Abstract

Abstract This study adopts the idea of ‘stance triangle’ and ‘double dialogicality’ and examines the use of animal classifiers for human referents in the stance negotiation process in Cantonese. Drawing on the data from a Corpus of Mid-twentieth-century Hong Kong Cantonese, this study explores how participants deploy two animal classifiers (i.e., tiu4, a classifier for fish, and zek3, a classifier for animal) to express their negative stance towards another person. The present study specifically analyzes three examples where the relationships between the stance subjects (SS1-SSn) and stance objects (O) are different: O is present in the interaction in one instance, and absent in the other two instances. My analysis suggests that upon the display of negative stance towards O by the original stance subject, other stance subjects can deny the ‘joint attention’ to avoid establishing any alignment link with the original stance taker as a way of negotiating their stance. I propose an extended model of ‘stance triangle’ which better captures the fluidity and dialogicality in the stance negotiation process.
动物分类词在粤语交际话语中的立场协商策略
摘要本研究采用“立场三角形”和“双重对话性”的概念,考察了动物分类器在广东话立场协商过程中对人类指称的使用。本研究利用19世纪中期香港广东人的语料库中的数据,探讨了参与者如何使用两种动物分类器(即tiu4,鱼类分类器和zek3,动物分类器)来表达他们对他人的负面立场。本研究具体分析了立场主体(SS1-SSn)和立场对象(O)之间关系不同的三个例子:O在一个例子中存在于互动中,而在其他两个例子中不存在。我的分析表明,当原始立场主体对O表现出负面立场时,其他立场主体可以拒绝“共同关注”,以避免与原始立场主体建立任何结盟联系,以此作为协商其立场的方式。我提出了一个“立场三角”的扩展模型,它更好地捕捉了立场谈判过程中的流动性和对话性。

期刊介绍: Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
