Egocentric Particulars And Their Interpretation In Text

In most cases the egocentric particulars are perceived as deictic and confined to the study of daily discourses. This dissertation not only introduces the latest development in deictic study, but also gives an illustration for some argued questions. This work is intended to integrate deictic and subjective mood into egocentric particulars and to confirm the integration probability from the viewpoint of egocentric particulars. Linguistic egocentrism can be found on all the levels from morpheme to text. The philosophic concept "ego" explains its material and spiritual attribute. The latter can be divided into different subjects to provide the explanations of "inner self, "semantic subject" etc. This is also one of the most important aspects to form narrative polyphonies. According to subject's types, egocentric particulars can be divided into the deictic class, the sensation class, the cognition class and the speech class. In accord with different references, egocentric particulars can also be divided into first-level and the second-level egocentric particulars.Through the introduction E.Benveniste's concept of "the narrative plan" and "the speech plan", egocentric particulars can be illustrated into speech register of interpretation, narrative register of interpretation, and syntax register of interpretation. On the basis of this illustration, a detailed explanation on some grammar phenomena in Chinese and Russian was given. There is a close inner link between egocentric particulars and narrative, so this research can be applied into the study of narrative, such as the connection among narrators, perspective, and narrative types and so on, and the significance and function of egocentric particulars in the research of narratology.
