【摘要】：随着经济、科技和交通的快速发展,跨文化的各项交流也逐渐增多,不同文化背景的人们之间的有效沟通显得尤为重要。沉默,作为会话中常见的现象,也越来越受到人们的关注。关于沉默的研究,从最开始的认为沉默是完全消极的反应,到后来逐渐认可其积极的一面,再到现在将之与跨文化交际相联系。虽然人们对于沉默的关注度越来越高,并注意到了在跨文化交际中理解沉默含义的重要性,却并未有人将两种语言对话中沉默的使用作比较,而本文就是从这点出发。由于关联理论的研究对象包括显性与隐性交际,而沉默是典型的隐性交际,因此,关联理论能更好地解释话轮沉默。所以本文选择运用关联理论来分析中英会话中的沉默,以比较两种语言中沉默的使用情况。本文主要研究两部中英文电视剧的对白中的沉默。为了确保语料的标准性、口语性以及可比性,本文选取了两部题材相似、很受欢迎的电视剧,并分别从等长的时间段中记录下所有的沉默作为研究对象。首先,对沉默的类型、时长进行统计,再从关联理论的角度出发,从沉默的交际功能、语境及交际双方的关系几个方面对语料进行分析,之后再比较结果。并且,作者还分别从传统文化,价值观,以及诸如年龄、性别等方面讨论了影响两种语言中沉默使用的因素。通过以上分析,本文得出以下结论:在中英语会话中,人们都会使用沉默,中文会话中的沉默稍多,并以话轮内沉默更甚;中文会话中的沉默更多伴随肢体语言,并表达积极交际功能,英文会话中的沉默相反;理解中文会话中的沉默需要更多努力及更大语境,交际双方关系也会影响沉默的使用。本文可帮助指导跨文化交际,以及解决误解,并且有助于指导以英语为第二外语习得者的学习。
[Abstract]:With the rapid development of economy, science and technology and transportation, the cross-cultural communication is gradually increasing, and the effective communication between people from different cultural backgrounds is particularly important. Silence, as a common phenomenon in conversation, has attracted more and more attention. In the study of silence, from the initial view that silence is a completely negative response, to the gradual recognition of its positive side, and then to its association with intercultural communication. Although people pay more and more attention to silence and pay attention to the importance of understanding the meaning of silence in cross-cultural communication, there is no comparison of the use of silence in the dialogue between two languages. As the objects of relevance theory include explicit and implicit communication, silence is a typical implicit communication, so relevance theory can better explain the turn of silence. Therefore, this paper uses relevance theory to analyze the silence in Chinese and English conversation to compare the use of silence between the two languages. This paper mainly studies the silences in the dialogue between Chinese and English TV dramas. In order to ensure the standard, colloquial and comparability of the corpus, this paper selects two popular TV dramas with similar themes, and records all the silences from the same length of time as the object of study. Firstly, the types and duration of silence are analyzed, and then from the perspective of relevance theory, the corpus is analyzed from the aspects of communicative function, context and the relationship between the two parties. Then the results are compared. In addition, the author discusses the factors that influence the use of silence in both languages from the aspects of traditional culture, values, age and gender. Based on the above analysis, this paper draws the following conclusions: in Chinese-English conversation, people use silence, the silence in Chinese conversation is a little more, and the silencing in turn is even more serious, and the silence in Chinese conversation is more accompanied by body language. It also expresses the positive communicative function, the silence in the English conversation is the opposite, and the understanding of the silence in the Chinese conversation requires more effort and greater context, and the relationship between the two sides of the communication will also affect the use of silence. This paper can help guide cross-cultural communication, solve misunderstandings, and guide the learning of English as a second language learner.
