【摘要】 在晚清时期的文学作品当中,谴责小说独树一帜,思想、艺术成就相对较高,社会影响力较大,其代表作品主要有被称为“四大谴责小说”的《官场现形记》、《二十年目睹之怪现状》、《孽海花》、《老残游记》。晚清四大谴责小说主要采用晚清时期的白话写成,基本符合当时的口语特征,民间的许多口语现象在小说语言中得到了鲜明的体现。许多新词、新语、新义也能及时地呈现在作品当中。这一时期是近代汉语走向现代汉语的一个过渡时期,直接奠定了现代汉语词汇系统的基础。对晚清时期的四大谴责小说词汇特点的研究,既是对古代汉语、近代汉语词汇研究的继承和延续,同时也是对现代汉语词汇的溯源,它直接反映出中古、近代词汇向现代汉语词汇发展和演变过程中的基本规律和面貌。本文以晚清四大谴责小说为主要语料,力图通过对晚清四大谴责小说词汇特点的研究,描写出晚清四大谴责小说词汇系统的基本面貌,并对具体的词汇现象加以分析和阐释,从而在一定程度上揭示出由近代汉语词汇向现代汉语词汇发展演变过程中的基本现象和规律。在研究过程中,本文立足于现代语言学理论,特别是现代词汇学理论,借鉴现代语言学的研究方法,同时又吸纳传统小学的治学精神,对晚清四大谴责小说的词汇系统予以探讨。全文共分为七章:第一章为“绪论”。本章讨论了本课题的研究价值、研究现状和研究方法;从晚清白话小说与晚清时期的白话文运动,晚清四大谴责小说基本内容及版本情况入手,介绍了本文的研究语料概况;并探讨了晚清四大谴责小说词汇的历史聚合特点。第二章为“晚清四大谴责小说词汇构成(上)”。本章从基本词汇和一般词汇两个方面讨论了晚清四大谴责小说词汇系统的概貌。首先讨论了断代基本词汇和专书基本词汇的概念问题,确立了晚清四大谴责小说基本词汇判定的基本原则。并对本时期新进入基本词汇范畴的成分进行了分类描写。在本章的第二节中,重点从历史上传承下来的固有词,因特殊需要而加以运用的古语词,来自地域方言的方言词,外来文化影响下产生的外来词,来自各行各业的社会方言词等五个方面对晚清四大谴责小说中的一般词汇进行了系统地、全面地描写。第三章为“晚清四大谴责小说词汇构成(下)”。晚清四大谴责小说中所有的相当于词的作用的固定结构,和基本词汇、一般词汇一样,也是晚清词汇系统中不可或缺的重要组成部分。本章从结构形式、词义来源、使用特点等几个方面对晚清四大谴责小说中出现的成语、惯用语、谚语、习用套语等熟语形式进行了研究,从另一个侧面展示出了晚清四大谴责小说的词汇系统的面貌特点。第四章为“晚清四大谴责小说中的新词”。本章首先讨论了晚清新词的判定方法和基本原则,坚持以“义位”为基本单位的考察标准,即一个新的义位的产生,并赋予一定的结构形式,标志着一个新词的诞生。在此基础上,将晚清新词划分为新词形表示新义位和旧词形表示新义位的两个大类。从音节形式、词类特点等方面对新词进行了分类研究。从词义来源上将新词分为官场政治、经济贸易、社会生活、科学技术、风俗文化、专门词语的泛化等六个大类,从而探讨了晚清新词的主要成因。本章还对晚清新词的造词与构词特点进行了研究。举例辨析了摹声法、修辞法、简缩法、引申法等晚清时期几种最重要的造词方法。并从语音形式、词素的性质及组合方式特点两个方面讨论了晚清时期的构词特点。第五章为“晚清四大谴责小说词汇的新义”。词义包括了词的词汇意义、语法意义和色彩意义三个部分。本章从这三方面入手分析了晚清四大谴责小说中词义发展演变状况。首先从社会、人的认识、词汇系统内部三个方面探讨了新义产生的主要原因。接着利用翔实的例证分别讨论了词义内容三个部分新义演变的基本类型。其中,重点讨论了词汇意义演变的两种主要途径——引申和虚化,语法意义的演变主要表现形式——词性的转变,晚清四大谴责小说词义中色彩意义的主要类型,以及色彩意义演变的一种最主要方式——转移等基本问题。第六章为“晚清四大谴责小说中的词义类聚”。首先确定了词义类聚研究的三个基本原则:一、词义类聚是共时的、同一系统内的;二、构成同一词义类聚的词,语法意义必须相同;三、以义位为单位。在此基础上,对词义类聚的三种基本形式:同义词、近义词、反义词在界定、类型、产生原因等方面分别进行了分析。第七章为“晚清四大谴责小说中的民俗词语”。晚清四大谴责小说运用了大量民俗词语来反映当时的社会风俗,成功地将民俗描写与世情百态、人生诸相有机结合起来,充分揭示了当时复杂的社会关系、社会矛盾及其社会文化心理。本章首先讨论了晚清民俗词语的构成和来源问题,并对晚清民俗词语进行了细致的意义分类和结构分析。同时还对晚清民俗词语中的多义、同义、分类、关系等意义类聚形式进行了研究。本章的最后一节对晚清四大谴责小说中的民俗词语进行了一定程度上的文化分析。重点探讨了表服饰民俗词语与晚清服饰文化,表饮食民俗的词语与晚清饮食文化,以及晚清四大谴责小说中的娱乐行业词语与晚清市井风俗文化三方面的内容。完成了从社会和文化的视角对晚清四大谴责小说词汇系统的审视。晚清四大谴责小说词汇研究是《中国白话小说词汇史研究》的一个组成部分,也是中国白话小说词汇史断代研究的最后一个共时截面。对晚清时期汉语词汇系统基本概貌的研究,以及对晚清社会政治、经济、文化等语言外部因素对晚清小说词汇系统影响的考察等都具有十分重要的学术价值和意义。希望通过本文对以上课题的研究努力,能对汉语词汇史研究的学术发展尽自己的一点微薄之力。
