broader cultural and historical significance of literary texts. 在文学研究中，美学为学者们提供了一个框架，通过这个框架他们可以审视文学作品的形式和内容。

它允许分析文学作品对读者的情感和智力影响，以及文学文本的更广泛的文化和历史意义。

From a methodological perspective, aesthetics offers a range of tools and approaches for the interpretation and appreciation of literature. It encourages scholars to consider the artistic techniques and devices employed by authors, as well as the ways in which these elements contribute to the overall impact and meaning of a literary work. 从方法论的角度来看，美学为文学的解释和赏析提供了一系列的工具和方法。

On Stylistic Features of“The Force that Through the GreenFuse Drives the Flower”姓名：沙鑫课程：文体概论AbstractDylan Thomas created numbers of brilliant and profound poems in his short but glorious life, after which analyzing articles are as many as the poems. People tend to analyze purposes, backgrounds and emotions of his poems because of the multi-depth, but stylistic analysis provides a new way to understand this genius and his works in which the way his poems composed in the sense of phonology, lexicology and semantics. Because of his obsession of the theme life and death, The Force that Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower is a great example that shows his deep thoughts to find out what the essential force is to drive life and death. This article aims to give this poems a well inspection through stylistic analysis which is rarely done by others, hoping a better understanding can be cognized to this magnificent poet.Keywords:Dylan Thomas; stylistic analysis; poemI. IntroductionYoung genius, Wales born, died on a vigorous age, Dylan Thomas created a number of glorious modern poems that makes him one of the greatest poets in English literature history. Unlike peer poets, he focuses on the theme that contains real life as well as the eternal proposition of life and death. As Wang ZuoLiang(2013) concluded: “life and death are never insipid but filled with mysteries and dramatic factors, so death is like falling into a unpredictable night while life is like raising the curt ain and making your appearance.”(p. 873) Besides life and death, his poems are often full of images like blood, instinct, lust, subconsciousness and even dream. But he succeed the custom of intoning from his minstrel ancestors, which makes his poems phonologically pleasant and even sound like incantations. Interesting enough, with the overwhelmingly popular of the film Interstellar (2014), in which his famous poem Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night was quoted, he came back to people’s sights again. To review his works in a different perspective, a stylistic analysis is necessary.II. DefinitionStylistic features are situationally bound features that based on variety of language and linguistic features. They can be found at the three distinct levels of language: phonological, lexicogrammatical and semantic. Stylistic analysis starts with linguistic facts and the linguistic choices the writers have made usually contains two parts: Deviation and Repetition which make the feature stand out and is called Foregrounding. As a result, this paper is going to analyze Dylan Thomas’s famous poems: The Force that Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower.III.TextThe force that through the green fuse drives the flowerDrives my green age；that blasts the roots of treesIs my destroyer.And I am dumb to tell the crooked roseMy youth is bent by the same wintry fever.The force that drives the water through the rocksDrives my red blood；that dries the mouthing streamsTurns mine to wax.And I am dumb to mouth unto my veinsHow at the mountain spring the same mouth sucks.The hand that whirls the water in the poolStirs the quicksand；that ropes the blowing windHauls my shroud sail.And I am dumb to tell the hanging manHow of my clay is made the hangman's lime.The lips of time leech to the fountain head；Love drips and gathers，but the fallen bloodShall calm her sores.And I am dumb to tell a weather's windHow time has ticked a heaven round the stars.And I am dumb to tell the lover's tombHow at my sheet goes the same crooked worm.IV. Phonological featuresAs a descendant of minstrel, Dylan Thomas’s poems are phonologically pleasant by adopting many phonological features.1.AssonanceTake The Force that Through t he Green Fuse Drives the Flower as an example, Dylan didn’t follow the strict rule of rhyme—repetition of the vowel with the same end consonant, instead he used assonance to arouse the addressee’s sensitivity to the sound quality of his poem.①e.g.…is my destroyer.