摘要
葛亮是当今香港地区文学中的重要作家,曾凭中篇小说《飞发》获得鲁迅文学奖,近年来又以新作《燕食记》进一步引起了学界的关注。但研究者们要么将目光集中于其小说中的饮食风物与岭南文化,或再议葛亮自《北鸢》而起的对民国历史与文化的怀旧以及匠人心思,偏重于文化解读,却大多忽略了对葛亮小说语言的探析与考察。葛亮小说的语言风格丰富多样。在早期的短篇小说集《七声》中,其小说便在形式上多短句,富有节奏感,内容上语词克制,常以简洁干净、平淡克制的含蓄风格来传达人物信息、表现人物情感。自首部长篇小说《朱雀》始,葛亮以古典词汇的融入、省略与倒装句式的运用以及长短句相生的叙述节奏等方式展现了其细致、从容的叙事姿态,增强了小说古朴典雅的语言风格,这种古典韵味在另一部长篇《北鸢》中得到了强化。同时,葛亮也在不断地试验、变换着小说的语言风格。他在《猴子》《飞发》《燕食记》等小说的叙述语言中夹杂着多种文体、语体及方言,通过语域与方言的偏离进一步促进了小说内部语言风格的多样化、生动性与灵活性,糅合成众声喧哗的混杂性。由此,葛亮的小说逐渐形成具有个人特色的小说语言风格。
As an important writer in contemporary Hong Kong literature,Ge Liang has won the Lu Xun Prize for Literature for his novella Flying Hair,and in recent years,he has further attracted the attention of the academic community with his new novel Food Is Heaven.However,researchers have either focused on the food and Lingnan culture in his novels,or reconsidered Ge Liang’s nostalgia for the history and culture of the Republic of China and his craftsmanship since The Northern Kite,favoring cultural interpretations,but most of them have neglected to analyze and examine the language of his novels.The language style of his novels is rich and diverse.In his early short story collection Seven Voices,his novels are characterized by short sentences with a sense of rhythm and restrained language in content,often conveying the character information and emotions in a simple,clean,plain,restrained and implicit style.Since his first full-length novel Vermilion Bird,Ge Liang has demonstrated his meticulous and unhurried narrative posture through the integration of classical vocabulary,the use of ellipses and inverted sentences,and the rhythm of narration in which long and short sentences are generated,thus enhancing the novel’s simple and elegant language style.This classical flavor is further strengthened in his another novel,The Northern Kite.At the same time,Ge Liang is also constantly experimenting and changing the language style.In his novels such as Monkey,Flying Hair,and Food Is Heaven,his narrative language is mixed with a variety of literary styles,languages,and dialects.Through the deviation of register and dialect,he further promotes the diversification,vividness,and flexibility of language styles within the novels,and combines them into a noisy mix.As a result,Ge Liang’s novels gradually formed his unique language style.
