作为一种语用现象,语用预设在文学语篇的建构中发挥着重要作用。当代日裔英国作家石黑一雄在长篇小说《别让我走》中,以其匠心独运的写作技巧,赋予了小说永恒的魅力和超越时空的文学价值。在借助语用预设研究成果的基础上,本研究以该小说为例,分析和探讨语用预设在文学语篇中所产生的幽默荒诞的文体效果、实现经济性功能、增强话语的说服力以及蕴含的象征意义等语篇功能。本研究希冀藉此使该小说的研究视角更加多元化,加深对该文本的理解。
Presupposition is the implicit information or proposition embedded in a sentence or an utterance.As a pragmatic phenomenon,pragmatic presupposition contributes much to the weaving of a literary text.This paper, through analyzing Never Let Me Go, the masterpiece of Kazuo Ishiguro, examines the discourse functions in the literary text from the perspective of pragmatic presupposition. That is, pragmatic presupposition helps to build up the humorous or absurd effects, the economy of linguistic expression, the enhancement of persuasiveness, and the multiple symbolic meanings. The present study hopes to open up new dimensions in the research, while deepening the appreciation of the text.
