In Chinese when someone breaks a bowl or a plate, the host or the people present are likely to say ---碎碎(岁岁平安)as a means of controlling the forces which they believe feel might affect their lives. Which function does it perform?
A. Interpersonal
B. Emotive
C. Performative
D. Recreational
题目解答
答案
C. Performative
解析
本题考查语言功能的分类,核心在于理解语言在特定语境中的实际作用。关键点在于识别“碎碎(岁岁平安)”这一表达的实际目的:通过语言直接实现祈福、消灾的效果,而非单纯传递信息或表达情感。需明确施效功能(Performative)的特点——语言行为本身即能产生实际效果(如祝福、诅咒),而无需依赖其他媒介。
选项分析
- A. Interpersonal(人际功能):用于建立、维护人际关系(如问候、道歉),与本题中祈福行为无关。
- B. Emotive(情感功能):用于表达情感(如高兴、悲伤),但本题重点不在情感传递。
- C. Performative(施效功能):语言行为本身直接产生实际效果(如“我宣布……”“祝福你……”),符合“碎碎平安”通过语言祈求平安的语境。
- D. Recreational(娱乐功能):用于娱乐,与本题语境不符。
关键结论
“碎碎平安”通过语言直接实现“保平安”的实际效果,属于施效功能。
