| Verbal communication contains two levels: basic discourse level and meta-discourse level.Basic discourse is to assume corresponding syntactic functions and discourses with discourse truth value.Meta-discourse refers to discourse based on discourse,and it exists in the basic discourse layer,pointing to sentence reference and proposition,helping to construct discourse and interpersonal relationship.One of the manifestations of meta-discourse is discourse markers,which are often used by speakers in daily oral communication.The main functions of discourse markers are not like traditional linguistic units.They undertake corresponding grammatical functions syntactically and convey discourse content semantically.Rather,it helps listeners to provide information markers to understand the utterance,and at the pragmatic level,it can guide the listener or reader to understand the meaning of the utterance.In recent years,discourse markers have been the focus of attention of many experts and scholars.Most scholars take a specific type of discourse marker as the research object,analyze their form and meaning characteristics,or take a long time to form a discourse marker.Site inspection.As a result,a series of relatively fruitful research results have been formed,but the existing research results have insufficient explanatory power when analyzing Chinese discourse markers,especially discourse markers in Chinese narrative texts.Such narrative texts,such as ancient vernacular novels,are deeply influenced by oral literature and have extremely obvious characteristics of oral literature.In this type of genre,the narrator pretends to be a storyteller,and the narrator in the text is a "speaking" narrator.In this special narrative perspective,the discourse markers have distinctive characteristics that are different from other styles,and have high research value.In this context,this article selects the representative works of Qinghuanshantanghuaben and Yushimingyan in the ancient vernacular novels of the Song,Yuan and Ming Dynasties as the research objects,and studies the discourse markers in the two books.Compare the types and usage of discourse markers in the two books,discuss the similarities and differences of pragmatic functions between the two,and summarize the characteristics and causes of the discourse markers in the two books.The specific research content includes: first,in the current academic community has not formed a consensus on the definition of discourse markers,dialogue language markers to define and distinguish concepts.The second is toinvestigate the textual functions and interpersonal functions of "Qingping Shantang Huaben" and "Yu Shi Ming Yan",using conversation analysis theory,relevance theory,coherence theory and subjectivization theory to deeply excavate and meticulously discourse markers in the two books.analysis.The third is to integrate the characteristics of the position and form of the discourse markers in the two books,and construct and compare the discourse marking systems of "Qingping Shantang Dialect" and "Yu Shi Ming Yan".And briefly analyze the variations and causes of discourse markers in the two books.The fourth is to make a dynamic analysis of the discourse markers in the two books,explore the internal and external factors that cause the different characteristics and appearance of the discourse markers in the two books,explore their diachronic evolution mechanism,and try to explain the diachronic evolution of the discourse markers. |
