在古典修辞学中,反语作为反语的一个种类被包括在寓言(“他者说话”)中:矛盾,或反语。由于矛盾与寓言的经典定义“连续的隐喻”以及复杂寓言作品典型的提喻和联想思维模式(一词多义)不相容,反讽被排除在后古典文学理论的寓言之外。然而,寓言表达的条件是建立在反短语和多义词的系统对抗,如在一个网格。为了使寓言从这种对抗的场景中出现,一词多义必须占主导地位,将网格转变为对仍然看不见的起源的透视回归。这种转换是通过解释的手段来完成的,而反讽由于局限于主体的领域,对解释是不利的。反措辞始终存在。但它被解释为仍然看不见的起源的共鸣。(GT)
In classical rhetoric, irony is included in allegory (“other speaking”) as one of its species: contradiction, or antiphrasis. Because contradiction is incompatible with the classical definition of allegory as “continued metaphor” and with the synecdochal and associative mode of thinking (polysemy) typical of complex allegorical works, irony was excluded from allegory in postclassical literary theory. Nevertheless, the conditions for allegorical expression are grounded in the systematic confrontation of antiphrasis and polysemy, as in a grid. For allegory to emerge from this scene of confrontation, polysemy must predominate, transforming the grid into a perspectival regress to an origin that remains out of sight. This transformation is accomplished by means of interpretation, to which irony, being confined to the realm of the subject, is inimical. Antiphrasis remains present throughout. But it is interpreted as the resonance of the origin that remains out of sight. (GT)
