摘要
运用会话分析中的话轮转换理论,从语用学和社会语言学角度分析《印度之行》中某一冲突性会话片断的面子威胁行为,可解读文本中人物权势关系的动态平衡和人物性格,并能分析出会话冲突的深层原因是由主要人物所处的殖民统治背景、文化价值取向和人物间不同的社会认同感所致。实例也表明,会话分析理论有助于文学作品的阐释,能使文学批评建立在相对客观的基础上。
This paper attempts to analyze a face-threatening act in the conversational conflict excerpt in E. M. Foster＇s A Passage to India by using the theory of turn-taking, together with theories of pragmatics and social linguistics. The analysis interprets the dynamic balance of power relations between the main characters, their characterization andthe main causes for the conversational conflict, i.e. the background of colonialism and different social identity of the characters. It further proves that elaboration of literary works based on conversational theories can make literary criticism more objective.
