From An Aesthetic Point Of View To Evaluate The Communication Type

Language is a multi-dimensional world, studies on language are typically characterized as being highly interdisciplinary. The famous Chinese linguist Qian Guanlian, in his book Aesthetic Linguistics: The Beautiful: Language and Speech, has revealed the great potential the aesthetic theories possess in explaining various linguistic phenomena. Although there have been fruitful studies on the combination of aesthetic theories and linguistic theories in the aspects of translation, literature, and culture, few studies have focused on how aesthetic theories can apply in the study of communication theory, let alone in the study of evaluative communication type. Inspired by Qian Guanlian, the present thesis firstly makes a brief introduction of researches abroad or at home involving both aesthetic-related theories and linguistic-related theories, and points out that aesthetic theory offers a complete new angle for linguistic research. Secondly, this thesis, with the aesthetic objects (linguistic phenomena) confined to evaluative communication type, will focus on the aesthetic attributes involved in evaluation communication type, in which the aesthetic thought reflected in the light of both aesthetic and linguistic studies. Based on the survey of aesthetic behaviors and choices at evaluative communication, the paper will finally explore the strategies to pursue beauty of speech acts at the side of speakers.This paper has not only clarified the fundamental aesthetic constituents in the evaluative communication, but also provided some effective and workable methods and strategies to pursue beauty of speech. Hopefully, this thesis will serve as the brick to introduce the jade to come out in terms of more research of communication theories, or speech acts from the aesthetic approach.
