内容摘要

自从上世纪七十年代以来，称赞答语一直都是语言学研究的热门话题之一。但其中大多数是基于英语文化的研究，对汉语文化语境下的称赞答语研究则不够充分。并且，对于中国人称赞答语的相当一部分研究结果大相径庭。陈融、高航、郭爱先和贡献的研究结果显示拒绝称赞的被调查者分别为96％，42.53％，10％和6.818％。这种分歧的存在是本项研究的主要动因之一。研究目的：本论文旨在研究中国大学生回答称赞语时所采取的策略。主要调查说话人之间的权势关系，社会距离，以及被称赞者的性别和所学专业对称赞答语的影响。理论框架：本文所参考的理论框架主要是Verschueren提出的语言顺应理论。根据这一理论，我们把称赞答语看作是一个对社交世界动态顺应的言语行为。研究方法和过程：本项研究使用定性研究与定量研究相结合的方法。定性研究指问卷调查。定量研究指笔者把从学生中收集到的问卷进行归类统计，并以图表方式显示被调查者的称赞答语策略。笔者对广东外语外贸大学两个英语专业班和两个非英语专业班144名学生进行问卷调查。共收到1440条答语。研究结果：通过问卷调查和资料统计分析，笔者得出如下结论。 (1) 当代中国大学生倾向于接受称赞，只有6.8％的英语专业学生和11.2％的非英语专业学生拒绝称赞。他们的答语策略受到与称赞者的权势关系、社会距离、以及被称赞者的性别、所学专业有关。 (2) 当代中国大学生的称赞答语是他们动态顺应社交世界的结果。包括对大学社交场合、传统中国文化、西方文化、当代中国社会发展的顺应。 (3) 在对言语行为进行跨文化交际研究中，我们应该采取动态的眼光。因为语言是文化的反应，而文化又是发展的变动的。
