Understanding the interaction between people and the environment is one of the issues facing contemporary society. In recent dramatic works, the reflection on sustainability and ecological preservation as a crucial necessity in contemporary society has taken center stage. A case in point is Laura Wade’s Colder Than Here (2005), in which the protagonist, Myra, who is diagnosed with terminal cancer, opts for a green burial, causing incredulity in her family members. In the play, the destruction of the environment is necessarily reflected in the crisis of human relations: discussing human disconnection from the environment necessitates examining the disruption of family and community ties. Wade’s play is preoccupied with two fundamental issues: first, it challenges the dominant framing of death, which aims at separating oneself from the physical/natural process of dying. This natural process is replaced by death management practices in which nature and physicality are denied. Second, Myra’s eco-friendly choice is presented by Wade as the sole means by which family bonds can be revived: in reality, it is only through a reconnection with the environment and nature that human relationships can thrive and become meaningful. Drawing on Conversation Analysis, this paper seeks to demonstrate how discourse on sustainability in drama can open up new avenues for investigating human existence and relationships, challenging dominant frames of death and end-of-life decisions.
了解人与环境之间的相互作用是当代社会面临的问题之一。在近期的戏剧作品中,对可持续发展和生态保护作为当代社会重要必需品的反思占据了中心位置。劳拉-韦德(Laura Wade)的《比这里更冷》(Coldder Than Here,2005 年)就是一个典型的例子,剧中主人公迈拉被诊断出癌症晚期,她选择了绿色葬礼,引起了家人的难以置信。在剧中,环境的破坏必然反映在人际关系的危机中:讨论人类与环境的脱节,就必须审视家庭和社区关系的破坏。韦德的剧本关注两个基本问题:首先,它挑战了主流的死亡框架,其目的是将自己从死亡的物理/自然过程中分离出来。这种自然过程被死亡管理实践所取代,其中的自然性和物理性被否定。其次,迈拉的环保选择被韦德说成是恢复家庭纽带的唯一途径:实际上,只有通过与环境和自然重新建立联系,人与人之间的关系才能蓬勃发展并变得有意义。本文利用会话分析法,试图说明戏剧中关于可持续发展的论述如何为研究人类的生存和关系开辟新的途径,挑战关于死亡和临终决定的主流框架。

This study examines gender representation in Oscar Wilde’s comedy and satire, Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), using corpus stylistic analysis. Specifically, it analyzes gender characterization patterns in the original drama and explores how these patterns shift in two Chinese translations: Shen Xingren’s translation in 1918 and Hong Shen’s translation in 1923. By analyzing keyword patterns, collocational patterns, and characterization cues, the study reveals the intricate nature of gender characterization in the source text. Subsequently, a comparison is made between the textual patterns of the source text and their manifestations in the translations. The findings indicate that while Shen Xingren’s translation quite faithfully (re)represents the gender images and relations of the source text, Hong Shen’s selective appropriation of women and men characterization in his translation not only suppresses the source text’s potential to challenge moral absolutism towards women but also undermines the voices of women present in the original text. The article suggests that the re-representation or shifts in gender characterization observed between the source and target texts can be attributed to the translator’s ideology and adherence to particular poetics.
本研究采用语料库文体分析方法,研究了奥斯卡-王尔德的喜剧和讽刺剧《温德米尔夫人的扇子》(1892 年)中的性别表征。具体而言,它分析了原剧中的性别表征模式,并探讨了这些模式在两个中文译本中的变化:沈兴仁 1918 年的译本和洪深 1923 年的译本。通过分析关键词模式、搭配模式和角色塑造线索,本研究揭示了原文中性别角色塑造的复杂性。随后,对原文的文本模式及其在译文中的表现进行了比较。研究结果表明,虽然沈兴仁的译文相当忠实地(重新)再现了源文本中的性别形象和性别关系,但洪深在其译文中对女性和男性角色塑造的选择性挪用不仅压制了源文本挑战对女性的道德专制主义的潜力,也削弱了原文中女性的声音。文章认为,在源文本和目标文本之间观察到的性别特征的再现或转变可归因于译者的意识形态和对特定诗学的坚持。

