【摘要】：众所周知，侦探小说是通俗文学中最受欢迎的体裁之一。而阿瑟·柯南道尔则是最受欢迎的侦探小说家之一，他因塑造了世界上最知名的虚构侦探福尔摩斯而被誉为英国的“侦探小说之父”。他的侦探作品经久不衰，受到了很多人的青睐和推崇。以往对其作品的研究多侧重于人物形象等文学层面，且多为直觉的主观定性分析。本文将基于语料库，以韩礼德的系统功能语法中的情态系统为理论支撑对其作品进行定量和定性分析。中篇小说《四签名》，作为柯南道尔的代表作之一，是专门建设的观察语料库。同时笔者从英国国家语料库中的笔语中的小说部分随机抽取了一些文本作为参照语料库，希望通过两者的对比分析得出《四签名》作为侦探小说的独特情态特征，并由此分析其传达的人际功能。分析的结果表明：首先，在情态表达上，两者在评论附加语和表时间性的附加语的使用上差异不大，，但在其它的情态表达上存在着显著性的差异。与其它小说相比，《四签名》倾向于多用情态助动词和少用其它情态表达；其次，在情态值上，两者同样存在巨大的差别。《四签名》比其它小说则多用低值和中值的情态，少用高值情态；另外，在情态取向上，两者除了隐性客观取向，在其他三个情态取向上都存在显著性差异。比起其他小说，《四签名》多使用显性客观取向和隐性主观取向，少用显性主观取向；最后，本文指出《四签名》所要达到的人际功能的实现途径为：表达礼貌意义,显现客观性和营造神秘的氛围。本项研究通过定量分析和定性分析相结合来对《四签名》进行研究。一方面，它为以后对文学作品的情态研究提供了一个很好的范例。另一方面，《四签名》独特的情态特征的总结对文学教师以及从事侦探小说写作的作者也有一定的参考价值。
[Abstract]:As we all know, detective stories are one of the most popular genres in popular literature. Arthur Conan Doyle is one of the most popular detective fictionalists, he is known as the father of English detective for shaping the world's most famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. His detective works have survived and been favored and respected by many people. Previous studies of his works have focused on literary aspects such as characters, and most of them are intuitive subjective qualitative analysis. Based on the corpus, this paper makes a quantitative and qualitative analysis of Halliday's works based on the modal system of Halliday's systemic functional grammar. Novella "four signatures", as one of Conan Doyle's masterpieces, is a specially constructed observation corpus. At the same time, the author randomly selects some texts from the novel part of the British National Corpus as the reference corpus, hoping to draw the conclusion that "four signatures" is the unique modality feature of the detective novel through the comparative analysis of the two. And from this analysis of its communication interpersonal function. The results show that: first, in modal expression, there is no significant difference in the use of comment adders and temporal adders, but there are significant differences in other modal expressions. Compared with other novels, the "four-signature" tends to use more modal auxiliary verbs and less other modal expressions; secondly, there is also a great difference in the modal value between the two. In addition, in the aspect of modality orientation, there are significant differences in the other three modality orientations except the implicit objective orientation. Compared with other novels, "four signatures" uses more explicit objective orientation and implicit subjective orientation than explicit subjective orientation. Finally, this paper points out that the way to achieve interpersonal function of "four signatures" is to express politeness meaning. Show objectivity and create a mysterious atmosphere. This study combines quantitative analysis with qualitative analysis to study four signatures. On the one hand, it provides a good example for the study of modality in literary works. On the other hand, the conclusion of the unique modal features of "four signatures" also has some reference value for literature teachers and writers engaged in detective novel writing.
