《梅葛》语言程式探析

摘要

This paper analyzes Gemei from the perspectives of narratology and orally-transmitted literature, focusing on “how to describe.” This departure provides a new perspective for protection and transmission of Ge-mei.As an orally-transmitted classic of the Yi people, Gemei shows language patterns of traditional epics, such as couplet rings in terms of semantics, repetition in terms of syntax and embedded locks in terms of lexicon–all these features give Gemei a unique language style.%从叙事学和口传文学的角度对《梅葛》进行分析，重点探索“怎么说”的问题，其切入点是保护和传承《梅葛》的一个新视角。作为彝族的口传经典，《梅葛》具有口传史诗的程式特征，在语义结构上显现出对句环扣程式，在句式结构上显现诗节内或诗节同句式重复程式，语词结构上显现出嵌扣程式，形成了梅葛别具一格的程式特征。