…My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.Here destroyer [dɪ'strɒɪə] and fever ['fiːvə] are two assonances.In the second stanza of this poem, the combination of consonant [k] and [s] is frequently used.I think Sound Symbolism is adopted here. [k] and [s] suggest a harsh feeling to readers and may stand for the coarseness of life and death.②e.g.[ks]: rocks, wax, sucks.2.AlliterationAlliteration is repetition of the previous initial consonant which is also widely employed in this poem.③e.g.The Force that Through the Fuse Drives the Flower.In the three words Force, Fuse and Flower, [f] is the repeated initial consonant. What’s more, in the other two words The and That, [ð] is repeated here. These two alliterations suggest a feeling of violence which shows the unknown force that control life and death is powerful.More examples:W hirls the W ater… the li ps of time lee ch… w eather’s w ind…3.Graphological features—Loss of titleTitle is an important part of the poem，playing the role of pointing out the theme of it. However，poets sometimes deliberately omit the title so as to leave the poem open to readers’ interpretation. In this poem, the first line of first stanza: The force that through the green fuse drives the flower is taken as the title of this poem like his other poems, which not only gives the readers a impression of direct expressing of poet’s emotion but also leave the readers an ample space to think the theme of this poem.V. Lexical and Grammatical features1.Repetition of wordsWords like “the force”, “drives”, “blood”, “mouth” and “dumb” are repeated several times inthis poem. They emphasize the unknown force that drives the cycle of life and death that confuses the poet and makes him “dumb” to tell why the cycle goes on and on. Though the poet changed the “force” into words like “hand” and “time” in the third and fourth stanza, they still represent the “force” that drives the cycle only in the more visible and specific way.2.Repetition of linesIn every stanza of this poem, “And I am dumb to tell…” is repeated after different descriptions of the cycle of life and death. They all contribute to the establishment of poet’s image: a regular man( maybe a gentle lover according to “And I am dumb to tell the lover’s tomb”) who is confused with the cycle of life and death and can’t do anything to stop or change it.3.Conversion and PunsDistinctive types of word formation are used in this poem. Conversion means the changing of part of speech, for ins tance, in the line “I am dumb to mouth unto my veins”, “mouth” is used as a verb which shows the poet can’t explain why the mountain spring mouth can suck water. Similarly, in the line “the hand…that ropes the blowing wind”, “rope” is used as verb too whic h can mean the hand that drives life and death tie up the breath of life(blowing wind). Puns usually refers to the use of two meanings of the same word which is often used in this poem. For example, in the line “And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose; My youth is bent by the same winter fever”, “bent” means not only the damage to the rose but also the young death.4.Connotative meaningConnotative meaning refers to all kinds of associations words may evoke, particularly in certain emotional, situational contexts, over and above the basic or central referential meaning of words. Though words may evoke different connotations to people of different language background, the emotion or cognition to death is generally universal for humans. As a result, in this poem, many words contain connotative meaning of life and death. For example, in the line “How of my clay is made the hangman’s lime”, “clay” means mud, but according to the Bible, God created human with mud, so “clay” can also refers to life here. “lime” means to strew lime onto the dead body of criminals in order to accelerate the decomposing which in the poem can be a symbol of death. So in this line, life(clay) and death(lime) is unified and a cycle is being made. What’s more, the word “crooked rose” in the first stanza has a denotative meaning of “damagedflower”, but in this poem it can refer to perishing life or love.Another example is the line “The hand that whirls the water in the pool; Stirs the quicksand”. “Quicksand” is a pit filled with loose wet sand into which objects are sucked down and here in the poem it stands for death. On the other hand, “the hand” refers to the healing hand of angle in Bible, therefore, “the hand” becomes the force that can drives both life and death.VI. Semantic FeaturesTraditional figures of speech are divided into two parts: schemes and tropes. Schemes comprise those figures which arrange words into patterns of foregrounded regularity of form(such as alliteration, parallelism); Tropes refers to those figures which twist words away from their usual meanings or