With the growing prevalence of health and illness narratives on digital platforms, research examining the social psychological processes involved in these storytelling environments remains scarce. This paper addresses this research gap by conducting a mixed-methods study of digital storytelling within the UK’s healthcare context, focusing on online consumer reviews of the medical memoir, Do no harm: stories of life, death and brain surgery (Marsh, 2014). Utilising computer-assisted text analysis methods of LIWC-22 and the Sketch Engine, linguistic cues for cognitive, affective, social and perceptual processes are identified in a corpus of online consumer reviews. A subsequent qualitative analysis, based on ‘narrative modulation’ (Huang, 2024, 2020), investigates the role of these processes in constructing and developing storylines across the user reviews. Finally, the study explores how consumer reviews in the form of ‘small stories’ challenge canonical narratives in the UK’s healthcare services. This research advances the field of narrative studies by emphasising the role of social psychological processes (Chung and Pennebaker, 2019) in modulating emerging, evolving and counter narratives in digital storytelling. The findings reveal an instrumental role of social psychological processes, as signalled by linguistic cues, in shaping narrative threads in online user reviews. This study not only develops narrative modulation as a valuable concept for narrative analysis, but also underscores its effectiveness when combined with computer-assisted text analysis tools for in-depth examinations of narrative data. Furthermore, it provides critical insights into digital storytelling in healthcare contexts, promoting knowledge transfer across narrative studies, stylistics, social psychology and medical humanities.
随着健康和疾病叙事在数字平台上的日益盛行,对这些叙事环境所涉及的社会心理过程的研究仍然很少。本文针对这一研究空白,对英国医疗保健领域的数字叙事进行了混合方法研究,重点关注消费者对医学回忆录《不要伤害:关于生命、死亡和脑外科手术的故事》(Marsh,2014 年)的在线评论。利用 LIWC-22 和草图引擎的计算机辅助文本分析方法,在在线消费者评论语料库中识别出认知、情感、社会和感知过程的语言线索。随后的定性分析以 "叙事调制"(Huang,2024,2020)为基础,研究了这些过程在构建和发展用户评论故事情节中的作用。最后,本研究探讨了消费者评论如何以 "小故事 "的形式挑战英国医疗保健服务中的经典叙事。本研究通过强调社会心理过程(Chung 和 Pennebaker,2019 年)在调节数字叙事中的新兴、演变和反叙事中的作用,推动了叙事研究领域的发展。研究结果揭示了社会心理过程在塑造在线用户评论中的叙事线索方面的作用,正如语言线索所显示的那样。本研究不仅将叙事调制作为一个有价值的叙事分析概念加以发展,还强调了叙事调制与计算机辅助文本分析工具相结合对叙事数据进行深入研究的有效性。此外,它还为医疗保健背景下的数字叙事提供了重要见解,促进了叙事学、文体学、社会心理学和医学人文学科之间的知识转移。

This essay adopts a Critical Stylistic approach to disclose the linguistic mechanisms of creation of (counter-)ideological meaning in a specific type of gendered text, that is the female-targeted periodical Vogue at the beginning of the twentieth century. In particular, it investigates the linguistic construction of femininity in the fashion content of the twenty-four issues of the magazine published in 1922. In a period characterised by the gradual emergence of new identities and roles for women, Vogue chiefly employed evocative depictions of the latest trends in clothing to convey transformative notions of womanhood and defy gender categories. A Critical Stylistic analysis of Vogue’s fashion features demonstrates that this periodical favoured alluring conceptions of female assertiveness and autonomy through the use of a sensuous language of desire and feeling, describing pleasurable, multisensory encounters with fashion and modernity. Vogue’s discursive strategies show that the magazine employed linguistic form, along with visual and verbal content, to encourage women to embrace both a confident longing for personal pleasure and self-fulfilment, and the progressive gender ideology deftly woven into a periodical where female agency, physicality and modernity were favoured rather than repressed. This essay, therefore, builds on foundational research in language and gender identity that highlights the discursive construction of gender ideologies, with a view to expanding the range of scholarly interest (generally focused on content rather than linguistic form) in women’s magazines as composite cultural products which played a fundamental role in mediating new conceptions of femininity in the interwar period.
本文采用批判文体学的方法,揭示了二十世纪初以女性为读者对象的期刊《Vogue》这一特定类型的性别文本中创造(反)意识形态意义的语言机制。本研究特别探讨了 1922 年出版的二十四期《时尚》杂志时尚内容中对女性气质的语言建构。在这一时期,女性的新身份和新角色逐渐出现,《Vogue》主要通过对最新服装潮流的传神描绘来传达女性身份的转变概念,并挑战性别范畴。对《Vogue》时尚特刊的批评风格分析表明,该期刊通过使用欲望和感觉的感性语言,描述与时尚和现代性的愉悦的、多感官的邂逅,倾向于女性自信和自主的诱人概念。Vogue》的话语策略表明,该杂志运用语言形式以及视觉和语言内容,鼓励女性拥抱对个人愉悦和自我实现的自信渴望,并将进步的性别意识形态巧妙地编织进期刊中,在期刊中,女性的能动性、身体和现代性受到青睐而非压制。因此,这篇文章以语言和性别认同方面的基础研究为基础,强调了性别意识形态的话语建构,以期扩大学术界对妇女杂志的兴趣范围(一般侧重于内容而非语言形式),因为妇女杂志是一种综合文化产品,在战时女性新概念的传播中发挥着根本性的作用。

