摘要格林童话是深受许多儿童和青少年喜欢的童话,其中有很多非常经典的故事:“白雪公主”、“灰姑娘"和“小红帽”等,故事中也蕴涵了丰富的人生哲理,因故事情节比较适合儿童以及青少年的阅读需求,所以许多儿童和青少年是听着格林童话长大的。它让孩子们懂得了善恶美丑这些辨别是非的能力。所以对于童话中积极的一面应给予肯定。正因为其常见,我们反而不去探讨其内在的深刻含义,尤其是其中所折射出来的婚姻观。本文试运用批评语言学和系统功能相结合的分析方法来探讨格林童话中所暗含的婚姻观一婚姻中对男性的要求是什么,对女性的要求是什么以及对儿童和青少年而言怎样克服和解决童话中婚姻观的消极方面。然而从这方面探讨格林童话的文献很少,大多数学者都是把目光集中在大众语篇、官方话语以及个人话语,对它们如何进行批评话语分析和大众媒体所反映的意识形态及权力。本文认为对童话爱情故事中的婚姻观及其背后的权力和意识形态进行探讨是很有必要的,分析童话中所隐含和暗含的婚姻观到底是什么样的婚姻观,因为其会对儿童以及青少年的婚姻观产生影响,同时也可以采取相应的措施预防不健康的婚姻观。本论文共分为五章,第一章为引言,对论文做了总体的介绍。重在阐明本论文的结构,要解决的问题、目标以及意义。第二章概述批评语言学目前在国内外的研究成果介绍,指出批评语言学与系统功能语法的内在联系并说明批评语言学的方法对文学这一文类也适用。第三章,从批评语言学和从系统功能语法分析模式两种角度,简要概述与本论文相关的理论框架。第四章,基于费尔克拉夫的三维理论框架结合韩礼德的相关理论对所选文本进行分析,解答问题,提出方案。最后一章是论文的总结,着重归纳本论文的发现与不足以及本研究的发展方向。批评话语分析的研究集中于非文学语篇的研究,本文是利用该理论对文学语篇进行研究分析的一次尝试,希望能够拓展该理论的研究范围。同时本研究也证明了功能语言学可适用的特点,是批评语言学重要的理论基础。关键词:批评话语分析;婚姻观;意识形态;男性中心主义III