collocations to produce deviations(such as metaphor, oxymoron and irony). Since schemes have been discussed in the phonological features, I will focus on the tropes here.1.Figurative meaningFigurative meaning is a very common type of extension of meaning for a word or an expression through sense association. It is often used to make statements more concrete and lively.1.1 MetaphorMetaphor is the use of words that indicate something different from their literal meaning. For example, in the line “The force …that dries the mouthing streams turns mine to wax.”, it means the red blood of poet has been turned into dry wax, indicating the coming of death. In the line “The lips of time leech to the fountain head”, time is presented as a leech that sucks life from the beginning(fountain head), and time has been personified here because commonly lips are for human in literal works.1.2 SynecdocheSynecdoche is a trope by which one part of one thing is applied to signify the whole or vice versa. For example, in the line “The hand…that ropes the blowing wind hauls my shroud sail”, here “shroud” is a rope leading to the ship masthead to give lateral support to the masts, which I think can refer to the whole ship of life and “the hand” has controlled it just like the unknown force that controls life.2.AbsurdityAbsurdity refers to a combination of two expressions which are semantically incompatible, orstatement which is apparently self-contradictory. The former is oxymoron, and the latter is paradox. They often shock the reader into a fresh awareness of something that is otherwise received as commonplace.2.1 OxymoronOxymoron is a figure of speech in which markedly contradictory terms appear in conjunction so as to emphasize the statement. The most outstanding oxymoron in this poem is in the last line of first stanza “My youth is bent by the same wintery fever.” Here “wintery fever” is a ingenious combination of two contradictive words: winter and fever. As we all know, winter usually can be very cold and fever is when somebody get a rising temperature, but no matter which situation it is, it will do harm to the vitality of living things, which indicates the destructive power of “the force”.2.2 ParadoxA paradox is a statement of conclusion that seems self-contradictory or absurd but is really true. It is a kind of extended oxymoron. For example, in the line “The hand that whirls the water in the pool Stirs the quicksand”, “the hand” is supposed to be a kind and h ealing figure according to the Bible, but in the poem it turns into a sort of force that accelerates the death by stirring the quicksand. This paradox enhances the power of the unknown force that drives the cycle of life and death.3.Honest DeceptionHonest deception refers to the deliberately use of overstatement, understatement or words which are clearly opposite to what one really means.3.1 HyperboleHyperbole is a figure of speech in which exceptional exaggeration is deliberately used for emphasis rather than deception. For example, in the line “How time has ticked a heaven round the stars”, poet seems to indicate that time controls the motion of celestial bodies, which is obviously disobeying the scientific law and exaggerating. On the other hand, it is this exaggeration that enhances the power of the unknown force.3.2 IronyIrony is often used for wit and humor, sometimes for ridicule and sarcasm. In this poem, irony is used in the every last two lines of each stanza—“And I am dumb to…” . in fact, the poetis not dumb, because he noticed so many phenomenon in the nature that contain life and death and frankly the mystery of life and death is the most difficult one for people to solve. Here the poet said “I am dumb” is only a way to show how confusing it can be when it comes to life and death. VII. ConclusionStylistic analysis from three distinct levels of this poem shows us that it is not enough for someone who just has talent but lack of basic knowledge of linguistics to be a great poet or to write a masterpiece. Dylan Thomas combines his talent with the appropriate adoption of linguistic regularities and impresses the reader with his deep thoughts of life and death. Like his other poems, repetition of certain words and lines emphasizes the both the theme and the emotion of the poet, and well-chosen collocation of words make his poem not only catchy but also easy to understand. Widely used figurative devices contribute to the abundant images of this poem and also help to evoke the readers to think deeply about the real connotation. To sum up, stylistic analysis helps reader to appreciate this poem in a different perspective and further to other English poems.References廖云飞,(2014).

