摘要

My dissertation is a linguistic/literary analysis of three contemporary black women's novels: Alice Walker's The Color Purple, Toni Morrison's Tar Baby, and Gloria Naylor's The Women of Brewster Place. I focus on these authors' use of language and apply sociolinguistic theory to my analysis. Specifically, I examine the question of a black women's genderlect and the implications of such language for readers and literary critics of black women's novels. I argue that the history of black women in this country, a history framed by racism and sexism, has contributed to the development of a language that reveals black women's consciousness. The language used by the black women characters in the three novels I discuss demonstrates this consciousness and communicates culturally specific meanings to those black women who share the same consciousness.;The first chapter explains the purpose and scope of the dissertation. I discuss the historical ignorance of works by black women and the efforts on the part of black feminist critics to develop a womanist orientation. The second chapter provides a historical background on the use of black dialect and speech styles in literature. It analyzes the shift in attitudes toward this dialect during the Black Arts Movement and how it is now being used in black literature. This chapter also discusses the attempts by black women writers to (re)establish a black women's literary tradition. The third chapter analyzes Alice Walker's use of dialect in The Color Purple. The fourth chapter examines the use of inversion in Toni Morrison's Tar Baby. The fifth chapter examines the various voices controlled by social context in The Women of Brewster Place. The final chapter discusses how the black woman, who rarely recognized herself in the faces of Euro-American women literary characters, has become an insider as she reviews literature written about her and in her own language. The signs and symbols she encounters are no longer arbitrary; they are loaded with culturally specific womanist meanings.
机译：我的论文是对三部当代黑人女性小说的语言/文学分析：爱丽丝·沃克的《紫色》，托妮·莫里森的《柏油宝贝》和格洛丽亚·内罗尔的《布鲁斯特的女人》。我专注于这些作者对语言的使用，并将社会语言理论应用于我的分析。具体来说，我研究了黑人女性的性别歧视问题，以及这种语言对黑人女性小说的读者和文学评论家的意义。我认为，这个国家的黑人女性历史是种族主义和性别歧视的历史，它促进了揭示黑人女性意识的语言的发展。我所讨论的三部小说中黑人女性角色所使用的语言证明了这种意识，并向具有相同意识的黑人女性传达了文化上的特定意义。第一章说明了本文的目的和范围。我将讨论黑人女性对作品的历史无知，以及黑人女性主义批评家为发展女性主义取向所做的努力。第二章提供了黑色方言和言语风格在文学中使用的历史背景。它分析了黑人艺术运动期间对该方言的态度转变，以及它如何在黑人文学中得到使用。本章还讨论了黑人女性作家为重新建立黑人女性文学传统所做的尝试。第三章分析了《紫色》中爱丽丝·沃克对方言的使用。第四章探讨了托尼·莫里森（Toni Morrison）的《焦油宝贝》中反演的用法。第五章探讨了《布鲁斯特广场的女人》中社会语境所控制的各种声音。最后一章讨论了这位黑人妇女，她很少会在欧美女性文学人物的面孔中认出自己，如何成为她的内幕知情者，因为她评论了有关她和自己语言的文献。她遇到的标志不再是随意的。它们充满了文化上特定的女性主义含义。
