-
摘要: 张爱玲小说的深层结构是非常值得关注和思考的问题,格雷马斯提出了叙事程序、行动元、语义矩阵等理论和概念,成为揭示张爱玲的作品的深层结构一个有效的工具。本文以张爱玲的小说短篇小说《花凋》作为分析的范本,分析《花凋》中四个叙事程序阶段,即产生欲望或愿望阶段、具备实现欲望的能力阶段、实现目标阶段以及得到奖赏阶段。《花凋》中行动元关系表现为:主体(郑川嫦)与客体(章云藩)关系,发送者(郑川嫦的母亲及姐姐)与接收者(郑川嫦)之间的关系,支持者(缺失)与反对者(郑川嫦的父亲母亲以及姐姐们、郑川嫦身体上的病、郑川嫦主观能动性的消失)之间的关系。并建立《花凋》的施动关系结构图。《花凋》的深层结构则表现为生与死的对立,自由与禁锢的对立等。Abstract: The deep structure of Zhang Ailing’s novels is worthy of attention.
