摘要基于贝克尔先前文本的概念和巴赫金的对话性,我通过追踪三对夫妇关于家庭责任的冲突是如何随着时间的推移而被回收、重构和重新调整的,来探索家庭话语中的互文性,无论是在彼此之间还是在与他人的对话中:一种情况是与朋友,另一种情况是与这对夫妇的孩子。我用“回收”这个词来形容一个话题被关闭,然后在同一个或不同的谈话中再次出现的情况;“重新构建”是指谈话内容的变化;“重新调整”是指互动的语气或基调的变化。我追溯了三个家庭中的每一个家庭的冲突--前两个简单,第三个详细--为了研究说话人如何协商家庭责任分工的冲突。在第三个例子中,分析有助于解释为什么家庭责任问题如此重要。在这三个例子中,恢复和谐在一定程度上是通过以幽默的基调重新构建来实现的,并且以加强说话者共同的家庭身份的方式来实现的。本文由此展示了互文性这一抽象概念在日常交际中的实际作用。
Abstract Building on Becker's notion of prior text and Bakhtin's of dialogicality, I explore intertextuality in family discourse by tracing how three couples' conflicts about domestic responsibilities are recycled, reframed, and rekeyed over time, both between each other and in conversation with others: in one case with a friend, and in another with the couple's child. I use the term ‘recycling’ for situations where a topic is closed then arises again later in the same or a different conversation; ‘reframing’ for a change in what the conversation is about; and ‘rekeying’ for a change in the tone or tenor of an interaction. I trace a conflict in each of three families—the first two briefly, the third at length—in order to examine how speakers negotiate conflicts about the division of household responsibilities. In the third example, analysis helps explain why the issue of household responsibilities carries so much weight. In all three examples, restoring harmony was accomplished in part by reframing in a humorous key, and in ways that reinforced the speakers' shared family identities. The paper thus demonstrates how the abstract concept, intertextuality, actually works in everyday interaction.
