Study on the Modern "Transportation" : Its History and Influence on Literature and Language

这项研究是为了调查现代“交通”的各个方面，从最广泛的意义上讲; Verkehr，德语中的“交通”一词，意思是“交通、接触、交易、通信、流通和交流”，可以解释这个术语。在19世纪和20世纪，几乎所有的文学材料中都有关于交通工具的描述。它们有时代表现代技术，从时间和空间的角度带来新的世界观。我们的研究阐明了它们是如何影响小说家和诗人以及普通人的世界观的。交通工具的进步促进了书籍和杂志的广泛而巨大的流通。这种分配形式的变化对文学本身产生了深刻的影响。他们创作的文学作品最终演变成一种被称为后现代主义的模式。后现代主义的创作和欣赏源于文学在时空中流通的新方法，研究中还考察了人与人之间的接触、种族之间的接触以及由此产生的理解和误解。文学文本证明了“交通”作为人类互动的终极可能性或不可能性，而历史文献则展示了“他者”视觉的一些有趣特征。“交通”的语言学研究，侧重于社会习俗的功能，为本文的研究提供了更为广阔的视角。

The research was conducted to investigate various aspects of modern "transportation," taken in its broadest sense; Verkehr, German equivalent of the word, meaning "traffic, contact, dealings, correspondence,circulation and intercourse," may illustarate the terminology.In the 19th and 20th centuries, representations of the means of transportation are found in almost all the literary materials. They sometimes represented modern technology, bringing new visions of the world in terms of time and space. Our research elucidated the way they affected the Weltanschauung of novelists and poets as well as common people.Progress in the means of transporation facilitated a wide and enormous circulation of books and magazines. The changes in the form of distribution exerted a profound influence on the literature itself. They created literary works which eventually evolved into a mode called post-modernist. Post-modernistic creation and appreciation resulted from new methods of circulation of literature through time and space.Contacts among people, contacts between races and their consequent understanding and misunderstanding were also investigated in the research. Literary texts testifies the ultimate possibility or impossibility of "transportation" as a human interaction, while historical documents exemplifies some interesting characteristics of vision of "the other."Linguistic research of "transportation," with an emphasis on the function of social customs, provided with a broader perspective in this research.
