摘要
本文运用Edmondson and House(1981)的类型学理论,将言语行为分为“实质性”言语行为和“仪式性”言语行为,探讨回避的互动现象。首先,我研究了在中国语言文化中,母语为汉语的人和对外汉语的学习者使用哪些言语行为来实现回避互动反应。其次,我比较了以汉语为母语的人和以汉语为母语的人实现回避的方式。研究人员从20名汉语学习者和20名以汉语为母语的人身上收集了数据,这些人完成了一项“话语完成测试”,该测试包含了谎言和伤害他人感情之间的选择等冲突场景。结果表明,回避回答中出现频率最高的言语是“Opine”和“Tell”。以汉语为母语的人倾向于使用内部修饰语,主要表现为调降和敬语,而汉语学习者则倾向于使用外部修饰语。
The evasive responses of learners of Chinese as a foreign language in daily interaction: A speech act point of view
In this paper, I explore the interactional phenomenon of evasion by using Edmondson and House's (1981) typology, which divides speech act categories into ‘Substantive’ and ‘Ritual’ speech acts. First, I examined which speech acts are used by native Chinese speakers and learners of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) to realise evasive interactional responses in the Chinese linguaculture. Second, I compared the ways in which native speakers of Chinese and CFL learners realise evasions. Data were collected from 20 CFL learners and 20 native Chinese speakers, who completed a Discourse Completion Test featuring conflict scenarios such as a choice between lying and hurting someone's feelings. The results showed that the most frequented speech in evasive responses are Opine and Tell. Native Chinese speakers tend to use internal modification in the form of downgraders and honorifics, while CFL learners tend to use external mitigators.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Applied Linguistics (InJAL) publishes articles that explore the relationship between expertise in linguistics, broadly defined, and the everyday experience of language. Its scope is international in that it welcomes articles which show explicitly how local issues of language use or learning exemplify more global concerns.
