摘要

本論文從語言風格學角度探討《嫁妝一牛車》一文的語言特色與其「怪誕」風格。〈嫁妝一牛車〉的怪誕風格來自詞彙偏離和句法偏離以及性別話與偏離三方面。詞彙偏離得自言内語境與言外語境的語碼雜燴；句法偏離則主要得自言內語境的塑造，包括動詞語義歧義以及改變信息焦點成分等。性別話語偏離主要是詈詞使用的性別顛倒。透過本文分析，可提供語言學方式來理解及欣賞文學作品。

This paper discusses the linguistic features of the grotesque style of An Ox-Cart for Dowry from a perspective of linguistic stylistics. The grotesque style of this novel comes from both lexical deviation and syntactical deviation. The former is derived from the intra-lingual contexts and extra-linguistic contexts, and the latter is mainly derived from the intra-lingual contexts in which new verbs are shaped and information focuses are changed. In addition, this article also discusses the deviation of gender discourse in swearing. Through the analyses in this paper, literary works can be understood and appreciated through linguistic methods.
