摘要
诗歌是历史性民族的原语言,能彰显该民族语言的基本特征。本文从语音韵律、文字构形、语法属性三个维度对比考察英汉诗歌语言的不同特征,主要发现有三:(1)英诗语言时间性较强,具有勾连性、延续性等一维线性特征,而汉诗语言空间性较强,具有块状性、离散性等立体多维特征;(2)英汉诗歌语言时空性的差异昭示了英汉语言的本质性差异:英语具有强时间性特质,而汉语则具有强空间性特质;(3)从英汉语言时空性差异角度可推衍出英汉民族的时空性思维差异:英语民族偏重于时间性思维,汉语民族偏重于空间性思维。这进一步佐证了“英汉时空性差异论”的观点。
Poetry is the Urspurach of a nation that embodies the latter’s fundamental characteristics.This paper examines the differences in linguistic features between English and Chinese poems in three dimensions:prosody,writing system and grammar.The examination yields three major findings:1)The English poetic language is characterized by a strong focus on temporality,highlighting its connectivity and continuity,while the Chinese poetic language is marked by a strong concentration on spatiality,stressing its discreteness and chunkiness.2)The spatiotemporal differences between English and Chinese poetic languages constitute the fundamental distinctions between the two languages:English being pro-temporality and Chinese being pro-spatiality.3)This temporal-spatial difference in the thinking pattern of the two languages could be deduced from the aforementioned findings:English-people are more temporality-oriented while Chinese people are more spatiality-oriented,which provides further support for the theory of“English pro-temporality and Chinese pro-spatiality”.
