Abstract:In light of the great significance of address forms in real communication andthe important restraining role the context of situation plays in the understanding andusage of address forms, coupled with the inadequacy of past studies on address formsespecially the lack of a more systematic and macro framework, which could involvevarious contextual factors, the
thesis attempts to apply the three dimensions of register,namely, field, tenor and mode, which can cover various sub-contextual factors, to thestudy of address forms in an effort to establish a new framework in which addressforms are studied。
In the first place, the two basic concepts of the register and address forms areclarified especially the definition and the denotation of the two are specified, andthen address forms are studied in the three dimensionsfield, tenor and moderespectively in orderly three chapters and holistically in an independent chapter.Besides the theory of the three dimensions of register, abundant examples mainlyfrom movies and novels, are provided and analyzed to make the thesis both theoreticaland practical to a certain degree.Most importantly, the conclusion of the priority order of the three dimensionsof register in affecting the choice of address variants is reached so as to shed newlights on the three dimensions as a whole affecting the choice of address forms indifferent contexts especially when they are in conflict with each other in determiningaddress variants.
The thesis is an attempt to study English address form in a new system andframework, which can be beneficial to the teaching and learning of English addressforms so as to improve people's communicative competence by using and interpretingaddress forms properly in various contexts differentiated by the three dimensions. Asit can serve as a trial example of studying address forms in the English languagesystem in the new framework, the author appeals to linguists to further the study andadvise that they can apply the framework and findings to the study of address forms inother languages, which naturally allows for a possible comparison between differentlanguages.

摘要:称谓语在人际交流中起着举足轻重的作用,而情景语境对称谓语的理解与使用起了重大制约作用。然而有关称谓语的过去的一些研究存在一些局限性,尤其是缺乏一个能将语境各因素融合起来的更系统更宏观的框架。有鉴于此,本文试将语域的三个层面——语场,语旨与语式的理论应用于称谓语的研究。该三层面可将各语境因素融合起来形成一种新的研究称谓语的理论框架。
本文首先详细阐述了语域与称谓语两大基本概念,尤其是其定义与其在本文中的外延,接着对称谓语在语域三层面——语场,语旨和语式分别用三章篇幅进行研究,并独辟一章节来进行综合整体分析。除了其语域三层面的理论研究,本文主要从电影小说选取丰富的实例进行实证分析以使文章具有一定的理论意义与实际价值。
本文最终还得出了这三层面在影响称谓语方面的相对重要次序的结论,从而有助于提示当这三层面在不同语境中发生冲突时如何选择称谓变体的问题。本文试图在新的系统与框架中研究英语称谓语,该研究对英语称谓语的教学与学习大有裨益,有助于人们在不同的三层面语境中恰当使用与理解称谓语从而提高交际能力。由于本文提供了英语称谓语系统新的理论框架的尝试性研究,笔者建议其他语言学家可进行更深入的研究,并提出了将该研究应运用于其他称谓语言体系中,并自然地进行对比的可行性。
