Abstract

Ursula Le Guin’s novel The Dispossessed (1974) is the first literary treatment of anarchic utopianism, presenting the society on the moon Anarres as operating on social principles lacking any sort of State or governmental oversight (known in the novel as Odonianism). Scholarship on Le Guin’s novel has focused primarily on the overt political and philosophical aspects of the text, while the scant linguistic scholarship goes no further than uncovering fairly superficial aspects of Le Guin’s invented language of Anarres, Pravic. This paper investigates exactly how Le Guin presents a richly detailed conceptualisation of an anarchic society to readers on a planet full of states. This is generally achieved through the technique of estrangement (defamiliarisation), and more precisely, by various means of schema disruption.

厄休拉-K-勒奎恩《被剥夺者》中的疏离模式

厄休拉-勒奎恩的小说《被剥夺者》（The Dispossessed，1974 年）是第一部关于无政府乌托邦主义的文学作品，它将月球上的阿纳雷斯社会描述为按照缺乏任何国家或政府监督的社会原则运作的社会（在小说中被称为奥多尼安主义）。有关勒奎恩小说的学术研究主要集中在文本中公开的政治和哲学方面，而语言学方面的学术研究则寥寥无几，只能揭示勒奎恩发明的阿纳雷斯语言--Pravic--的一些相当肤浅的方面。本文将研究勒奎恩究竟是如何在一个充满国家的星球上向读者展示一个无政府社会的丰富而详尽的概念。一般来说，这是通过疏离（陌生化）技术，更确切地说，是通过各种图式破坏手段来实现的。

期刊介绍： Language and Literature is an invaluable international peer-reviewed journal that covers the latest research in stylistics, defined as the study of style in literary and non-literary language. We publish theoretical, empirical and experimental research that aims to make a contribution to our understanding of style and its effects on readers. Topics covered by the journal include (but are not limited to) the following: the stylistic analysis of literary and non-literary texts, cognitive approaches to text comprehension, corpus and computational stylistics, the stylistic investigation of multimodal texts, pedagogical stylistics, the reading process, software development for stylistics, and real-world applications for stylistic analysis. We welcome articles that investigate the relationship between stylistics and other areas of linguistics, such as text linguistics, sociolinguistics and translation studies. We also encourage interdisciplinary submissions that explore the connections between stylistics and such cognate subjects and disciplines as psychology, literary studies, narratology, computer science and neuroscience. Language and Literature is essential reading for academics, teachers and students working in stylistics and related areas of language and literary studies.
