中美抗战歌曲的语域对比分析.doc

Abstract

    In view of the respective history of America and China, both of them at the initiative period of founding are a history of war and colonization, suffering from the foreign aggression and inhumane treatment. In order to save their rights of independent territory and freedom, they braved them up to fight in the war against foreign invaders. Meanwhile, in the duration of war, the resistance songs played a very important role in inspiring and encouraging people to join in army, to show their perseverance of safeguarding their land, protecting their families and relatives. Nowadays, with the coming of new world era and globalization of politic and economy, the peace and development have become the world theme, nevertheless, our world is still unsafe, facing serous intension and instability like local conflict and terrorism insurgent. Therefore, as a member of the world people, all of us should keep in mind that war means destroying and damage, war is the same enemy human being, the world need peace, so do the people, whereas, making study on resistance songs is help to good communication and understanding of different people from different country, in turn, on the basis of mutual understanding, it’s easier to settle down conflicts between different countries. Therefore, people need attach importance to the significance and value reflecting in resistance songs to realize that the world peace is precious and need all countrymen’s efforts to safeguard. 

    The first Chinese linguist who introduced register theory into China is Zhang Delu. He explains the theory to Chinese linguistic scholars systemically and concretely, but he didn’t apply this theory to other domain study. While, in 1982, the revolutionist Liu Liangmo mentioned the attitude Americans holding towards Chinese resistance songs, he became the first person who began to make study on translating Chinese resistance songs into English and delivering them to Americans is Liu Liangmo, and his research aroused a lot of foreign artists and linguists’ eyes on Chinese resistance songs and discussing their own resistance songs with Chinese scholars, which to large extent enhanced the mutual communication of the two country fellows at that time, nevertheless, there was still the limitation, for Liu Liangmo only confined his study on Chinese resistance songs but didn’t extend to other field. Therefore, we can safely conclude that there were few scholars in China once have studied the value of Chinese-American resistance songs by combining the register theory. According to above phenomenon, this paper mainly explore the differences and similarities between the composing of Chinese-American resistance songs from the three theoretical factors of register; field, tenor and mode. Secondly, it will analysis the respective features and meanings of Chinese-American resistance songs through combining the three meta-functions of systematic function grammar; the ideational function, interpersonal function and textual function. Thirdly, it will trace to the reasons which differentiate in the composing of Chinese-American resistance songs. Finally, it will summarize the effect and significance the Chinese-American resistance songs bringing on people.

    Key words: Chinese-American resistance songs；register；World peace

   

摘要

    纵观中美历史，两个国家建国初可谓都是一部战争殖民史，都饱受外国侵略和非人的对待。为保全领土完整和自由权利，两国人民曾经涌入到了抗击外国侵略的战争洪流之中。与此同时，在战争期间，抗战歌曲在鼓舞和激励人们参军保家卫国方面起到了重大作用。如今，随着新世纪的到来和世界政治经济全球化，和平与发展已成为世界主题。但是，我们的世界却仍然不安全，面临着诸多局部紧张和动荡，如地方冲突和恐怖分子暴动。因此，作为世界公民，我们每一个人都应该铭记战争就意味着毁灭与创伤，战争是我们的世界公敌，世界需要和平，人类更需要和平。然而，对各国抗战歌曲的研究有助于来自不同国家的人们更好地交流与沟通，而且在相互理解的基础上人们才会更好地解决各国纠纷，以促进世界和平。因此，人们应该重视抗战歌曲所体现的意义和价值，意识到世界的和平是来之不易的，世界和平需要全人类的共同努力去守护。

张德禄是第一个把语域理论引进中国的语言学家，他系统详细地阐述了语域理论三大变量的含义及其应用，但是却只是单纯地进行纯理论介绍，而没有将其应用到文本和其他领域中进行研究。1982年，伟大的改革家刘良模提及到美国人对中国抗战歌曲所持的态度，他成为第一个对中美抗战歌曲进行研究的学者，他将中国抗战歌曲翻译成英文，引起了许多美国艺术家和语言学家对中美歌曲的研究，这在很大程度上促进了当时中美两国人民的相互交流，但是他只局限在对中美抗战歌曲的研究而没有扩展到其他领域。针对以上现象，本文主要从语域的三大变量（即语场，语旨和语式）去探讨中美抗战歌曲创作的异同点，接着结合系统功能语法的三大元功能（意义功能，交际功能和语篇功能）去分析中美抗战歌曲各自体现出的特征和意义，然后再追溯中美抗战歌曲出现异同的根源，最后，总结概况中美抗战歌曲对人们产生的影响和意义。
