報告簡介:
Previous studies have typically treated ostensible speech acts as routine forms of ostensible refusal, rather than examining them as a distinct phenomenon deserving focused analysis. To address this gap, the present study centers on self-directed ostensible criticisms (SOCs) occurring in gift-giving interactions in A Dream of Red Mansion, exploring their criticizable types, pragmatic functions, and cultural associations within the context of Chinese society. The findings reveal that: SOCs fall into five types: intentional self-deprecation of one’s status, intentional devaluation of the gift, breaches of etiquette, imposition on others, and presupposing others’ disdain, among which intentional self-deprecation of one’s status is the most prevalent. Beyond literal criticisms, SOCs fulfill four pragmatic functions in gift-giving interactions: Constructing a positive self-image, enhancing interpersonal rapport, reinforcing authority, and subtly flattering others. Confucian values of “li” (ritual propriety), and “he” (harmony), jointly shape indirect, socially attuned communication strategies.