Constraints on verse form and syntactic well-formedness in the cywyddau of Dafydd ap Gwilym 达菲-阿普-格维廉的诗歌形式和句法格式的限制

Poetry is often described as having ‘unusual syntax’. Based on a close study of nine cywydd poems by the fourteenth century Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwilym, I identify attributive adjectives and preverbal particles as the loci of substantial departures in poetic language from the ordinary grammar of contemporary Welsh, providing an optimality theoretic analysis of the interaction between the linguistic and poetic grammars in Welsh cywyddau. I conclude that abnormally frequent noncanonical adjective ordering and omission of certain preverbal particles in poetry is a result of the domination of certain constraints on syntactic well-formedness by verse constraints.
诗歌通常被描述为具有 "不同寻常的句法"。基于对十四世纪威尔士诗人 Dafydd ap Gwilym 的九首 cywydd 诗歌的仔细研究,我发现诗歌语言中的属性形容词和前置词粒子与当代威尔士语的普通语法有很大的不同,并对威尔士 cywyddau 中语言语法和诗歌语法之间的互动进行了最优化理论分析。我得出的结论是,诗歌中异常频繁的非规范形容词排序和某些前置词粒子的省略,是诗句约束对句法完形性的某些限制所支配的结果。

A review of Leech and Short’s norms of speech and thought presentation 李奇和肖特的语言和思维表述规范评述

This paper discusses how the concept of norms of speech and thought presentation relates to speech and thought presentation in actual texts with reference to the examination of two corpora, Semino and Short’s discourse presentation corpus, and a corpus of contemporary present-tense fiction. Through this approach, we review the meanings of the norms in each kind of discourse presentation. Leech and Short suggest that the norm of speech presentation is direct speech (DS) and the norm of thought presentation is indirect thought (IT). Examining their claim quantitatively and qualitatively, we will discuss how forms of speech and thought presentation are chosen in different socio-lingual contexts. Our examination strongly indicates that DS predominantly serves as the norm for speech presentation. However, thought presentation exhibits a higher degree of variability, influenced by genre, text type, and narrative tense and mode, and thus our investigation did not ascertain a singular category that consistently prevails quantitatively over others in thought presentation.
本文通过对 Semino 和 Short 的话语表述语料库以及当代现在时小说语料库这两个语料库的研究,讨论了话语和思想表述规范的概念与实际文本中的话语和思想表述之间的关系。通过这种方法,我们回顾了每种话语表述中规范的含义。李奇和肖特认为,言语表述的规范是直接言语(DS),而思想表述的规范是间接思想(IT)。通过对他们的观点进行定量和定性分析,我们将讨论在不同的社会语言环境中如何选择言语和思想的表达形式。我们的研究有力地表明,DS 主要作为语音表达的规范。然而,受体裁、文本类型、叙事时态和模式的影响,思想表达方式表现出更大的可变性,因此我们的调查并没有确定思想表达方式在数量上始终优于其他表达方式的单一类别。

Our examination strongly indicates that DS predominantly serves as the norm for speech presentation. However, thought presentation exhibits a higher degree of variability, influenced by genre, text type, and narrative tense and mode, and thus our investigation did not ascertain a singular category that consistently prevails quantitatively over others in thought presentation.","PeriodicalId":45849,"journal":{"name":"Language and Literature","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141994511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
