摘要

本文从一个特定的语言范畴——感叹词的角度来考察个体风格的表现。该分析考虑了在三位复辟剧作家（Aphra Behn、John Dryden和Thomas D'Urfey）的戏剧对话中，感叹词是如何被用作一种资源的，以及他们的使用偏好和实践如何与英语史上先前确定的趋势相比较。本文将剧目的概念作为情境语言使用的框架，考察了类型、时间和人物塑造如何影响每位作者戏剧中插话的选择和频率。语料库语言学方法用于对每位作者的感叹词库进行定量和定性的概述。研究结果表明，尽管体裁、时间和人物塑造对感叹词形式的选择和实施有影响，但在戏剧语境中表达语言的选择在作者层面上也是独特和连贯的。

Interjections and individual style: A study of restoration dramatic language

This paper examines the manifestation of individual style through the lens of a specific language category: the interjection. The analysis considers how interjections are used as a resource in the dramatic dialogue of three Restoration playwrights: Aphra Behn, John Dryden and Thomas D’Urfey, and how their preferences and practices of use compare to previously identified trends in the history of English. Using the concept of the repertoire as a frame for situated language use, the paper examines how genre, time, and characterisation shape the selection and frequency of interjections in the plays of each author. Corpus linguistic methods are used to provide a quantitative and qualitative overview of each author’s interjection repertoire. The results suggest that whilst genre, time, and characterisation are influential in shaping the selection and implementation of interjection forms, the choice of expressive language in dramatic contexts is also distinctive and coherent at an authorial level.

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.
