【摘要】 王毅作为外交部长,已经在国内外多次发表重要演说。回顾王毅外长演说的相关研究发现,国内许多研究者主要从语用学、翻译学、认知隐喻等角度进行研究,从修辞批评角度分析其演说的研究较少。本研究采用定性研究方法,回顾了当代西方修辞批评和新亚里士多德修辞批评的相关研究。运用新亚里士多德修辞批评分析王毅外长在国际形势与中国外交关系研讨会的六篇开幕式致辞(2014-2019),探讨其语言特点和修辞策略。根据新亚里士多德修辞批评的框架,从三个方面展开论述:一是修辞情境,包括对修辞场合、演讲者和受众的分析;二是修辞“五艺”的分析,包括修辞发明、组织、风格、记忆和演讲发表的分析;第三,演讲的有效性评估。研究发现王毅外长开幕辞的主要特点可以概括为三点。首先,当目标受众为相关领域的专家和学者时,演讲者王毅主要运用品格、情感和逻辑诉诸说服受众接受他的演讲,从而达到其修辞目的,即希望更多的专家和学者能为中国外交的发展贡献智慧。其次,演讲内容可以分为开始、叙述、证明、以及结论,其中叙述部分主要包括近一年的主要外交成就和下一年的主要外交计划。第三,演讲风格的分析主要体现在词汇和修辞手法方面。演讲者王毅使用三种修辞策略说服受众认可他的演讲,即品格、情感和逻辑诉诸。当王毅使用品格诉诸时,创造了“个人角色”和“情境角色”,让观众不仅感受到演讲者的魅力,也感受到中国外交的魅力。使用情感诉诸时,王毅首先缩小了与受众的心理距离,然后通过唤起观众的责任感、自豪感和爱国情感来说服受众。使用逻辑诉诸时,主要通过国家重要领导人的实际外交经历增强真实性,其次将外交理念包含于三段论中,体现演讲者的外交智慧。研究国际形势与中国外交研讨会开幕式致辞表明使用西方修辞学的理论分析主要面向国内受众的演讲是可行的;也可以使更多人了解中国外交进展、更好地传达中国外交理念;同时为从国内的角度研究中国外交话语关系提供一些启示。
【Abstract】 Wang Yi,as Foreign Minister,has delivered many important addresses at home and abroad.This study has reviewed the relevant research of his addresses and it is found that many domestic researchers mainly conduct research from the perspectives of pragmatics,translation studies,and cognitive metaphor.However,the studies of his addresses from the perspective of rhetorical criticism are few.This study adopts qualitative research method and reviews contemporary Western rhetorical criticism and Neo-Aristotelian rhetorical criticism,and it uses Neo-Aristotelian rhetorical criticism to analyze the six opening addresses(2014-2019)of Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Symposium on International Situation and China’s Foreign Relations(SISCFR)with the aim of exploring language characteristics and rhetorical strategies.According to the framework of Neo-Aristotelian rhetorical criticism,this study mainly analyzes from three aspects: the reconstruction of rhetorical context,including rhetorical occasion,the speaker and the audience;the analysis of the five rhetorical canons,including rhetorical invention,arrangement,style,memory and delivery;and the assessment of the effectiveness of addresses.The main characteristics of Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s opening addresses can be summarized in three points according to the analysis.First,when target audience are experts and scholars of relevant areas,the speaker Wang Yi uses ethos,pathos,and logos to persuade the audience to accept his addresses with the hope of enabling more experts and scholars to contribute their wisdom to the development of China’s diplomacy.Second,the content of addresses can be divided into introduction,narration,proof and conclusion,and in narration he mainly describes the major diplomatic achievements of the year and the major diplomatic plans for the next year.Third,the influence of style on the addresses is mainly reflected in the use of vocabulary and rhetorical devices.The speaker Wang Yi uses three rhetorical strategies to persuade the audience to accept his addresses,namely ethos,pathos,and logos.When Wang Yi uses ethos,he creates “personal character” and “situated character”,allowing the audience to not only feel the charm of the speaker,but also the charm of China’s diplomacy.When the speaker uses pathos,he first narrows the psychological distance between him and the audience,and then arouses their senses of responsibility,pride and patriotism.When the speaker uses logos,the authenticity of these addresses is enhanced mainly through the actual diplomatic experience of the national important leaders,and then he integrates diplomatic ideas into enthymemes,reflecting the speaker’s diplomatic wisdom.This study shows that it is feasible to use the the Western rhetorical theory to analyze the addresses mainly facing the domestic audience and this study to some extent is helpful to make more people understand the progress of China’s diplomacy and better convey China’s diplomatic ideas.And it also can provide some enlightenment for studying China’s foreign discourse relations from the domestic perspective.
