摘要

语言学和话语研究近来开始将小说中的互动本身视为值得分析的数据,而不是自然发生的会话的不完整表述。与小说中语言使用研究的进展相一致,本研究从互动的角度探讨了小说作品中人物对话实践的功能。通过对情景喜剧系列进行对话分析和成员分类分析,本研究探讨了人物的修复操作、成员分类和属性归属如何有助于构建和揭示人物形象(即虚构角色)。研究显示了三种模式:(1) 角色在维修操作后进行隐性归类,以说明故障原因;(2) 角色在多次维修操作中改变转弯设计,显示了角色对其他角色属性的取向;(3) 角色放弃维修操作,通过暗示对其他角色的负面评价,显示了对其他角色属性的取向。研究结果表明,对话分析和成员分类分析有利于小说人物形象的研究。本研究还讨论了互动参与者的角色与其对话实践之间的反思和相互构成关系。

Fictional characterization through repair, membership categorization, and attribute ascription
Linguistics and discourse studies have recently started treating fictional interactions as data worth analyzing in their own right, rather than incomplete representations of naturally occurring conversations. Aligning with advances in research on the use of language in fiction, this study addresses the functions of characters’ conversational practices in fictional works from an interactional perspective. By applying conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis to a sitcom series, this study explores how characters’ repair operation, membership categorization, and attribute ascription contribute to the construction and revelation of those characters (i.e., fictional characterization). Three patterns are illustrated: (1) a character engages in implicit categorization to account for trouble after operating repair; (2) a character’s changes of turn design in multiple repair operations show the character’s orientation toward an attribute of the other character; and (3) a character gives up repair operation and shows an orientation toward other characters’ attributes through implying negative assessment of them. The findings suggest that conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis are beneficial for research on fictional characterization. This study also discusses the reflexive and mutually constitutive relationship between the interactional participants’ characters and their conversational practices.

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.
