華語篇章中的攝取角度

Perspectives in Chinese Discourse

一個情境(situation)可以從多個不同角度來加以陳述(Renkema 2004:126-130; Linell 2002)，本文以心理空間理論為基礎(Fauconnier, 1994, 1997; Fauconnier & Turner, 2002)，以聯合報「最短篇」的篇章為分析語料，來探討讀者閱讀文章時因為攝取角度的不同，對故事理解的心理空間運作模式。本文中的故事可由對照的攝取角度來探討讀者對於文章理解的運作模式，這些對照的攝取角度包括了故事的順時與逆時角度、真實與虛擬世界的角度、成人與出生嬰兒的角度、以及生與死的攝取角度。

A situation can be presented from a number of different perspectives (Renkema 2004:126-130; Linell 2002). This paper takes the 'shortest stories' from the United Daily News as examples to illustrate how a Chinese story can be described under a particular perspective and how such perspective has an impact on the interpretation of a story, within the framework of Mental Space Theory (Fauconnier, 1994, 1997; Fauconnier ＆ Turner, 2002). It has been shown in the paper that a story can be described and accounted for from different points of view, for example, from the perspectives of chronological vs. non-chronological order, real world vs. virtual world, adult vs. new born baby, and the living world vs. the world of death.
