摘要
本文以新视觉语法分析框架为基础,结合系统功能语言学的人际功能,以《牛津阅读树》绘本为语料,探究儿童英语叙事绘本中图像和文本两种模态建构人际意义的方式,及二者的协同建构方式.研究结果表明:1)文本模态主要通过陈述语气,多以第三人称视角叙事,旨在向读者"给予信息",保持读者客观地位;情态词多以低量值为主,体现对读者的尊重和礼貌.2)图像模态主要通过保持读者旁观者身份的方式,启发读者自我思考;颜色情态主要以鲜丽、多色差和暖色调为主,利于人际和谐.3)图像和文本模态均以"给予信息"、相互补充和扩展的方式向读者介绍故事情节,既不过多地介入读者,也不会完全使读者置身事外.研究发现对我国儿童英语教学及儿童英语绘本的图文创作具有借鉴作用.
Abstract
Drawing on New Visual Grammar,combining with interpersonal function of SFL,adopting Oxford Reading Tree as corpus,this paper analyzes the ways of two modes(image and text)in-terpersonal meaning construction in children's picture books and how they construct interpersonal meaning collaboratively.The results show that:1)The text mode of the children's picture books is mainly embodied by the mood of statement,mostly from the third-person per-spective,aiming to"give information"to the readers and maintain their objective position;the modality value is mostly between the median and low,reflecting the respect and politeness to the reader.2)The image mode of the picture book mainly inspires the self-thinking of readers by maintaining the status of bystanders;the color mode is represented by multi-color distinction and warm colors,which is conducive to interpersonal harmony.3)Both image modes and text modes mainly introduce the plot to readers in the way of"giving information",complementing and ex-panding each other,which does not involve readers excessively nor completely keep readers out of the context.The discovery of this study can provide references for English teaching and the image-text design of picture books for Chinese children.
