The Relevance Theory holds that verbal communication is a process of mutual manifestness; the hearer intends to interpret the speech through inference and contextual assumptions. According to Sperber and Wilson, the Echoic-interpretation Theory of irony defines irony as a multiple echoic interpretive use, in which the speaker and the hearer dissociate them from the opinion echoed and the opinion always accompanies with ridicule or scorn. Irony is a significant feature in Pride and Prejudice and the using of irony not only creates characters’ personalities, reveals the theme but also makes the story much more humorous and witty. In order to prove Sperber and Wilson’s account of irony is a much more reasonable cognitive-pragmatic foundation, this thesis would take some typical examples from Pride and Prejudice, and analyze irony in these examples from macro and micro view. What’s more, the analysis can also to prove that interpreting irony under the framework of Echoic-interpretation Theory in almost all cases is reliable and plausible. Key words: Relevance Theory; Echoic-interpretation Theory; irony; Pride and Prejudice 关联理论框架下的反语探讨-《傲慢与偏见》个案略论
摘要:本论文将以斯泊伯和威尔逊的关联理论为框架,对反语进行动态探讨特别是通过对文学文本中反语的略论,并证实应用关联理论解析反语具有合理性和灵活性,特别是对非探讨者主观臆造的语言材料。 关联理论认为语言交际是一个由认知到推理的互明过程,听话人通过推理并通过建构语境理解话语。斯泊伯和威尔逊提出在回声提示论中认为反语是对先前意义的回声式阐释,传达说者对该话语意义的贬抑性态度。在小说《傲慢与偏见》中,奥斯汀灵活巧妙地应用反语,不仅塑造了鲜活的个性人物,揭示小说主题,而且使小说更加的幽默,英语论文,机智和诙谐。为了证实斯泊伯和威尔逊的关联理论为反语的探讨提供了更为合理的认知语用学依据,本论文将从小说中摘选最具典型性的例子,从宏观和微观角度来略论。同时证明了反语回声提示论对几乎所有反语的略论都是合理的。 关键词:关联理论;回声提示论;反语;《傲慢与偏见》 目 录 Abstract.iv 摘要v Outlinevi 提纲vii 1.
