文体学章节总结

文体学1~7章总结第一章关于文体学本章先阐释了现代文体学的概念,即:文体学是用语言学方法研究文体风格的一门学问。

它包括普通文体学和文学文体学。

我们学习的是普通文体学,学的是多种主要语言形式的文体特点。

为了更好地理解文体学,首先,得知道语言是什么?现代语言学的开端是索素尔,他认为语言就是一个符号系统。

而布卢姆菲尔德把语言看做是一个统一的结构,是使用语言习惯的集合。

还有人说语言是社会符号。

从哲学角度看,语言是产生于社会的语言活动。

接着说了言语事件的特点,即具有实物性,形式性和情境性。

根据言语事件的特点可知语言具有多样性,如古英语,现代英语,英式英语,美式英语,口头英语,书面英语等。

接着来了解一下语言的功能。

语言具有表达人们看法的概念功能,建立和保持人际关系的人际功能,根据上下文和当前情境选词义。

这三种功能表明语言必须适应人的交流需要。

讲了文,再来了解体,即风格。

风格就是个人或群体在一定情境下的语言习惯。

再来了解文体学的研究。

这得提到索素尔,他改变了自古以来历时研究文体学的风潮,他强调共时研究。

我们学习文体学重点在于学习语言多样性的三个特点,多样性的分类标准,语言描述的特点和主要的多样性功能。

第二章学习文体学的必要性1.学习文体学有助于养成得体的言语意识。

不同情境都符合他的不同语言风格,只有学好文体学,才能更好地交流。

2.学习文体学有助于提高对文学作品的理解和鉴赏水平,作者在进行文学创作时,得考虑选择合适的词句和构建文章的结构,学习文体学,我们才知道作者为何做出这样的选择,才能更好地理解作品。

说到这,得提一下由对文学作品的不同理解而产生的文学评论。

文学评论有三个步骤,即描述、理解,评论。

文学评论也是有价值的文学创作。

3.学习文体学有助于达到得体的翻译。

我们知道,语言具有多样性,所以在翻译是有时很难翻出原始意义,译者应该了解目标语言和被翻译语言的习惯用法,这样才能翻出既尊重原文意思又能让读者身临其境的好文章。

chapter 1 Introduction (to style)

chapter 1 Introduction (to style)

Mark Twain
And he grew up and married, and raised a large family, and brained them all with an axe one night, and got wealthy by all manner of cheating and rascality; and now he is the infernalist wickedest scoundrel in his native village, and is universally respected, and belongs to the Legislature. So you see there never was a bad James in the Sunday-school books that had such a streak of luck as this sinful Jim with the charmed life. (The Story Of The Bad Little Boy)
Charles Dickens
那是最美好的时代,那是最糟糕的时代; 那是智慧的年头,那是愚昧的年头;那是信 仰的时期,那是怀疑的时期;那是光明的季 节,那是黑暗的季节;那是希望的春天,那 是失望的冬天;我们全都在直奔天堂,我们 全都在直奔相反的方向。
Mark Twain
Thus perished the good little boy who did the best he could, but didn't come out according to the books. Every boy who ever did as he did prospered except him. His case is truly remarkable. It will probably never be accounted for. (The Story Of The Good Little Boy)

英语文体学期中考试姓名:张燕箐班级:08级英语四班学号:P081011960文体学1-7章概述第一章有关文体学什么文体学?简单来说,文体学是一门研究语言运用的方法的学科;它是用来研究运用语言的风格。

