摘要
《老人》是美国女作家凯瑟琳·安·波特"米兰达"系列小说中的一部。故事按照时间顺序分为三个部分,描述了女主人公米兰达在各个年龄阶段的不同心理状态。本文选取在这三个部分中米兰达所参与的及物性过程作为分析材料,并通过对语料中"前景化"的及物性过程的分析,揭示了米兰达从无知,迷惘到坚定的成长过程及其自我意识的觉醒,从功能文体学的角度为"米兰达"这一文学角色的解读提供了一个全新的视角。
This paper is a functional stylistic analysis of the story Old Mortality by Katherine Anne Porter （1890-1980）, with a focus on the transitivity system under the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Old Mortality is one of Porter＇ s Miranda stories. It＇ s chronologically divided into three parts, in which Miranda＇ s awareness of her female identity is gradually intensified. This research proceeds in three steps to investigate the process of Miranda＇ s growing up. The transitivity patterns concerning Miranda are chosen as the data for our analysis, which explores the growth of Miranda from an innocent child to a pro- mising young woman. The functional stylistic approach adopted by this paper contributes to a different way in understanding the theme of the awakening of self-awareness in the story Old Mortality.