文体学分析的方法

Intonation
Falling : definiteness, certainty, completeness * Low fall: cold and reserved, detached, dispassionate, serious, calm * High fall: friendly, lively, warm
In spoken language, different elements may produce different stylistic effects: stress, length, pause, intonation, speed of delivery, voice quality and so on.

Stylistic analysis
Stylistic analysis is generally concerned with the uniqueness of a text; that is, what it is that is peculiar to the uses of language in a literary text for delivering the message. This naturally involves comparisons of the language of the text with that used in conventional types of discourse. Thus, we may conclude that stylistic analysis is an activity that is highly comparative in nature.

literature analysis method

literature analysis method
文学分析是一种系统的方法，用于探索文本的语言和结构。

它帮助我们更深入地理解文学作品，揭示作品中隐藏的主题和意义。

以下是一些常用的文学分析方法：
1. 主题分析：通过识别文本中的重复元素和情感，以及作者的态度和观点，来确定作品的主题。

2. 符号分析：通过分析作品中使用的符号和象征物，来揭示作品的意义。

3. 结构分析：分析作品的叙事结构、语言和节奏，来理解作品的结构和组织方式。

4. 人物分析：分析作品中的人物形象、性格和行为，来阐述作品的主题和意义。

5. 文化分析：通过分析作品的历史、文化和社会背景，来理解作品的意义和价值。

以上是一些常用的文学分析方法，通过采用不同的方法，我们可以更好地理解文学作品，领悟作品的深层含义。

文体计量学

文体计量学
文体计量学（stylometry）是一门研究文本的风格和语言特征的学科。

它结合了计量学和文学研究，旨在通过对文本的定量分析来揭示作者的风格、特征和其他文学元素。

文体计量学的目标是使用统计工具和计算方法来识别和量化文本中的模式，以便揭示作者、时期或文学流派之间的差异。

文体计量学的一些主要应用包括：
1.作者识别：通过分析文本的词汇、句法结构、使用的词汇等方
面，文体计量学可以帮助确定文本的作者。

这在法律领域和文
学研究中都有实际应用。

2.作品归属问题：有时候，文学作品的真实作者可能不为人所知，
文体计量学可以通过对比已知作者的作品，尝试确定这些作品
的真实创作者。

3.文学研究：文体计量学可用于分析文学作品、时期或流派之间
的差异，有助于研究文学发展和演变的趋势。

4.抄袭检测：文体计量学可以用于检测文本之间的相似性，有助
于发现抄袭行为。

文体计量学的方法包括词汇频率分析、句法结构分析、标点符号使用分析等。

计量学家可以使用各种统计模型和算法来处理大量文本数据，从而得出有关文本作者、风格和特征的结论。

然而，文体计量学也面临一些挑战，因为一些作者可能有意地改变他们的写作风格，而且语言是一个动态的系统，其规律可能随时间而变化。

文体与文体学讲义(+怎样分析英诗)