现代文体学有两个分支:普通文体学与文学文体学。

普通文体学研究的是各种语言运用的普遍特征,而文学文体学则是对各种文学作品所特有的特征的研究。

但是,这两种文体学所研究的对象还存在一些共同之处。

见下表:在《英语文体学教程》这一书中,对文体学的研究,主要是指普通文体学。

而要解释什么是普通文体学就得知道什么是语言,语言的变体有哪些?什么是文体?文体学的特征是什么?有学者认为语言是一种标志,是工具。

语言经常会与编码作比,是一种标志或信号系统用来传递信息。

人们完成一件事情不仅要通过肢体语言来表达而且还有口头语言表达,这样就有了语言行为与语言事件。

说到文体学当然要提“文体”二字,文体(或文风)可以被认为是个人或群体在各种社会社交环境中运用语言的多样化。

简而言之,就是文学风格。

比如:“莎士比亚风格”、“米尔顿风格”等。

文体学的重点就在于研究语言的功能。

第二章学习文体学的必要性学习文体学有有助于更好的运用英语。

因此,对于外语学习者,有必要了解学习文体学的必要性:1.文体学帮你在交谈中建立一种恰如其分的感觉。

也就是说,懂得在适当的场合说适当的话。

比如你是一位总经理,在和一个很好的朋友喝酒时,你会说:“来,干了”!但是如果在比较正式的场合,那就得说:“我代表公司向全体员工表示感谢,感谢大家……为了公司今后的发展,干杯!”2.学习文体学能提高对文学作品的理解能力和欣赏水平。

对文学作品的评价有三个步骤:描述→口译→评估。

描述占第一位,由此看来,在文学创作中,最关键的是描述。

3.学习文体学能帮你更好的进行翻译工作。

文体学告诉我们英语的各种变体以及其功能、特点,因此,了解文体学能使我们的翻译更加贴合实际,符合原文思想。

比如“油漆未干”翻译成对应的英语应该是“Wet Paint”而不是“The paint is not dry”. 在翻译过程中,应当注意所翻译作品的时代以及其语言风格,是古语还是现代语言,要符合语境,比如翻译一篇老旧文学作品,要尽量达到其“古”的意味,才能让读者更大限度的领会其思想。

The discussion of the concepts of style should focus on some essential aspects
of language on which most linguists agree.
And in which aspects of language does stylistics focus on?
The language of a participant in a social activity reflects his social characteristics (such as his status, ethnic group, age and sex), his awareness of the various factors of a social situation, etc.

