摘要
中國古典文學的敘事傳統最早可上溯自先秦史傳散文，而《國語》在這樣的發展脈絡中，無論內容與形式的表現，均有重要的成就，特別是在於其豐富的記言及篇章當中展露的人物形象與載道意義。因此，本論文擬從敘事的角度，透過詳細精讀文本，掌握《國語》各篇章的書寫；並以四項敘事要素（情節、觀點、人物、意義）作為各章節的主要觀察方向及內容安排的劃分依據，也適度擇取、參考其他可藉資探究的相關中、西敘事理論，歸納、突顯《國語》史傳散文的敘事藝術。 第一章緒論，說明研究動機、目的、方法，並對前輩學者有關《國語》文學研究的文獻做一回顧與整理；第二章針對敘事中的「情節」，探討《國語》篇章佈局的敘事模式，及其寫作上組織情節所內含的時空意識與敘述方式；第三章則論「敘事者的觀點」，分析史官如何觀看歷史事件、有何敘事特色、又有何深意；第四章著重如何運用敘事的手法描寫歷史人物、塑造人物類型，而在《國語》中表現出的人物形象又是什麼面貌，此外，《國語》記載的各種人物說話術也一併在本章討論；第五章在於闡述《國語》敘事的「意義」受到文化背景的影響，如何在文章中流露歷史解釋與評論之意。最後，藉由對《國語》寫作的情節、觀點、人物、意義等四項要素逐一細密剖析，在第六章提出結論，以闡明、確立《國語》在敘事上的獨特地位與貢獻。
