【摘要】:托尼·莫里森是第一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的美国黑人女作家,《所罗门之歌》是托尼·莫里森的代表之作。该小说在出版之后先后获得了美国国家书评奖以及美国艺术文学院奖,被誉为继理查德·赖特的《土生子》和拉尔夫·埃里森的《隐形人》之后的美国黑人文学上的又一里程碑式作品。 长期以来国内外对该作品的研究和批评主要集中于主题和文体方面,小说的主人公奶娃这一形象也一直广受关注。评论家从不同的角度对此角色进行了分析,包括象征主义、成长小说等。本论文以韩礼德系统功能语法中的人际功能作为理论基础,从语气系统和情态系统两个系统展开,试图分析小说中主人公奶娃与其他人物对话中的语气和情态特征,找出奶娃的性格在话语中的体现,并由此阐述主人公奶娃的性格特征及与周围人物的关系,并试图通过对比奶娃在寻找家族历史和黑人文化前后的话语的语气及情态变化,探讨其人物形象的塑造是如何通过语言学手段实现的。 本文研究主要发现如下:首先,通过对《所罗门之歌》中人物对话样本的人际意义分析,作者发现对话样本中体现人际意义的例子很多。其次,小说对话中大量人际意义现象的分析表明系统功能语言学适用于文本分析,并为人物特征分析提供了一个新的角度。最后,,本文作者发现不同的语气和情态选择揭示了人物的不同的性格和社会地位,并突出了小说的主题:成长。因此,以系统功能语言学为基础,对文学作品中的人物言语进行人际意义分析具有一定的理论意义和应用价值。 本文前两章分别是引言和文献综述。第三章从人际功能的语气系统和情态系统角度分析《所罗门之歌》中的主人公奶娃这一人物形象。首先通过分析奶娃在他的家乡密歇根的一个小镇时与朋友、家人的对话中的情态及语气,反映出奶娃的性格特征及与周围人的关系,其次分析奶娃在寻找家族历史和黑人文化之旅中与他人的对话中的情态及语气,从而看出因奶娃性格的转变、内心的成长而导致与周围人物说话方式的改变。这样的改变是通过人物对话中语气与情态的不同反映出来的,从而说明语气和情态分析可以呈现人物特征及其个性变化。最后一章是对本论文的总结,同时指出本文的不足及对下一步研究的建议。
[Abstract]:Tony Morrison is the first black American writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Song of Solomon is the representative of Tony Morrison. After its publication, the novel won the National Book Review Award and the American Academy of Art and Literature Awards. It is hailed as another milestone in black American literature after Richard Wright's Native son and Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. For a long time, the research and criticism of the novel at home and abroad are mainly focused on the theme and style, and the image of the protagonist of the novel has been paid close attention to all the time. Critics analyze this role from different perspectives, including symbolism, initiation novels and so on. Based on the interpersonal function in the functional grammar of Halliday system, this paper attempts to analyze the mood and modality characteristics of the dialogue between the protagonist and other characters from the two systems of mood system and modality system. Find out the embodiment of the character of the milk baby in the discourse, and expound the character characteristics of the protagonist and the relationship with the surrounding characters, and try to compare the mood and modality change of the discourse before and after looking for the family history and the black culture of the milk baby. In this paper, the author discusses how to shape the image of his characters by means of linguistics. The main findings of this paper are as follows: firstly, by analyzing the interpersonal meaning of the dialogue sample in Song of Solomon, the author finds that there are many examples of interpersonal meaning in the dialogue sample. Secondly, the analysis of a large number of interpersonal meaning phenomena in the novel dialogue shows that systemic functional linguistics is suitable for text analysis and provides a new perspective for character analysis. Finally, the author finds that different mood and modality choices reveal the different character and social status of the characters, and highlight the theme of the novel: growing up. Therefore, on the basis of systemic functional linguistics, it is of theoretical significance and practical value to analyze the interpersonal meaning of the characters in literary works. The first two chapters of this paper are preface and literature review respectively. The third chapter analyzes the character image of the protagonist in Song of Solomon from the perspective of mood system and modality system of interpersonal function. First of all, by analyzing the mood and mood of the conversation with friends and family when she was in a small town in his hometown Michigan, it reflected the personality characteristics of the baby and its relationship with the people around it. Secondly, it analyzes the modality and tone of conversation with others in the journey of looking for family history and black culture, so as to find out that the change of character and inner growth lead to the change of speaking style with the surrounding characters. This change is reflected by the difference between mood and modality in the dialogue of characters, which shows that the analysis of mood and modality can present the character characteristics and personality changes. The last chapter is a summary of this paper, and points out the shortcomings of this paper and suggestions for further research.
