摘要

以往的实证研究揭示了言语行为实现的差异。一种常见的方法方法包括在特定场景中使用的编码策略和修改类型,以量化活动级别的变化。本研究采用一阶风格标签而非特定言语行为、说话人类型或语境来研究言语行为实现中的特定风格模式。具体而言,通过对特定风格语音的目标语料库与其他风格的参考语料库生成的关键词和关键聚类进行一致性分析,识别与言语行为实现相关的风格标记,包括内部词法修饰语和语义公式。这种风格标记分析被应用于检查撒娇(“表现得可爱”),这是一种广泛使用的文化交流方式,在(普通话)中国与可爱、孩子气和女性气质有关,但有时会引起负面看法。该案例研究发现了与先前关于撒娇的研究一致的内部词汇修饰语,以及受到有限关注的语义公式。这些公式出现在请求、拒绝、渴望、抱怨和赞美的情绪中。撒娇风格表明了一种群体内关系,将收件人定位为照顾者。除了自私自利的撒娇行为,语料库数据还揭示了:1)出于利他目的的策略性撒娇行为;2)撒娇行为者有义务通过表达欣赏和情感来回报他人。撒娇也被策略性地用于减少与外群体成员的社会距离。该研究提出了言语行为实现的三个关键方面:形式层面的变化,共同发生形式的协同效应,以及偏离主导规范的风格选择。

Style markers in speech act realization: A corpus-based analysis of the cute style sajiao in Chinese
Previous empirical studies have revealed variation in speech act realization. A common methodological approach involves coding strategy and modification types used in particular scenarios to quantify variation at the actional level. This study adopts a novel approach by focusing on first-order style labels rather than particular speech acts, speaker types, or contexts to investigate style-specific patterns in speech act realization. Specifically, style markers related to speech act realization, including internal lexical modifiers and semantic formulas, are identified through concordance analysis of keywords and key clusters generated by comparing a target corpus of style-specific speech with a reference corpus of other styles. This style marker analysis is applied to examine sajiao (‘act cute’), a widely practiced and culturally significant communication style in (Mandarin) Chinese associated with cuteness, childlikeness, and femininity, yet sometimes evoking negative perceptions. The case study found internal lexical modifiers that align with previous research on sajiao, as well as semantic formulas that have received limited attention. These formulas appear in requests, refusals, emotives of longing, complaints, and compliments. The sajiao style indexes an in-group relationship, positioning the addressee as a caregiver. Alongside self-serving sajiao usage, corpus data also revealed: 1) strategic uses of sajiao for altruistic purposes, and 2) sajiao actors' obligation to reciprocate through expressions of appreciation and affection. Sajiao was also strategically used to reduce social distance with out-group members. The study suggests three key aspects of speech act realization: formal-level variation, the synergistic effects of co-occurring forms, and stylistic choices that deviate from dominant norms.

期刊介绍: Since 1977, the Journal of Pragmatics has provided a forum for bringing together a wide range of research in pragmatics, including cognitive pragmatics, corpus pragmatics, experimental pragmatics, historical pragmatics, interpersonal pragmatics, multimodal pragmatics, sociopragmatics, theoretical pragmatics and related fields. Our aim is to publish innovative pragmatic scholarship from all perspectives, which contributes to theories of how speakers produce and interpret language in different contexts drawing on attested data from a wide range of languages/cultures in different parts of the world. The Journal of Pragmatics also encourages work that uses attested language data to explore the relationship between pragmatics and neighbouring research areas such as semantics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis and ethnomethodology, interactional linguistics, sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, media studies, psychology, sociology, and the philosophy of language. Alongside full-length articles, discussion notes and book reviews, the journal welcomes proposals for high quality special issues in all areas of pragmatics which make a significant contribution to a topical or developing area at the cutting-edge of research.
