The Connotative Features and Functional Purpose of Language Choice
-
摘要: 语言选择是理论语言学及应用语言学的研究重点。语言选择指使用者在“约定俗成”的心理规约及语法规范内的组词造句、表意述事并以言行事。以社会语言学、语用学及系统功能语言学关于语言、使用者与社会的互动关系为理论基础,首先认为语言选择关涉可供选择的语言与变体的选择性使用,并以交际性、语境性和规约性为主要特征。其次语言选择具有表情达意及以言取效的社会功能。通过选择不同的语言或语词,顺应或调适规约意义,生成基于选择的话语意义,实现表情达意及言语取效的功能。Abstract: Language choice is the focus of theoretical linguistics and applied linguistics. Language choice refers to the way in which the user constructs words and sentences, within psychological and grammatical norms of “conventions” to express meaning and doing things. Based on the theory of sociolinguistics, pragmatics and systemic-functional linguistics about the interaction among language, user and society, the paper first argues that language choice is related to the selective use and social transmission of alternative languages and variants, and is characterized by communicative, contextual and conventional characteristics. Secondly, language choice has the social functions of expressing ideas and taking effect by words. By choosing different languages or words to conform to the normative meaning, discourse meaning is generated to realize the functions of expression and effectiveness.
