叙事性乡村歌曲歌词的人际意义研究
发布时间：2018-08-23 08:00
【摘要】： 乡村歌曲是美国流行音乐的一个分支,为美国以及世界各地的听众所喜爱、传唱和欣赏。叙事性乡村歌曲歌词语篇通过讲述故事建立叙述者与听众之间良好的互动关系,激发听众的感情,并影响听众对事物的看法。叙事性乡村歌曲歌词具有丰富的人际意义,该意义的表达对凸显歌词主题,对歌词作者遣词造句、布局谋篇发挥重要作用。 人际意义一词源于系统功能语言学对语言元功能的划分。人际功能理论关注的是语言交际过程中人们如何运用语言与他人建立和保持人际关系,影响他人的行为,以及表达自己对事物的看法以引出或改变他人的观点(Thompson,2000∶28)。Eggins(2004∶11)将人际意义定义为“一连串贯穿于语篇中表达作者与读者关系以及作者个人态度的意义”。Halliday(2000)把语气和情态作为实现人际意义的主要手段。而实际上人际意义的韵律特征表明实现人际意义的资源形式多种多样。Thompson(2000)从互动层面和个人态度层面考察人际意义。Martin和White(2000,2005)建立了评价理论,以解释语篇所体现的说话者态度,是人际功能理论的有益补充。本文主要采用Thompson的人际意义理论框架,结合Martin和White的评价理论中的态度系统,描述和解释六首叙事性乡村歌词语篇在语气、人称、情态和态度层面体现的人际意义。 叙事性乡村歌曲歌词取材于普通人民的现实生活,表达人们共通的情感,并通过故事展现人的思想,体现人生哲理。在语气系统体现为大量陈述句的使用,以承载整个故事的情节和作者的观点。该特点说明在这一非面对面的语言交际过程中,叙述者处于主导地位,控制话语交际的内容,并试图让听众参与到话语交际过程中。叙述者通过人称系统的变换协调与听众的关系,制造语篇的对话性,拉近与听众之间的距离。语篇情态系统体现叙述者的个人感情和观点,引导听众对事件或人物做出肯定或否定的判断。叙述者的个人感受以及对某种行为或某个事物的评价在态度系统得到进一步体现。在表达态度的过程中,叙述者试图与读者构建或共享特定的价值观。 本文运用系统功能语言学的人际意义理论对叙事性乡村歌曲歌词进行分析,希望为研究歌词语篇的人际意义提供新的视角,拓展人际意义研究的范围,并有助于人们加深对美国社会文化和价值观念的认识。由于相关研究较少,本文作者希望该研究能够引起更多研究者对歌词这一特殊语篇的关注,并对其人际意义进行更深入的探讨。
[Abstract]:Country songs are a branch of American pop music that is popular, sung and enjoyed by listeners in the United States and around the world. The narrative lyrics of country songs establish a good interactive relationship between the narrator and the audience, stimulate the feelings of the audience and influence the audience's view of things by telling the story. The lyrics of narrative country songs have rich interpersonal meaning, and the expression of this meaning plays an important role in highlighting the theme of lyrics, choosing words and sentences for lyric writers, and distributing articles. Interpersonal meaning is derived from the division of metafunctions in systemic functional linguistics. The theory of interpersonal function focuses on how people use language to establish and maintain interpersonal relationships with others and influence their behavior. And expressing one's own views on things to elicit or change the views of others (Thompson 2000: 28) .Eggins (2004: 11) defines interpersonal meaning as "a series of meanings that permeate the discourse to express the relationship between the author and the reader and the author's personal attitude" .Halliday (2000) Qi and modality are the main means of realizing interpersonal meaning. In fact, the prosodic characteristics of interpersonal meaning indicate that there are various forms of resources to realize interpersonal meaning. Thompson (2000) explores the interpersonal meaning. Martin and White (20002005) establish an evaluation theory to explain the speaker's attitude embodied in the discourse. It is a useful supplement to the theory of interpersonal function. This paper mainly adopts the frame of Thompson's interpersonal meaning theory combined with the attitude system of Martin and White's evaluation theory to describe and explain the interpersonal meaning of six narrative rural lyrics in the aspects of mood person modality and attitude. The lyrics of narrative country songs are drawn from the real life of ordinary people, express the common feelings of people, and show people's thoughts through stories, and embody the philosophy of life. The mood system embodies the use of a large number of declarative sentences to carry the plot of the whole story and the author's point of view. This feature shows that in this non-face-to-face language communication process, the narrator is in the dominant position, controls the content of the discourse communication, and attempts to involve the audience in the process of the discourse communication. The narrator harmonizes the relationship with the audience through the transformation of the person system, creates the dialogism of the discourse, and draws the distance between the speaker and the audience. The discourse modality system embodies the narrator's personal feelings and opinions and leads the audience to make positive or negative judgments about events or characters. The narrator's personal feelings and evaluation of a certain behavior or thing are further reflected in the attitude system. In the process of expressing attitudes, the narrator attempts to build or share specific values with the reader. This paper uses the interpersonal meaning theory of systemic functional linguistics to analyze the lyrics of narrative country songs in the hope of providing a new perspective for the study of the interpersonal meaning of the lyrics and expanding the scope of the study of interpersonal meaning. It also helps people deepen their understanding of American social culture and values. Due to the lack of relevant studies, the author hopes that this study can attract more researchers to pay attention to lyrics as a special text and make a deeper study of their interpersonal meaning.
