A pragmatic analysis and interpretation of the language of the novelThe narrative language of novels has many functions. In the pragmatic analysis and interpretation, we can start from the following aspects:
** I. Reappearance Semantics and Subject-Manifestation Semantics **
1. ** Reappearance Semantics **
- The narrative language of a novel is mainly used to explain the background, tell the story, and describe the picture, conveying a kind of referent and reappearance meaning. For example, in Lu Xun's "Blessing", the narrative statement "the end of the year in the old calendar is the most like the end of the year" seemed to only describe the background of the story and the objective fact of the end of the year in the old calendar.
2. ** The main body represents the meaning **
- In the process of narration, the writer would express himself secretly, expressing his understanding, judgment, emotion, and other subjective expressions. This kind of subjective representation is hidden behind the world of experience presented by the representation. When reading a novel, you need to connect the external context (such as the era, social conditions, etc.) and the internal context (such as context, etc.) of the work, grasp the "words and deeds" through the "words of the story", and experience the main meaning of the main body under the surface meaning of the work. Only then can you deeply understand the meaning of the text or the theme of the work.
** 2. Verbal behavior perspective **
1. ** Saying things with words and doing things with words **
- The novel was a means of communication between the author and the reader through language. It was a kind of "speech act". The narrative language was not only about "describing things with words", but also "doing things with words". For example,"This cup of coffee is really coffee!" In a specific context, it was not simply to judge the authenticity of the coffee, but to express praise for the delicious coffee.
** 3. The relationship between the narrative language and the elements of the novel **
1. ** Relationship with characters **
- When language (dialogue) description is the main focus (although the narrative language is emphasized here, dialogue description is also related to narration), it can reflect life and reveal the character's personality through dialogue. Personalized language can highlight the character's personality, identity, and status.
2. ** Relationship with Plot **
- The dialogue could promote the development of the plot, and the narrative language was also constructing the plot in the process of telling the story, such as the change of scenes, the beginning and ending of the story, and so on.
** 4. The influence of the characteristics and style of the narrative language on the reading comprehension **
1. ** Language features **
- ** In terms of diction **, the use of reduplicated words, classical Chinese words, onomatopoeic words, verb, adjectives, etc. had their own effects. For example, reduplicated words and onomatopoeic words are rhythmic and emphasize; appropriate classical Chinese words make the language elegant; and verb and adjective can make the language accurate and vivid.
- ** Sentences **: The combination of whole and scattered sentences (such as repetitive sentences, parallel sentences, antithetic sentences, etc.), the combination of length and length, the use of affirmative and negative sentences, etc. Long sentences made the language strict and rich in content, short sentences concise and bright, and the combination of whole sentences made the language well-arranged, the rhythm choppy, and the rhyme harmonious.
- ** Punctuation (sentence type)**: The use of different sentence types such as rhetorical questions, rhetorical questions, and exclamation sentences will affect the meaning of the sentence and the reader's understanding.
- ** Rhetoric techniques **: Quoting, pun, irony, metaphor, personification, exaggeration and other rhetorical techniques make the narrative language more vivid, vivid, expressive or have a special meaning effect.
- ** In terms of expression methods **: Description, discussion, lyricism, narration, explanation, and other methods are used in the narrative language. The proportion and combination of different methods affect the style and meaning of the novel.
- ** Language style **: For example, bold and unconstrained, gentle, simple, gorgeous, humorous, concise, exquisite, etc. Each style is reflected in the use of words, rhetoric, and sentence patterns, affecting the reader's understanding of the novel.
- ** stylistic perspective **: The combination of written language and spoken language, as well as the color of praise and criticism, will also affect the expression of the narrative language and the reader's understanding.
- ** The perspective of rhyme **: The cadence, rhythm, melodic beauty, and harmony of rhyme will affect the reading experience and the sense of meaning.
- ** Local color **: The use of dialect (such as Beijing flavor, Beijing rhyme, etc.) will add regional cultural characteristics to the novel and affect the reading of the novel.
- ** Techniques of expression **: Imagination and association enrich the content and depth of the narrative language.
- ** In terms of artistic effects **, artistic effects such as suggestive and figurative (poetic, poetic and picturesque) should also be considered when analyzing the narrative language, which will help to understand the meaning of the novel in depth.
- ** In terms of tone **: The tone, attitude, rhythm, and other tone factors will affect the reader's understanding and feelings towards the content.
- ** Stylastic perspective **: The narrative language in the novel has its own characteristics, such as dialogue description, personal language, etc. It is different from other styles. When reading, you need to consider the characteristics of the novel.
- ** Special arrangement of words **: Special arrangement of words may also convey special meanings or create a special reading experience.
