文体学是一门研究语言风格的学科,我们所讲的是现代文体学,其又分为一般文体学和文学文体学。

前者主要是各种文体的一般特征,后者是各种文学作品的特别特征,两者研究有重叠。

语言是人们进行社交的工具,包括:言语行为,言语事件和文本。

言语事件包括三要素:实体,形式和情境。

语言具有多样性,不同的场合使用不一样的语言,承担着不同的功能,如语言的指示功能,表达功能和文本功能。

风格,是个人或群体的语言使用习惯。

学习文体学使我们对不同的语言特色或风格有个系统的知识,熟悉不同文学题材的不同特点,深化我们对文学作品的理解力和欣赏力。

此外,文体学给翻译和语言教学也提供了有效地方法。

文体学作为一门学科并不是独立存在的,它与多个学科如修辞学,文学评论等有着密切的关系。

第二章:文体学学习的必要性。

文体学作为一门研究语言风格的学科,分析不同的语言特色。

第三章:语言变体文体学把语言变体主要分为方言变体和语域变体。

前者是由于不同的地域风俗习惯形成的,而后者是由于场合的不同而形成的。

方言变体和语域变体是相互依存的。

方言变体又分为:个人习语,即个人用语习惯;短暂性方言,每个时代的有其特别的语言特点,语言是时代的烙印;地域方言,不同地域的不同方言,每个地方读有其不同的说话习惯;社会方言即社会不同阶层如富人和穷人,使用不同的语言;和标准方言,方言也有标准和不标准之分。

