摘 要

称谓语是指说话人在日常交际应酬中用于称呼受话人的人称指示语,也就是对别人的称呼。称谓语既是一种语言现象,更是一种社会、文化现象。作为社交指示语的一种有效形式,称呼语在言语活动中起着重要的社交信息指示功能 。不同的语言文化中称谓语都有差别。小说《飘》描写了美国南北战争及战后重建时期佐治亚州的生活变迁,让全世界的书迷在为斯卡利特和瑞特的爱情唏嘘不已的同时也了解了美国民众的日常生活和习俗。然而,称呼语也可用于检验文学作品 、展示作品内部人物的微妙关系 、展现作者的叙事倾向 。作为文学作品中的小说语言,称呼语在《飘》文中既传承了它在言语交际中的相应语用功能,又在一定程度上呈现了该小说语言内部特有的其他功能。最后,从女性写作立场和叙述角度分析称呼语的使用受多方面因素的制约,它随着社交语境的不同变换指示多种社交信息。

Chapter Two Literature Review

2.1 Deixis

Deixis is a basic concept in pragmatics. It is so important in pragmatics that in a more restricted sense, pragmatics is even defined as a subject studying deixis. Fillmore and Levinson classified deixis into five categories: person deixis, time deixis, place deixis, discourse deixis and social deixis. Person deixis means the reference to people in communication. According to John f.Saeed (1997:31), the referent of a word can be permanent or varied. For example, the referent of the proper noun Pacific is definite and permanent, while the referents of person pronouns are not, which depends on the context. Indeed.
