基于意象图式理论对大学生“哭”类表情符号的语用研究

摘要

网络表情符号作为新媒体发展的产物，已广泛运用到人们的在线聊天中。由简单的标点符号发展而来的网络表情符号虽是非言语交际的形式，但其具有丰富的语用含义。本文旨在对网络表情符号作语言学方面的探讨，主要运用意象图式理论。意象图式作为认知语言学领域的重要理论之一，其主要原理是用图式来表示人们大脑对外界事物的认知及由此形成的意象。　　本文旨在应用意象图式理论分析“哭”类网络表情符号的语用意义及语用态度。本文讨论四个问题:　　(1)网络表情符号是否在大学生群体中得到广泛使用；　　(2)大学生使用网络表情符号的原因；　　(3)“哭”类表情符号的语用意义及其所表征的意象图式模型；　　(4)“哭”类表情符号的语用态度对比分析及其所表征的意象图式模型。　　该研究对象是某大学的大学生，通过测验显示，调查对象的专业、年级和年龄等因素不会影响调查结果。因此，研究者随机抽取300名大学生，对其进行问卷调查，控制男女比例为1:1。最后，处理问卷调查的数据并结合例句分析意象图式模型，结果表明：　　(1)大学生群体都有使用网络表情符号的经历；　　(2)使用原因主要是速度快、缩短对话双方心理距离和表达自我情感与个性；　　(3)每个表情的语用意义界限不分明，笔者将表征最明显的语用意义进行了意象图式阐释，发现表情符号虽不是语言，但具有语言的某些特性；　　(4)“哭”类表情虽是哭脸，但其既能表达消极态度，也能表达积极态度。利用意象图式对比分析出这类表情表达的语用态度,结果表明“笑哭”表情表达的态度最积极，“大哭”表情表达的态度最消极。