The chosen expression is the style .another is that the choice refers to the choice of meaning. The choice of language is at the same time a choice of meaning and a choice of style .2,what is the significance of studying the style of language in learning and teaching English?Anwser, the answer is that if we want to use language appropriately in different situations , we need to study style .as foreign language learners, if we disregard the rules of using what variety of language in what occasion , or fail to obey them through ignorance , language can become instead a barrier to successful communication . Therefore its necessary to have a clear awareness of how language should be used in different types of situations especially in unfamiliar situations.3, what factors can result in differences in style ?Answer , 1, the different types of vocabulary create different images of the events in the re ader’s mind, so they can result in different styles.2,people living in different periods of time in history will also speak differently ,and that will result in a different style.Chapter21, explain the following terms1),foregrounding: the stylistically significant features have to be prominent and motivated ,that is ,foregrounded.2),incongruity: the linguistic features depart from the normal use of language ,breaking the rules grammar ,spelling ,pronunciation.3)deflection : the linguistic features don’t depart from the established grammatical, lexical and logical rules and principles ,but have an unexpected high frequency of occurrence.4),field; its concerned with what is happening ,including the subject matter,the events happenings,going-ons, the content ,etc5)tenor: its concerned with who is taking part in the exchange of meaning ----the relationship between the speaker and the listener ,their relative status,their attitude,and their role relations .6)mode: its concerned with how the interaction is conducted ,that is whether it is written or spoken ,or whether it is expressed by phonic substance or graphic substance.2,question for discussion2)in rhetorical series,the number of items can influence the stylistic effect.try to analyze the causes on the basis of social culture.Answer :different numbers of words can produce different stylistic effects in the appropriate contexts. Two items express assertion ,that is ,it is just this ,not that .In appropriate situations three items can produce ethic ,persuasive, and representative effect. Four or more items in a seriesstress a large number of the concrete things ,and these can produce an imagery in the mind of the reader that the large amount of things constitutes a significant situation in which certain aspect are highlighted. Another function of the rhetorical series is to use concrete items to highlight abstract concepts so that the abstract concept can be expressed in concrete ,lively and vivid way to enhance the aesthetic value of language.3)what factors affect the writer’s selection of words and styleAnswer : five criteria for the selection of words :whether they are familiar or not familiar, whether they are concrete or abstract, whether they are single or more ,whether they are short and simple. Or long. Whether they are Anglo –saxon words or latin words .field ,tenor ,mode affect the writer’s selection of style.4)what is the criterion used to classify wordsAnswer :we can use more systematic way to classify word according to register and dialect .register:field ,tenor , mode .dialect: regional dialect,such as London dialect;social dialect such as dialect of age, race,etc.temporal dialect such as od English .5)through what channels can words be used to achieve transferred meaning?Answer :simile :x is like Y, eg as busy as bee. Metaphor: X is Y ,eg he is a pig. Synecdoche eg many hands represent the people who work with their hands . Metonymy eg purse represent money.Chapter31,explain the following terms1),chiasmus:chiasmus is formed by inverting the word order of the second part of a parallel structure,so it forms a kind of antithetical structure. Eg:let us never negotiate out of fear,but let us never fear to negotiate.2)antistrophe: it is the repetition of the same items but in inverted order ,eg:what’s polly to me,or me to polly?3)epizeuxis:it is a continuous repetition for high lighting a particular feature.4)ploce: the repetition is not continuous , but intermittent or dispersed in the text.5)loose sentence: put the major idea first and than the illustration .such a sentence is easy to grasp .6)periodic sentence:a periodic sentence can be used to create suspense,or expectation, thus drawing the listener’s attention to the end of the sentence.it can be used to produce humorous and emphatic effect .2,question for discussion1),there are many types of syntactic deflection ,but they have one thing in common :recurrence of structures. How is syntactic deflection classified?Answer :there are two type of syntactic deflection :the unexpected high frequency of occurrence of a certain type of sentence; and the overregular occurrence of a particular pattern .2)the high frequency of occurrence of long and short sentence can create stylistic effect .apart from the difference in expressive meanings ,what are other characteristics of the two types of sentences?Answer : long sentences are good to provide the detailed descriptions ,and are good to reveal the mental activities of the speaker .so they are used to produce a vivid, rich, exuberant, luxuriousstyle. Short sentence:can produce direct ,terse ,concise ,clear effect or continuous ,compact ,swift effect ,so that it creates certain atmosphere , and leave a deep impression on the listeners.3) why do writers often violate the rule of grammar? What do we cal this violation?Answer: we call this violation syntactic incongruity .the violation of the grammatical rules can be used to produce certain stylistic effects. The so-called ungrammatical sentences are used to represent the different varieties of language according to register and dialect. In literary works, dialectical and personal features of speech are often used to depict the personality of the characters. In poetry, the poet often uses deviant grammatical structures to achieve special effects, makes lines terse and concise, to make it rich in meaning.4)what is the function of rhetorical questions?Answer: A rhetorical question is to use the form of a question in order to express a strong emotion or to emphasize a particular aspect. The function of inverted sentence is to make a declarative sentence more powerful, to attract the listener’s attention, or to induce others’ sympathy. Arranged in parallelism, rhetorical questions can express strong emotions and increase the persuasive power.A rhetorical question can also introduce the topic of the text.5) In what ways can we use inverted sentences to achieve emphatic effect?Answer: to change the normal word order can be used to produce some emphatic effect. What is put to the initial part of the sentence is usually the focus of information of the clause and also the theme of he clause. So it is highlighted.Chapter41 explain the following terms1)Synaesthesia: it refers to the fact that sounds s are attributed with certain values or estheticfeatures. It is very casual, and supported by situational features and meaning.2)Alliteration: refers to the repetition of the initial sound usually a consonant, or a vowel at firstposition, in two or more words that occur close together.3)Assonance: refers to the use of the same or related vowel sounds in successive words. It cancreate harmonious effect.4)Consonance: refers to the repetition of the last consonants of the stresses words at the end ofthe lines.2 questions for discussion1)What are the characteristic of spoken language and written language respectively?Answer: spoken language: 1 it can directly be accompanied by other non-linguistic means as the aid; 2 it is generally speaking not as formal as written language; 3 it permits errors in the process of production; 4 it uses a particular grammar, a grammar characteristics of spoken language. 5 homophones can be used for special stylistic effects, such as pun; 6 some implications are best represented by special sound features; 7 sound feature can represent the feature of regional dialect or social dialect.Written language:1 as written language communication is usually not a direct one, but is delayed in time and at different places, the writer generally has time to get well prepared and revise the text before he sends it out to the reader;2 as space is limited, it has special grammatical features so as to put more meaning in it .there are many nominalizations to make sentences into groups;3 written language is often used in a more formal situation; 4 as time is enough, it is usually writtenin a more detailed and logical way;5 as written language is more purposeful, and for a single specific goal, it is usually more constant and developed around a single subject.2)How many sound patterns do we have? What special stylistic effects can be achieved by them? Answer: these sound patterns include alliteration which can create harmony, connection and achieve special stylistic effects, assonance which can create harmonious effect, and consonance 3)What factors can influence graphological prominence? .Answer: there are three distinctive factors that can produce graphological prominence: marking, spacing and sequence. Marking refers to the use of written symbols to convey information; space is spacing arrangement departing from this normal way of spacing can be used to achieve stylistic effects.4 In modern English, punctuation marks are patterned and standardized. How can we use punctuation marks for special stylistic purpose?Answer: period typically occurs at the end of a declarative sentence. If period occurs in unexpected high frequency of occurrence, it often means that the text mainly functions to provide information; comma is used to mark the unit larger than a word, however, in Charles Dickens’ Dombey and Son, comma is used to indicate syllables; exclamation marks can be used to carry emotional coloring, a mark of expressing special feelings; parentheses are used for further explanation; the ellipsis of punctuation marks produces an illogical and non-sequential image. Chapter71 explain the following terms1)Guide: guide is the further explanation of the headline, it consists of six elements; location, character, event, mode, time, and cause.2)Nominalization: refers to a grammatical phenomenon in which the meaning which is normally expressed by a clause is here expressed by a phrase, so clause nominalization is normal. It is contracted.3)The highlighting method: from the productive point of view, the columnist can publish the whole story, or he can cut off some parts from the end. He can even cut off the main body.4)Meaning contraction: using the smallest form to get the most meaning.5)Journalese words: as new report requires the speaker to use the least form to get the most meaning, and it has to be fresh and attractive, so the words in news report is short and new.2 questions for discussion1) What are semantic features of news report?Answer:1 In terms of ideational meaning, apart from the semantic field of news report, it covers virtually all areas of meaning systems ;2 in terms of interpersonal meaning, it stresses objectivity;3 in terms of textual meaning, it has the feature of meaning contraction.3) Most of the headlines are elliptical sentences.