文体与文体学讲义第一章文体与文体学In this chapter, two major concerns will be presented, one is the definition, the origin, goal, and procedure of stylistics, another the definition of style, which is a heated discussion in academic areas.Part I Stylistics1 Definition of StylisticsStylistics in simple terms means the study of style.Widdowson (1975:3), “By stylistics, I mean the study of literary discourse from a linguistics orientation and I shall take the view that what distinguishes stylistics from literary criticism on the one hand and linguistics on the other hand is that it is essentially a means of linking the two.”Leech, holds a similar view. He defines stylistics as “the study of the use of language in literature”(1969:1), and considers stylistics a “meeting-ground of linguistics and literary study”(1969:2) From what Widdowson and Leech say, we can see that stylistics is an area of study which straddle two disciplines: literary criticism and linguistics.It takes literary discourse (text) as its object of study and uses linguistics as a means to that end. Now stylistics has developed into an interdisciplinary area of study with explicit aims and effective techniques, and promises to offer useful insights into literary criticism and the teaching of literature.English stylistics has developed on the basis of traditional rhetoric which may be traced back to Aristole’s time. Nevertheless, it was the ‘three revolutions’ in social science that brought it to the right track and brought it about its present status.One of the revolutions is the modernist movement in art and literature, lasting from 1890 to the beginning of World War II. To a great extent, the revolution was a break with tradition in the ways it influenced both the content and language of literature. From this movement onwards, creative writers exercise no restraints on the sort of language they use in their writing. In modernist literature, readers could find much to surprise them in respect to content as well as language.Another revolution is the one in literature criticism which has had a profound and radical influence on stylistics. In the 1930’s, the critical theorist, I.A. Richards, expressed his dissatisfaction with those critics of his age. In his opinion, they seemed to be too much preoccupied with literature’s role in educating the readers morally and emotionally. He called for a more objective approach to literary texts. in his famous book, Practical criticism, he established an approach to poetry which depend on close reading of the text. He was joined by scholars such as Willian Empson whose work Seven Types of Ambiguity had a wide influence and promoted the concept of ambiguity as a defining linguistic characteristic of poetry. Their insistence on close reading of the text and analysis of language of the text coincides with the starting point of stylistics, thus greatly facilitating its development.The third revolution took place in linguistic science starting in the late 1950. It was initiated by the work of Noam Chomsky and Michael Halliday whose thoughts were directly or indirectly influenced by the linguistic theory of F. de Sassure, the founder of modern linguistics. Chomsky’s transformational-generative grammar revealed a system of surface structure and deep structure in English syntax. It also brought about a new awareness of how the human mind is innately able to systematize reality by the use of language. Halliday’s systemic grammar has offered many insights into the methods of text analysis, particularly in respect of cohesion between sentences in discourse. The work done in the field of linguistics in the last three decades has provided the stylistician with effective and completely new tools for investigating language in use in both literature and other types of discourse. The above mentioned revolutions, in their own ways, have played a fundamental role in shaping stylistics into the important interdisciplinary field of academic study that it is today.1.2 The origin of stylistics and its research school文体学首先来自于古代的修辞学，来自于亚里斯多得的修辞论。

文体学2-方法论

2. Procedures of Analysis
Stylistic analysis can help us answer at least three questions: 1.What does the text mean? 2.How does the text mean what it means? 3.Why is the text valued as it is?
2.2 Textual analysis
A text is any passage, spoken or written, long or short, that forms a unified whole. It may be the product of a single speaker or writer (e.g. a sign, a letter, a news report, a novel), or that of several speakers (e.g. a piece of conversation, a debate).
2.1.1
Generally,
Consistency and Frequency
we recognize a style only when certain choices of language recur or prevail in a text. To testify our observation, frequencies of certain language features should be computed.
2.1.2 Norm and Comparison
How
is the norm formed? Norm itself is based on comparison. Only by comparing a large quantity of language material used in similar context, can we find out the norm. Milic made a study of the connectives used by four famous writers in 2000 sentences and worked out the norm.

文学文体的分析方法

文学文体的分析方法“文学文体学”特指以阐释文学文本的主题意义和美学价值为目的的文学流派。

文学文体学是连接语言学和文学批评的桥梁，它集中讨论作者如何通过对语言的选择来表达和加强主题意义和美学效果。

语言学理论和方法在这一派别看来不过是帮助进行分析的工具。

由于其目的在于帮助进行文学批评而非有助于发展语言学理论，仅关注与主题意义和美学效果相关的语言特征，因此在语言描写的系统性方面往往较为薄弱。

我们可以采用多种方法分析文学的文体。

根据语篇的体裁和分析目的的不同，下面几种方法有助于分析文学语篇的语法结构和篇章意义。

句法层面（句子结构上的突出特点：简单句？复合句？）；词义的结构方式（有无词义重叠、空白现象？有无反义词、同义词、上义词、下义词等？诙谐风格？严肃风格？）；修辞格（有无明显的常用修辞格？）一、诗歌文体分析方法：对诗歌文体进行分析主要是从诗歌的相关信息与诗歌本身的结构形式两方面着手。

