摘要

摘要本文探讨了2016年电视广播有限公司主持的电视政治辩论中使用的粤语话语助词的具体语用功能。本文探讨了最常用的UFP,并讨论了它们是如何被两种突出的提问策略操纵的,即垂体和问题级联,以帮助在这种高度制度化的话语类型中投射负面立场。借助“立场三角”的理论框架,我研究了如何通过使用两种提问策略和UFP来引导各种立场采取活动,以在选举候选人之间建立不一致性。研究结果表明,最常用的UFP是le1和aa3:这两个UFP在日常对话中的问题设计中相对中立,适用于所有类型的问题,如极性问题、替代问题和内容问题。研究结果表明,这些颗粒可以作为垂体和问题级联的策略性使用的缓解剂和柔软剂。本文还提出了一个修正的立场三角形,有助于理解在提问策略中如何引导消极立场,并以明确的方式实现立场对象。发现真实的立场对象表明,问题设计通常面向“远程受众”,即选民。

“Hypophora” and “question cascade” in Cantonese political discourse: the stance triangle and the use of rhetorical moves and utterance final particles
Abstract This paper looks into the specific pragmatic functions of Cantonese utterance final particles (UFPs) employed in a televised political debate, hosted by the Television Broadcasts Limited in 2016. The paper explores the most frequently used UFPs and discusses how they are being manipulated with two prominent questioning strategies, i.e., hypophora and question cascade, to help project negative stance in this highly institutionalized discourse genre. With the aid of the theoretical framework of ‘stance triangle’, I investigate how various stance-taking activities are navigated through the employment of two questioning strategies as well as UFPs to establish dis-alignment among the electoral candidates. The findings show that the most frequently used UFPs are le1 and aa3: these two UFPs are relatively neutral in question design in daily conversation and are used in all types of question such as polar questions, alternative questions, and content questions. The findings demonstrate that these particles serve as a mitigator and softener with the strategic use of hypophora and question cascade. This paper also proposes a revised stance triangle that helps understand how the negative stances are navigated in questioning strategies and realize the stance objects in an explicit manner. Discovering the true stance objects reveals that the question designs are usually oriented to the “remote audiences,”i.e. the voters.

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.