Tell how this contradiction is revolved in news report.Answer: besides its authenticity and objectivity, news report should also emphasize concreteness and detailedness. Therefore, the writer often gives background information and details by using parenthesis.

In terms of syntactic structure, the sentences and the clauses are usually short as the commentator has no time to give detailed description of the event, and the sentences contain fewer words than usual. From the perspective of lexical features, the words are mostly simple in structure, they are short and simple; they are mostly composed of verbs, and proper names; there might be specialized terms depending on the subject matter of the commentary.

First, the conveyed information should be correct; sometimes a small mistake would cause a great loss in a deal and even affect business relations between two parties. Second, the conveyed information should be complete. For example, if we order some commodities, we should state names of commodities, delivery dates, consignees, methods of payment, etc.2)In business English sometimes active voice is used, and sometimes passive voice is preferred. Point out what stylistic features can be achieved through using voices.Answer: In business English, both active voice and passive voice can be used, but there is a tendency towards preference of active voice in today’s business communication. Active voice is shorter in form and economic in words compared with passive voice. Thus active voice is more effective in stylistic effect than passive voice; besides, active voice can make style more familiar and less formal. But in some cases, passive voice is necessary. When we discuss something negative, we should avoid blaming the other party directly, in addition, passive voice can make business English style more formal, and the conveyed information more objective.3)Why should business letters be written in a way of consideration and courtesy?Answer: In business communication, in order to make it more efficient, we should be considerate of others and polite to others. “You- Atti tude”is very important principle in business communication, that is, we should think ourselves back into the shoes of others so as to cooperate sincerely. 4)The use of technical terms and abbreviations is one stylistic feature of business English. State the reason of this phenomenon.Answer: using technical terms and abbreviations can avoid long and tedious explanation, which is one lexical feature of business English. Such as L/C----letter of credit5)Why should we avoid clichés in business English?Answer: clichés are words or expressions which have lost their originality or effectiveness because they have been used too often. In old-fashioned business English there are a large number of clichés, which should be avoid in present-day business communication.Chapter91, explain the following terms2) Redundancy: in order to avoid opaqueness and ambiguity, it has express clearly what everyone knows and takes for granted. This makes the legal language redundant clumsy and hard to understand.3) Common words: many of the legal words come from ordinary language with the common core features especially those high-frequency words, such as prepositions, conjunctions, articles, etc.4) specialized words: specialized words are necessary for two important aspects of legal language. The first is that for the field of law itself, and the second is that for many non-legal field concerned with legal affairs. There are two sources of specialized legal words: common words endowed with legal meanings and archaic words.2, question for discussion1)Why is legal English syntactically complex?Answer: syntactic Complexity: as its main function is to ensure preciseness and accuracy and block any leakage, the draftsmen of legal documents have to be very carful and scrupulous, and the legal texts have to be able to stand the text of time .therefore legal language is rich in modifications, circumlocutions, and complex logic relations.2)Legal English is very conservative in form. Explain it from a historical perspective.Answer: conservativeness: as the legal language is produced by careful phrasing and tested over a long time, nobody dares to alter the structure of legal English, so that its structures become old-fashioned and archaic. The representative legal language in such a way is English legal language.3) What is the reason that there are many legal words of French source?Answer: because after the Norman Conquest, French because the official language used for all state affairs including law in Great Britain. That is why many French loan words were found in law afterwards.4) What are the lexical features of legal English?Answer: legal vocabulary mainly comes from French. (2) Legal words can be divided into following three types: 1, common words2, specialized words3, Multi-register words.。

