文学语言与前景化

作为文学作品艺术价值载体的文学语言,其区别于日常生活语言及其他文体文本语言之处在于文学作品作家们在语言使用上的艺术性及创造性。前景化是文学作品作家们借以突出其思想并创造出文学作品某种特殊的艺术和美学效果的基本方法。在艺术创作过程中,作家们通过偏离语言使用规范而使某些东西凸显出了,从而达到艺术创作的目的。本文系统论述了文学语言前景化及偏离的本质及其特征,分析了前景化与突出及反常之间的关系,在此基础上,通过分析若干实例,展示了文学语言中前景化的基本方法。

Literary Language and Foregrounding

What makes literary language,the carrier of the artistic value of literary works,differs from none-literary language is the novelty and creativeness in language use.Foregrounding is the basic technique which is employed by writers of literature to make what they want to express stand out,and to create unique artistic or aesthetic effect of literary works.In artistic creation,the writers of literature intentionally deviate from the norm of language use to make something salient for some artistic or aesthetic purpose.This paper clarifies such basic terms as literary language,foregrounding and deviation,analyzes the relationship between foregrounding,prominence and deviance,explores the functions and approaches of foregrounding,and illustrates the special literary effects created by the writers by means of foregrounding with examples.
