【摘要】：众所周知，歌曲是人们喜闻乐见的声乐艺术，是人们抒发情感的手段。歌曲流行的原因有两个：一是其优美的旋律，二是其通俗易懂、琅琅上口的歌词。那些经久不衰的歌曲可谓之经典之作，仅其歌词就值得考究。歌词文本以其越来越丰富且变化的特点，受到了学术界的广泛关注。歌词与诗歌同源异流。歌词是由“诗歌”逐渐发展演变且独立于诗歌体裁的一种特殊的文体。因此也需要使用衔接来实现意义的表达，在衔接手段的使用上呈现出与其他文本不同的特点。本文以韩礼德和哈桑的衔接理论为基础，深入细致地对比分析英汉歌词衔接手段的使用，并从语言学、文化、思维等方面对其相同点及差异产生的原因进行探究。本次试探性研究不仅填补了歌词衔接研究的空白，而且扩大了衔接理论的应用范围。在对比语言学的相关理论指导下，对英文、中文歌曲各50首组成的实例语料进行研究。英文中文各50首歌曲分别从《奥斯卡经典100首珍藏》、《春节联欢晚会金曲100首》这两本书中随机抽取。本文将采用定性与定量研究相结合的方法进行对比分析。研究结果表明，英汉歌词文本在衔接手段的使用上既有相同点，又有不同点。相同点是词汇衔接的数量在两种文本中均为最多，替代则最少。这主要是由重复这一常用的歌词创作手法的使用造成的。关于不同点，首先，指称在英语歌词文本的数量高于在汉语文本中的数量，主要体现在人称指称与指示指称的使用上。英语歌词中常用第三人称代词，而汉语歌词中常用第一二人称代词，这是因为不同的文化造成的思维方式的不同：英语多从客观角度出发，，而汉语多从主观角度出发。而且，汉语中没有定冠词the,而英语中经常使用the,这是它们使用指示指称的最大区别。第二，省略在英文歌词文本中的数量低于在汉语歌词文本中的数量，一方面，英语是形合语言，注重形式；而汉语是意合语言，注重意义的表达；另一方面，由于歌词篇幅短小且是时间艺术，因此歌词要用较少的语言表达较多的内容。如果意义明确，汉语会经常使用省略。第三，英文歌词文本中使用连接词的数量多于汉语歌词文本中的，由于英语注重形合，汉语重意合，因此英语更倾向于使用显性连接词，汉语则倾向于使用隐性连接词。由于有限的语料及分析的主观性，本次研究结果需要得到进一步的证实。
[Abstract]:As we all know, song is a popular vocal art and a means of expressing people's feelings. There are two reasons for its popularity: its beautiful melody, and its easy to understand, catchy lyrics. Those enduring songs can be called classics, only its lyrics are worth studying. And the characteristics of change have attracted wide attention from academia.
Lyrics and poetry are of the same origin and different currents.Lyrics are a special style evolving from "poetry" and independent of the poetic genre.Therefore, cohesion is also needed to achieve the expression of meaning. The use of cohesive devices is different from other texts. This paper makes a contrastive analysis of the use of cohesive devices in English and Chinese lyrics, and explores the similarities and differences between them in linguistics, culture and thinking.
Under the guidance of the theory of contrastive linguistics, this paper studies the corpus of 50 English and 50 Chinese songs. 50 English and 50 Chinese songs are randomly selected from the two books: 100 Collections of Oscar Classics and 100 Golden Melodies of Spring Festival Gala. This paper will adopt the method of combining qualitative and quantitative research to make a comparison. Analysis.
The results show that there are similarities and differences in the use of cohesive devices between English and Chinese Lyric texts. The similarities are that the number of lexical cohesion is the largest and the number of substitutions is the least in both texts. The number of pronouns in English lyrics is often used as the third person pronoun, while in Chinese lyrics, the first two person pronouns are often used as the first two person pronouns. Second, the number of omissions in English lyrics is lower than that in Chinese lyrics. On the one hand, English is a hypotaxis language, paying attention to form, while Chinese is a parataxis language, paying attention to the expression of meaning. On the other hand, because the lyrics are short and time art, the lyrics should be expressed in fewer languages. If the meaning is clear, Chinese will often use ellipsis. Third, the number of conjunctions used in English lyrics is more than that in Chinese lyrics. It is more likely to use explicit conjunctions while Chinese tends to use implicit connectives.
Due to the limited corpus and subjectivity of the analysis, the results of this study need further confirmation.