Chapter 4Deep-structure Deviation: it refers to semantic deviation, which may be defined as “Linguistic effects involving something odd in the cognitive meaning of a certain linguistic unit, e. g., a word or phrase” (Leech, 1969; 131)”4.1 ContradictionContradiction is a type of semantic deviation which conveys self-conflicting information. It can be readily divided into two types which are termed in rhetoric oxymoron and paradox.4.1.1 OxymoronOxymoron is “the yoking together of two expressions which are incompatible, so that in combination they have no conceivable literal reference to reality” (Leech, 1969:132) Understanding:It is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction. The conjunction of words which, at first view, seem to be contradictory or incongruous, but whose surprising juxtaposition expresses a truth or dramatic effect, such as, cool fire, deafening silence, wise folly, etc. ...Example: Dudley Field Malene called my conviction a , “victorious defeat .”4.1.2 ParadoxA paradox is a statement which is absurd because it is self-evidently false.In brief, oxymoron and paradox are devices that allow the literary writer to express a certain truth or message through apparent falsehood.Understanding:It is a seemingly absurd or contradictory statement, even if actually well-founded. And it is a true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition. The term is also used for an apparent contradiction that actually expresses anon-dual truth.Example: His complaint is too funny not to be taken seriously.4.2 TransferenceTransference of meaning is the process whereby literary absurdity leads the mind to comprehension on a figurative plane. Transference in literature refers to such traditional figures of speech as synecdoche, metonymy and metaphor.4.2.1 SynecdocheSynecdoche is a type of transference of meaning which involves the substitution of a part for the whole.Understanding: a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa. And it involves the use of a narrower or a more general term to designate something, eg "a sail!" meaning "a ship!"Example: The case had erupted round my head.4.2.2 MetonymyMetonymy is another type of transference which involves substitution, and therefore has often been confused with synecdoche. However, metonymy is the substitution of a word referring to an attribute of the thing that is meant, rather than the substitution of a part for the whole, or the whole for a part.Understanding: It is the substitution of the name of one thing for that of another. Example: Mark Twain‟s pen would prove mightier than his pickax.4.2.3 MetaphorMetaphor, the figurative meaning is derived from the literal meaning or it is, as it were, the literal meaning. There are three elements in a metaphor.Ⅰ.tenor (for the literal meaning) Ⅱ. Vehicle (for the figurative meaning) Ⅲ. The ground (of comparison)Metaphor has been classified into types in different ways. There are five main types of metaphor, grouped partly in accordance with Chapman‟s organ ization. (1983:81-82)A.One type of sensory perception is expressed in terms of another,e.g.B. A non-human referent is given human attributes, e.g.C. A non-animate referent is given animate characteristics, e. g.D.An abstraction is treated as if it were animate, e.g.E. A human referent is treated either as an inanimate being or an animal or a bird, e.g. Understanding: Metaphors are comparisons that equate two entities to show that the two distinct entities are similar/comparable in one important way. Metaphors are a way to describe something. Authors use them to make their writing more interesting or entertaining.Unlike similes that use the words "as" or "like" to make a comparison, metaphors state that something is something else.Example: Her eyes were pools of water.4.3 DeceptionDeception simply refers to the deliberate use of overstatement, understatement and irony, each of which misrepresents the truth in some way.4.3.1 OverstatementOverstatement is termed hyperbole in traditional rhetoric. It distorts the truth by great exaggeration. It is usually used to emphasize strong feeling and to create a sentimental, satiric or comic effect.Understanding: Overstatement- making something seems more important than it really is. An overstatement is often metaphorical.Example: The trial that rocked the world.4.3.2 UnderstatementUnderstatement is the opposite of overstatement in that it misrepresents the truth by deliberately understating is as opposed to exaggerating it. There are two types of understatement, namely litotes and meiosis. Litotes is the most common and is marked by the use of a negative construction. It is employed to foreground a positive emphasis. Meiosis is merely understatement without the use of a negative construction, e.g.Understanding: Understatement is a form of speech which contains an expression of less strength than what would be expected. This is not to be confused with euphemism, where a polite phrase is used in place of a harsher or more offensive expression.Example: It's just a flesh wound.4.3.3 IronyVerbal irony achieves emphasis also by misrepresenting the truth. It takes the form of saying the opposite of what one feels to be the case.Understanding:This term derives from a character in a Greek comedy. In most of the modern critical uses of the term “irony”, there remains the root sense of dissembling or hiding what is actually the case; not, however, in order to deceive, but to achieve rhetorical or artisticeffects.Example:You get something for free and when it stops working, you go back to the shop and ask for your money back.4.4AmbiguityAmbiguity is the case of “more than one cognitive meaning for the same piece of language (Leech, 1969:205). In non-literary discourse, ambiguity is usually taken to be the opposite of clarity and is therefore normally considered a fault. In literature, however, it is regarded as a virtue, roughly correspondent to …richness‟ or …wit‟, for in literature we are ready to read extra-meanings.Ambiguity can be purely phonetic resulting from homophony, i.e. words that have the same pronunciation but differ in form and meaning.Understanding: Ambiguity means a word or phrase that suggests more than one connotation. Most cases of ambiguity are at the level of lexis, resulting from either homonymy or polysemy.Example: I can't recommend this book too highly.Chapter 5 Phonological Overregularity5.1Phonological Patterning5.1.1AlliterationAlliteration is the repetition of the initial consonant cluster in stressed syllables. It is frequently found in proverbial and idiomatic expressions, and these expressions in speech are emphatic in effect, though we may not be very conscious of them. It is also a feature of tongue twisters which can create humorous effects and may be used to practice certain sounds.5.1.2 RhymeRhyme is defined as “identity of sounds between words or verse lines extending back from the end to the last fully accented vowel and not further”.The general function of rhymes is to get the texts more organized and to bestow “music” to the texts. Like alliteration ,it may also be used to achieve more significant effects. Rhymes may also be used to bind lines which are closely associated in content.5.1.3Assonance 谐音Assonance is the repetition of identical vowel or diphthong in stressed syllables. It is found not only at the end of the lines but also within the lines. Its chiefy function to unify words and ideas.Example: Think from how many treesDead leaves are broughtTo earth on seed or wing(Vernon Watkins, The Compost Heap)In this poem, trees ,leaves, and seed are used in assonance. These words are stressed rhythmically in the lines. Assonance not only contributes to musical quality of a literary text, but also to its meaning.5.1.4Consonance 辅音韵Consonance is the repetition of the final consonant cluster in stressed syllables. It may beemployed to replace rhyme. The assonance in this poem functions to make the text more organized and at the same time adds to the musical quality of the poem.5.1.5Onomatopoeia 象声,拟声Firstly , it refers to the use of words formed in imitation of the natural sounds associated with the object or action involved.Secondly, it is relevant to our discussion may be phrased as the recurrence of phonemes ina text unit that suggests certain natural sounds which reinforce the meaning conveyed inthat text unit.The examples of Onomatopoeia are more significant than those in the prose passages, it can give a vivid description to the sounds.5.2 Rhythmic Patterning. 5.2.1. Stress5 .2.2 Metre 格律,韵律1,1)Iamb 抑扬格:unstressed +stressedExamples: In every cry of every manIn every infant‟s cry of fear(W.Blake, london)2)Trochee 扬抑格stressed +unstressedMen of England , wherefore ploughFor the Lords who lay yellow?(P.B.

