戲劇文體學(xué)是一門正在發(fā)展的學(xué)科,目前面臨兩個(gè)問(wèn)題。第一個(gè)問(wèn)題與研究方法有關(guān):已有的文體分析框架往往混淆語(yǔ)用學(xué)與話語(yǔ)分析的區(qū)別,把兩者都看作分析工具。第二個(gè)問(wèn)題與研究對(duì)象有關(guān):多數(shù)文體分析者對(duì)于舞臺(tái)指令,要么視而不見,要么排斥在外,認(rèn)為不值得研究(見第二章)。
本文嘗試從三個(gè)方面解決上述兩個(gè)問(wèn)題。首先,本文通過(guò)理論思辨和例證表明,語(yǔ)用學(xué)和脫離語(yǔ)境的語(yǔ)言學(xué)(context-free linguistics,如音位學(xué)、形態(tài)學(xué)、句法學(xué)、語(yǔ)義學(xué)和話語(yǔ)分析)對(duì)于戲劇文體學(xué)的貢獻(xiàn)是不同的,應(yīng)該把前者看作閱讀和分析戲劇文本的視角,而把后者(不考慮語(yǔ)境因素) 看作分析工具(見第三章)。其次,通過(guò)理論思辨和實(shí)驗(yàn)方法,本文表明,舞臺(tái)指令是戲劇(尤其是現(xiàn)代戲劇)不可分割的一個(gè)部分,也應(yīng)該是戲劇文體分析的重要對(duì)象之一(見第四章)。最后,本文嘗試構(gòu)建一套完整的戲劇語(yǔ)用文體理論,并在此基礎(chǔ)上提出一套舞臺(tái)指令分析程序。戲劇語(yǔ)用文體理論以語(yǔ)用學(xué)為研究視角,以語(yǔ)言學(xué)(尤其是話語(yǔ)分析)為技巧,以戲劇文本(既包含對(duì)白,又包含舞臺(tái)指令)為研究對(duì)象,提倡戲劇話語(yǔ)形象化分析,把隱含意義推理作為中心任務(wù),從而揭示體現(xiàn)戲劇文本關(guān)學(xué)價(jià)值的語(yǔ)言特點(diǎn)或風(fēng)格。
舞臺(tái)指令分析程序以舞臺(tái)指令單位為核心,分為單位建立、單位分類、意義分析(既包含字面意義,或稱符號(hào),又包含推論)、確認(rèn)美學(xué)性質(zhì)、統(tǒng)計(jì)分析與討論五個(gè)步驟(見第五章)。本文應(yīng)用該程序,從易卜生的《玩偶之家》中選取三段樣本進(jìn)行實(shí)例分析。結(jié)果表明,對(duì)于舞臺(tái)指令進(jìn)行戲劇語(yǔ)用文體分析,可以揭示劇作家如何用舞臺(tái)指令來(lái)刻畫人物性格。該實(shí)例分析同時(shí)表明,本文提出的戲劇語(yǔ)用文體理論和舞臺(tái)指令分析程序具有一定的描述力和解釋力(見第六章)。
