Abstract

Abstract The article aims to analyse exclamatives as means of expressing emotions in dialogical discourse through the Speech Acts Theory. In particular, it dwells upon the representation of the Universal Emotion by the sub-classes of speech acts on the material of Henry James’s Washington Square. For this purpose, a structural-semantic analysis, a speech acts analysis, an intentional analysis, and a statistical analysis were used in the research. The results established pragmatic regularities of using the exclamatives in the course of communication in the novel. Thus, emotions play an essential role in constructing the character’s individual features, each of them having his/her predominant emotion. In addition, the statistical analysis showed that the majority of the analysed exclamatives are used to express the emotions of anger, joy, and sadness, which are construed predominantly by expressive and representative speech acts.

在亨利·詹姆斯的《华盛顿广场》中感叹词作为表达情感的手段:语用方面
摘要本文旨在运用言语行为理论分析感叹词在对话话语中的情感表达方式。特别地,它探讨了言语行为的子类在亨利·詹姆斯的《华盛顿广场》材料上对普遍情感的表现。为此,本研究采用了结构语义分析、言语行为分析、意向分析和统计分析等方法。研究结果确立了感叹词在小说交际过程中使用的语用规律。因此,情感在塑造角色的个性特征中起着至关重要的作用,每个角色都有自己的主导情感。此外,统计分析表明,大多数被分析的感叹词用于表达愤怒、喜悦和悲伤的情绪,这些情绪主要是通过表达性和代表性的言语行为来解释的。