相关信息包括：题目、作者、写作年代、体裁（史诗、挽歌、十四行诗等）、题材（爱情、战争、宗教、风景等）；诗歌本身的结构形式包括以下几个方面：1、总体布局（诗节中的诗行长度大体是否一致？）；2、诗行数目（全诗有多少行？）；3、诗行长度（每行都多少个音节？音节的长度是否规则？）；4、格律（有多少个音步？轻重音的排列数序如何？即属抑扬格、扬抑格、扬扬抑格、抑抑扬格等中的哪一种？）如没有规则的格律形式就要看是否是无韵诗、自由诗或特殊格律的诗歌以达到某种拟声效果；5、韵律（头韵、尾韵、行中韵等）；6、修辞格（明喻、暗喻、提喻、典故等常用修辞格）；7、标点符号、字母大小写等。

二、小说文体分析方法：1、出处、作者（风格）、主题2、叙述视角（第几人称叙述）3、语言特点（全文句式结构、词汇简单与否？正式还是口语化？描述性还是评论性？有无杜撰新词、违背语法规则现象？）4、逻辑特点（是否意识流？）5、人物会话特点（语言学会话三原则）6、修辞格等三、散文文体分析方法：何为散文，目前尚无统一的确切定义。

谈英语文体的定量分析

11 文体的基本概念在语言学里 ,style 是指集体或者个人在谈话或者写
作中运用语言的方式 (哈特曼 & 斯托克 1981 : 335 336) ,stylistics 便是研究 style 的语言学学科。
从研究目标来看 ,文体学可以分为规定文体学和描写文体学。规定文体学的研究目标是确定语言运用的文体规范。文体规范与语法规范的性质有所不同。语法规范要区分“正确”和“错误”的用法 ,在中小学英语教课书里有不少英语语法规则 ,如名词复数构成和动词过去时的变化规则等。只有遵守语法规则 ,使用正确的语法形式 ,人们才有可能生成正确的句子。但是 ,语言是一个符号系统 ,了解并掌握符号与对象 (符号的语义方面) 、符号与符号 (符号的句法方面) 、符号与使用者 (符号的语用方面) 的关系是正确使用语言的前提。语法上正确的句子不一定是特定交际场合里最得体的语句。侯维瑞举过一个例子 :两个小孩打架 ,其中一个发出警告 ,试图阻止对方。
英国文体学家 Michael Short 曾把文体分析概括为互为关联的三个步骤 ,其关系如下 (转引自 Wright &
Hope 2000 : F13) : Description → Interp retation → Evaluation
(mainly linguistic) 三个步骤的观点既适合文体的定性分析 ,也适合文体的定量分析。对文体进行定量分析时 ,首先要建立文体的总体或者抽取标本 ,选择并优化统计参数 ,然后再设法将各参数的频率数据统计出来 ,随后对统计结果进行解释 ,说明各参数及统计结果的语言学意义 ,最后是对文体进行评估、赏析。定量分析的应用范围很广 ,可以是文学作品 ,也可以是各种实用文体。定量分析首先是在文学领域得到一定的应用。国外早已有人利用统计法对某些作家或者作品的风格进行统计分析了 ,还出现了 stylostatistics (文体统计学) 、stylometics (计量修辞学) 这样的术语。如 Milic 对作家福克纳和斯坦因进行过统计研究 ,结果表明福克纳的句子平均长度达到 38 个词 ,而斯坦因的句子平均长度只达到 30 个词 ( Milic 1991 :393) 。Milic 还利用计算机对斯威夫特 (Swift ) 作品中的词汇、短语、句子、词性以及句子结尾的词的频率进行了分析 , 他声称 :“an
