Abstract
This study presents a corpus-based analysis of the pragmatic identification and functional modification of Chinese conversational narrative marker (henceforth CNM). Adopting a three-dimensional design from pragmatic-semantic-cognitive views of CNM, the present study proposes that a CNM is a linking device establishing the narrator’s subjective attitude to introduce his/her narrative intent. The study has extracted “ranhou” from the author’s self-constructed Chinese conversational narratives corpus, which comprises 15 pieces of casual talks by 38 adult native speakers of Chinese. The study has found that (1) semantically, CNM holds the cohesion-oriented function for introducing referential default and semantic default; (2) pragmatically, CNM plays an interactive role between the discourse sequentiality and contextual inference demonstrating the economy of language and salience of semantic representation; (3) cognitively, the intentional cognitive cooperation between the narrator and the listener have been revealed by CNM.
摘要
会话叙事标记的身份阙如与功能修正： ---以 “然后”为例说起
本文围绕会话叙事标记在叙事新转向上的生存状态，以作者自建的自然会话叙事语料库析出的叙事标记“然后”为例，对会话叙事标记从交际建构到目的修辞的语用身份作以分析。文章指出了会话叙事标记是语用、语义、认知的互动体现，遂从此三个功能层面对其在语用定位中的叙事维度体现、语义路径中的语义缺省体现、及其认知配合模式中的意图信息体现将会话叙事标记的功能修正如下：（1）会话叙事标记在语义层面共现了叙述者所使用的语言表达式的指示性；（2）在语用层面体现了场景互动中交际者对话段细节之间的序列结构、语篇措辞方式以及语用过程的管控和推理形式；（3）在认知层面展现了叙述者在叙事过程中的意图性，即由叙述者传达、受述者接纳的交际意图、信息意图、所指意图到叙事意图的一个叙事共享认知界面。