文体学总结

文体学总结

文体学第一章文体学的范围什么是文体学?文体学就是一门教我们怎么使用语言,怎么应用不同风格的语言的一门学科。

文体学具体指的是文体特征,指适用于现代语言学的概念以及其技巧的,学习语言文体使用的一门学科,括普通文体学和文学文体学。

什么是语言,不同的人对语言的定义,时间的发展,语言的定义在不断的变化完善。

语言本质上是一种社会活动。

哲学观认为,语言系统是语言在社会上的作用、活动。

语码与语言相比较。

语码通常指一系列的标志符号,象征着信息的传递。

单位量小的信息是指发话人一系列要表达的意思转化成声音并让受话人接收到这一系列信息的过程。

演讲方面语言的使用。

语言在人类社会活动中不断的被使用,在演讲中由三个坏境因素决定:活动的规范性、大小、类型。

语言的变体和功能:语言的使用方式受使用场合的的影响,不同的场合必须使用不同的语言。

不同的场景,不同的人,不同的时间,不同的地点,不同的媒体,不同的社会坏境使用不同的的语言。

语言有今古,有书写体和口语,有概念功能与指称功能之分(一个为说话表达人服务,一个为书写真实世界而服务)。

文体是区分不同语言习惯的关键,每个人都会有自己的语言风格。

例如“莎士比风格”。

文体就是一个人的语言习惯和一个群体语言坏境。

文体的学习:文体学被有的人称为文体,文体学的学习在西方很早开始就出现了。

而文体学作为一个独立的语言规范需要我们对他有充分的了解,文体学学的学习使得文体更趋于规范化,理论化,使语言学的描述更加严密规范。

文体学的学习是现代学的根本;与文学息息相关;她是修辞学的继续和发展;他用新的形象接近批判性文学并为之提供一个支撑点。

第二章学习文体学的必要文体学的学习帮助我们培养一个正确的语感。

语言不是统一性质的现象,他是一个广泛的系列。

只有在不同的情况下使用不同的正确的语言人们才能正常的交流。

因此,我们就有必要去培养一个很好的语感,使得我们在交流中表达的更容易更让别人听得舒服。

文体学的学习使得理解和欣赏的文学工作变得更简单容易。

Chapter11, what is style in your opinion according to what we have studied in this chapter?Anwser1 , from the perspective of the content, the events and activities described ,style is saying different things in different ways ;from the perspective of the ways of expression used ,styled is same thing in different ways; from the perspective of the users of language ,style is different speakers using language in different ways; and from the perspective of the text ,style is the functions of texts for different purposes.Anwser2, the definition of style is the concept of style as choice .this definition can have at least too interpretations .one is that first we have a pre-existing thought ,and then we choice the appropriate type of expression to express it in language. 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 in what way ellipsis is best achieve in news report.Answer: most of the headlines are elliptical sentences. What is omitted is: (a) subject-predicate (b) predicate (c) link verb or auxiliary verb4) How is meaning contraction of news report embodied in grammar?Answer: one feature of news report is meaning contraction, that is using the smallest form to get the most meaning .its grammatical feature are as follows:(1) the nominalization of the processes (2)big noun phrases and complex modifications (3)as some of the pre-modifiers come from a separate clause, it is highly contracted .5)The concreteness contraction of news report is in contradiction to meaning contraction. 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. By doing so, the writer can provide concrete and detailed information and save space as well.6)What graphological means are used in news report? Analyze what effects are achieved by graphological means.Answer: grphological means are made in the typesetting, for example, headlines can be arranged in such ways: 1 flush-left(it is made into a square) 2dropped-line(the length of the line is the same, but dropped in a bit each time) 3 short line followed by a long tome 4 along line followed by a short line 5 concave form 6 convex form . They can increase esthetic value and become more attractive.7)What are lexical features of news report? Why are many nonce words used in news report? Answer: lexical feature: 1 short and new-fashioned such a “crisis” in “the UN faces crisis of credibility”. 2 short journalese phrase such as “key issue” in “jobless will be the key issue in 1993”. 3nonce words, often blends such as Euromarket=European market.8)Why is there so much use of direct speech in news report?Answer: the use of direct speech can enhance the credibility of news report. The directly quoted speech can be regarded as basis of facts.9)What prominent devices are used in headlines in news report?Answer: alliteration allusion suspense etc.Chapter61Explain the following terms1)time non-fluency :pauses in inappropriate positions within a phrase or groups position ,the use of um or er to delay the time ,the repetition of some expressions ,such as be said be said be said.,2)Quality non-fluency: often the speaker cannot find the appropriate words to express himself, and he is striving for words, so he uses many inexact expressions and even wrong expressions or wrong pronunciations to express himself.3) Adjacency pair: most of the sentences are declarative and interrogative sentences as they are mostly made up of questions and answers.4) Slot filling words: slot filling words are used to fill in the pauses when the speaker strives for meaning as words, or when he or she strives to be politeness or lessen the degree of imprudence.2 question for discussion1)What are the characteristics of conversation from the perspective of semantics, grammar, vocabulary and phonology?Answer :semantic features:(1)the inexplicitness of meaning (2)the randomness of subject matter, and a general lack of planning (3)the lack of fluency Grammatical features :(1)sentence complexity (2)verbal phrases(3)nominal phrases(4)the types of sentences (5)quoted elements. Lexical feature:(1)most of the words are short and simple Anglo-Saxon ones, (2)the choice of words is limited in scope or range (3)slang and colloquial words, taboo words ,exclamatory words are frequently used (4)some slot filling words ,such as you know ,I mean,etc.(5)use exaggerated words and expressions. Phonological features :(1)use more contractions for the unimportant information (2)the often try to express themselves in spite of the fact that the other is speaking (3)there are many emphatic ways of speech ,such as stress .2)How do you account for the inexplicitness of language in daily conversation?Answer: the inexplicitness of meanings manifested in the following aspects: (1)lots of exophoric expression such as “this “is the tendency (2)there ar e missing links between the utterances(3) a lot of background information missing.(4)many inexact expressions using general words for particular concepts(5)many incomplete expressions.3)What are the features spontaneous commentary from the perspective of semantics, grammar, vocabulary and phonology?Answer: from the perspective of semantic features, if the listeners could also see the event while the commentary is delivered, there will be a lot of meaning implied or simply presupposed; but in a commentary without visual support on the part of the listeners, the commentator has to provide all the necessary information. 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. From the perspective of phonological features, it is very fast and fluent, but he has to pronounce every word clearly and loudly.4)What are the features of text structure of public speech?Answer: It consist of the following element :(1)a short introduction to the main issue or issues concerned (2)the declaration of one’s attitude and position in the matter (3)the listin g, reasoning, and explaining (4)conclusion5)How is it that in public speech there is much use of noun phrases with post modification? Answer: there are few pre-modifiers, but more post-modifiers such as “of phrase” and “which clauses” to give detailed and accurate description.Chapter81 explain the following termsLearned words: learned words are words that borrowed from Latin, Greek and French.Clichés: are words or expressions which have lost their originality or effectiveness because they have been used too often.Semantic features: correctness and completeness; conciseness and clearness; consideration and courtesy.Grammatical features: sentences structure; uses of voices; uses of affirmative sentences; inverted sentencesLexical features: concrete and natural words; technical terms and abbreviations; brief and common word s; avoid clichés (except business contracts)3 questions for discussion1)Why should business English be correct and complete?Answer: the content of business English should be correct and completely. 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.。

