陕北民歌中意象的特点与分类

Features and Classifications of Imagery of Northern Shaanxi Folk Songs

摘要: 诗歌是一种高度凝练的语言艺术。意象、意境是诗歌创作的核心要素。陕北民歌是陕北民俗文化的活化石，其中蕴含着丰富的意象，如：“洞宾戏牡丹”、“瑶池”、“蓝花花”等。人们对于这些意象的准确解读是理解陕北民歌的有效手段，但少有人对其进行研究。帕尔默文化语言学以意象作为理论核心，认为意象能挖掘语言使用者的内心世界和思维模式，意象与文化和语言密切相关。该观点为笔者提供了从意象视角研究陕北民歌的新思路。

Abstract: Poetry is a highly condensed language art. Imagery and artistic conception are the core elements of poetry creation. North Shaanxi Folk Songs are the living fossils of folk culture in Northern Shaanxi, which contain rich poetic imageries, such as “Yao Chi” “Blue Flower” and so on. The ac-curate interpretation of these imageries is an effective way to understand the folk songs in Northern Shaanxi, but few people have studied them. Palmer’s cultural linguistics takes imagery as its theoretical core, and holds that imagery can explore the inner world and thinking mode of language users. Imagery is closely related to culture and language. This viewpoint provides the author with a new way of thinking about the folk songs of Northern Shaanxi from the perspective of imagery.