Gold! Gold! Gold!Bright and yellow, hard and coldMolten, graven, hammer‟d and roll‟dHeavy to get and light to hold.(Thomas Hood)6.1.2 Intermittent RepetitionIt is known as ploce in traditional rhetoricExample:O, how that name befits my composition,Old Gaunt indeed, and gaunt in being old.(Shakespeare, Richar dⅡ)6.2 Parallelism6.2.1 Large-scale Parallelism P135-P142It is consists of more than two juxtaposed(并列的) units.6.2.2 Small-scale Parallelism P142-P144It is consists of only two juxtaposed units.Chapter8 Speech Acts, The Cooperative Principle and Turn-taking8.1 Speech Act Theory P188-P1961)a locutionary act2) an illocutionary acta) Representativesb) Expressivesc)Verdictivesd)Directivese) Commissivesj) Declarations8.2 The Cooperative Principle1) The maxim of quantityMake your contribution as informative as is required.

第一章文体学相关研究内容文体学分为普通文体学和文学文体学,二者有重叠部分,但在此我们所研究的是普通文体学,文体学研究的是语言风格,对语言,人们的理解有很多种,但不管哪种说法,无可否认,语言都是人类表达思想、互相交流的手段,并且有很多具不同意旨的言语事件;风格是与说话人的语言习惯、时代背景相关的,是人门特有的表达方式,因人而异,对语言起到一定修饰作用并且关系到语言表达的有效性。

因此,文体学研究会涉及各种语言变体及相关特征、功用。

文体学对提高理解力和鉴赏水平有很大帮助。

此外,文体学还与语言学、修辞学及文学评论等相关联。

接下来的章节中将具体阐述相关内容。

第二章文体学研究的必要性学习文体学可以提高我们语言使用的精确性,犹如不能在婚礼上穿牛仔装一样,语言使用要合乎当时、当地的具体环境,这就涉及文体学中的言语事件;学习文体学有利于提高我们对文学作品的理解与鉴赏水平,因为文学创作中,作者不可避免会对作品的语言、风格做选择,在文学评论三部曲(描述、解读、评估)中会涉及相关内容;文体学对满足翻译适应性有很大帮助,翻译很难做到完全对应,但基本原则一致是必须的,如作品基调、作品体裁等一致。

以上文体学内容中都有涉及。

第三章语言变体在不同的社交场合,有不同的约定俗成的语体。

根据特定场合的语言习惯及其中特定说话人的语言使用,语言变体可以分为两种:方言变体和语域变体。

方言变体与不同的语言使用者相关,分为个人方言、时间方言、地域方言、社会方言和标准方言;语域变体与不同社交场合相关,其构成要素是语场、语式和语旨。

两种变体并非独立存在而是有一定的相关性,比如,在同一种族、同一领域或同一社会地位,为了增进了解,说话人可能会选择这一具某种共同特征人群的行内语言。

此外,从语言变体中,我们还可以获知说话人的某些相关信息,如职业、国家和说话意旨等。

第四章语言描述了解了语言变体,本章节探讨各种语言变体的具体表述问题,即具体语言表述。

在这个层面上,文体学提供了一种系统的分析方法,使我们对付各种文章轻而易举。

新编英语文体学教程(董启明)第一章要点

第一章文体和文体学综述1.1引言母语使用者知道在什么地方选用什么样的词,而外语使用者就不知道,因为没有在相关的地方长大,因此需要培养一种风格,也就是文体。

文体学可以帮助我们在合适的地方选用合适的词,使我们的语言更加符合当地的语言特色;还可以帮助我们更加理解语言的变体,更好地使用它们;还可以帮助我们更好的翻译文学作品;还可以帮助我们理解和鉴赏文学作品。

1.2风格的定义把如何来定义风格呢?许多人给出的定义都各不相同,有人从修辞学的角度来解读它,强调它的“有效使用”;有人从结构语言学的角度来解读它,强调语言系统内各语言单位之间的关系;还有人从转换成语言学的角度来看待它,强点不同层次语言结构转换所产生的文体效应;韩立的对风格的定义是以他的系统功能语言学为基础的。

而本书中使用的风格定义是一个通用的、面向语言的定义:表现出现显著的语言特征、装置或模式的方式,大多数(或至少)经常出现在特定语言的特定文本中。

1.3文体学的定义说完了文体,我们来说说文体学,有人说文体学就是研究文体的学科,这是不准确的。

文体学在本书中所使用的定义是:文体学语言学的一个分支,他研究不同层次的语言的不同变体的礼貌、语言特征的系统的研究方法。

1.4文体学的发展史下面我们来了解一下文体学的发展史。

文体学首先来自于古代的修辞学,来自于亚里斯多德的修辞论。

现代文体学创始人是法国文体学家巴利(索绪尔的学生)。

1.4.1西方的文体学发展史先谈一谈西方的文体学发展。

西方文体学的研究可上溯到古希腊、罗马的修辞学研究,早在公元100年就出现了德米特里厄斯的《论文体》这样集中探讨文体问题的论著。

但在20世纪之前,对文体地讨论一般不外乎主观印象式的评论,而且通常出现在修辞学研究、文学研究或语法分析之中,文体研究没有自己相对的地位。

20世纪初以来,在采用现代语言方法之后,文体分析方法逐渐深入和系统化、科学化。

现代文体学创始人是法国文体学家巴利(索绪尔的学生),他借用索绪尔的结构主义语言学反思传统修辞学,力图将文体学作为语言学的一个分支建立起来,使文体分析更为科学化和系统化。