文体学

◆第一章文体学的研究对象文体学是研究语言运用方式和体裁的科学,现代文体学可以分为普通文体和文学文体,下面又可细分为一般特点,语体风格和文学文本风格。

说到文体学,是研究语言的科学,就不得不提到什么是语言。

现代语言学家把语言大体定义为一套符号的集合,是用来通过对话、讨论、演讲等方式进行交流的,这些交流方式又被称之为言语行为,而产生语言的行为则称之为言语事件。

言语事件在现代语言学上可分为三个方面:实质性言语事件、正式言语事件和场合性言语事件。

在不同的环境与状态下应该使用不同的语言形式。

这种不同的语言形式就称之为语言的变体。

在这些语言变体语言所起的作用就叫做语言的功能。

语言的功能又可分为概念性功能、社交性功能和文本性功能。

不同形式的语言能产生不同的语言功能。

接下来将到问题。

问题可以有许多种不同的解释,但是在严格意义上来说,文体学应该被定义为:在固定场合个人或群体使用的语言形式或语言习惯。

本书研究的对象,同时也是现代文体学研究的对象,就是区分与演变体的准则,以及对主要与演变体的语言特征和功能方面的描述和解释。

◆第二章学习文体学的必要性1、学习文体学,我们可以逐渐获得一种正确的意识,也就是说我们能够了解在什么场合应当使用何种文体才不至于显得唐突或是没有语言修养。

例如,能在豪华的场合、普通场合、轻松休闲的场合或多用俚语的场合得体的使用语言,能够使你听起来更好的融入周围的环境。

2、文体学研究让我们能更深刻的理解与欣赏文学作品。

文学批评有三个阶段:描述→解释→评价。

文体学分析,由于他与语言描述语言解释之间的紧密关系,使它在文学批评中占有重要地位。

在评价一篇文学作品时,我们应该从音韵学/语相学、词汇语法学和语义学层面进行文体学分析。

3、文体学研究可以使我们更快的达到翻译中的适应性。

由于语言是根据不同的场景有不同的内涵和功能的,所以在翻译中仅仅根据语言的字面意义翻译出来的成果往往是差强人意的。

翻以前必须先分析文本的整体风格,包括文本的遣词风格是科技术语性质的、抽象风格的、简单的还是多用俚语的;包括句子的风格是简单的还是复杂的,是多使用问句还是循规蹈矩的;包括修辞手法的类型;或者是文本的整体基调是向上的还是消沉的,等等。

英语教材 应用文体学-Chapter I 文体学

• 狭义文体学:主要研究文学作品的文体 风格。因为文学语言总是最丰富多彩、 最灵活多样的, 也最能反映一个时代的语 言特点。传统文体学与文学批评密切相 关; 它着重分析作家的文学风格(literary style), 研究代表作品的文体风格。文学 语言汇集着语言精华;文学文体集各类 文体之大成。
British scholars David Crystal &Derek Davy point ouБайду номын сангаас in their Investigating English Style: Literature can be mimetic of the whole range of human experience and this includes linguistic as well as nonlinguistic experience.

J. C. Catford points out in his A Linguistic Theory of Translation: • …the concept of a „ whole language‟ is so vast and heterogeneous(异类的/不纯的) that it is not operationally useful for many linguistic purposes, descriptive, comparative, and pedagogical. It is therefore desirable to have a framework of categories for the classification of „sublanguage‟ or varieties within a total language.

