库尔特·冯尼格特纽约圣约翰教堂演说的语篇分析

摘要

Cohesion theory, widely used in many disciplines, shows its strong vitality. Being used in discourse analysis can help us clear up the meaning of the whole discourse and microcosmic contact, which helps improve the understanding and appreciation of the discourse. Black humor is a kind of literature and art forms, emphasizing the use of absurdity and helplessness to express the philosophy of life. Based on the cohesion theory, this paper analyses the speech of Kurt Vonnegut, black humorist, in St John＇s Church to reveal the discourse function of artistic effect by means of cohesive devices.%衔接理论在许多学科的广泛应用显示其较强的生命力，而应用于语篇分析之中能帮助我们廓清语篇的意义整体和微观联系，更能加深对语篇的理解和欣赏。黑色幽默是一种文学艺术表现形式，强调运用荒诞和无奈来表达人生哲理。本文以衔接理论为研究依据，对黑色幽默作家库尔特·冯尼格特在纽约圣约翰教堂的演说进行衔接语篇分析，旨在揭示衔接手段对黑色幽默艺术效果的语篇功能。
