【摘要】 恭维语以及恭维语的应答(以下简称C和CR)受到年龄,性别,教育程度,社会地位以及文化定位等相关变量的重要影响。本文在整合礼貌原则,性别差异理论和跨文化交际理论的基础上,旨在说明对中国大学生的语言表达方式中存在的恭维语的性别差异,并且尝试在跨文化背景下对恭维语交际方式进行全面的探究。基于一种新的分析框架,作者通过问卷调查的方式收集到了来自120名非英语专业的大学生(男女各60人)的开放式问卷调查(称为DCT)的语料。在120份调查问卷中,有效问卷为100份。通过对数据进行定量与定性相结合的分析作者得出如下结论:1)男性更倾向于选择“接受+修正”策略,而女性往往更倾向于采用“接受”策略。2)女性对恭维语的使用与应答都要多于男性。3)女性与男性相比倾向于使用更多的显性恭维语;而男性与女性相比倾向于选择“不恭维”策略或是不做任何评论。4)女性更愿意接受对于外观以及所有物的恭维,以及主动去谈论有关外观以及所有物的恭维,而男性更愿意谈论有关能力与表现方面的话题。上述的这些差异主要来源于传统的社会观念中由于男女性别不同而形成的社会角色定位不同。在跨文化交际中,由于不同的文化取向,恭维语的使用与应答的策略呈现出了不同的分布。更多还原

【Abstract】 Compliment and compliment response (C and CR hereafter) are influenced by variables such as gender, levels of education, cultural orientation and social status. Incorporating politeness theory, gender difference theory as well as intercultural communication theory, this thesis aims at interpreting gender differences in Chinese college students’speech acts, and exploring their implication to communication between cultures.With a newly constructed analytical framework, the author collects data from more than 120 non-English major students who finish the open-ended questionnaire known as DCT design. Among the 120 questionnaires, 100 of which are valid. Making use of quantitative as well as qualitative studies on the collected data, the author confirms her hypothesis and makes the following findings:1) More males prefer to choose acceptance with amendment, whereas females tend to adopt more acceptance than males.2) Females receive and give more compliments than males do. They are supportive and affiliation-oriented.3) Females tend to use more explicit compliments than males do, while males tend to use no response strategy and more non-compliments than females do.4) Females prefer to accept compliment on appearance as well as possession and compliment on the topic of appearance,possession while males prefer to engage in the topic of performance. This trend is significantly shaped by gender roles prescribed by social tradition. In intercultural communication, due to different cultural orientations complimenting and responding strategies show diverse distributions.更多还原