文体学第一章概论翻译及总结

文体学第一章概论翻译及总结

3。

文体学的定义透纳和《劳特利奇语言和语言学字典》都对文体学下了定义。

教材中对文体学的定义是:文体学是用科学且系统的方式对不同层面的语言变化做研究的一个语言学分支。

4.文体学的发展在西方:得益于修辞学和文学解释,现代文体学在19和20世纪得到发展。

但是文体学常常被视为即是一门新学问,又是一门老学问。

它的“老”,因为它源于古老的“修辞学”,古希腊等等大学问家都对它做过研究,它的“新",源于1882年“文体学”这个名称才得以问世。

Charles Bally Traite de stylistique Francaise法国学者巴依1902年著的《法语文体论》被视为现代文体学的一个里程碑。

巴依认为语言中的弦外之音暗示了不同情感含义,文体学就是要搞清影响情感的语言学标志。

德国学者斯必泽通过文体学角度分析文学作品,被视为文体学之父。

1930~1950缓慢发展,俄国形式主义者布拉格学派和法国结构学派在这一时期对文体学发展做出贡献.1950年至今,现代文体学达到鼎盛。

期间第一阶段:50年代到60年代,形式主义文体学占主流.第二阶段:70年代功能主义文体学更流行。

第三阶段是80年代语篇文体学更胜一筹。

第四阶段文字化文体学得以发展。

21世纪以来,文体学有了进一步发展。

在中国:中国的文体学发展最早可追溯到南朝刘勰的《文心雕龙》.其后是唐诗宋词和元曲明清小说的贡献。

陈望道《修辞原则》的出版,标志着中国现代文体学的诞生。

中国对西方现代文体学的研究可分为两个阶段。

第一个阶段是新中国成立到1976年,这是奠定基础的阶段,王佐良、许国璋、徐燕谋、杨仁敬等等开始以现代视角研究。

王佐良1963年撰写《对英语文体的研究》。

在这近30年间,中国文体学文章发表不足30篇。

没有一本关于现代文体学的学术作品出版。

事实上,“十年文革”期间,国内几乎没有学术研究进行.第二个阶段是1977年至今.这仍然是王佐良先生领导现代文体学的时代,越来越多作品发表。

《英语文体学》1-7总结-CAL-FENGHAI-(2020YEAR-YICAI)_JINGBIAN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。

文体学

文体学

文体学,一译风格学,现大都译为文体学。

它是一门研究文本体裁的特征、本质及其规律,介于语言学、文艺学、美学、心理学等学科之间,方兴未艾的综合性边缘学科。

它正处于发展、完善的阶段。

文体学是语言学的一个分支学科
文体就是在特定的交际领域。

通过有目的地选择所产生的表现手段和表达方式的总体。

它是在历史上形成的,同时被整个社会所接受的完整体系。

文体学就是研究和探讨这些体系的科学。

它是为了更加有效地表达思想,对选择和运用语言材料的原则进行研究的语言学的一独立分科
有人试图把文体学仅仅看做语言学的一个分支,但是,文体学不论算不算一门独立的学科,都有自己明确的问题要讨论。

其中的一部分问题看来属于所有(或实际上所有)人类的口语的范畴。

从这一广义出发,文体学研究一切能够获得某种特别表达力的语言手段,因此,比文学甚至修辞学的研究范围更广大。

所有能够使语言获得强调和清晰的手段均可置于文体学的研究范畴内:一切语言中,甚至最原始的语言中充满的隐喻;一切修辞手段;一切积压法结构模式。

这就是说,语言学的探讨范围涵盖不了文体学的研究内容,就语言现象而言,文体所涉及的方面也已超出了语言学的范畴。

它是一门“有自己明确问题要讨论”的独立学科。

竹内敏雄《美学百科辞典》又认为:“最近又出现新动向,即从作品语言结构的兴趣出发重视文体问题,企图在文体学中探求语言学和文艺学的媒介作用。

”有些文学评论家发现,在研究文学作品语言现象时,语言学的方法和理论往往无能为力。

因此他们试图从文体学的建构中去寻找一种新的方法和手段,以适应所有语言现象研究的需求,并使文体学成为文艺学和语言学这两门学互相沟通的媒介和交汇点。
