Good morning, everyone.My name is xx, coming from cla 5.The title of my paper is an analysis of dialogues in Hemingway’s The Killers from the perspective of discourse analysis.It’s finished with constant encouragement and guidance of my supervisor xx.Here I want to expre my sincere thanks to him, who has walked me through all the stages of the writing of this thesis.At the same time, I would like to expre my heartfelt gratitude to all the profeors and teachers, who have instructed and helped me a lot in the past four years.I also owe my sincere gratitude to every teacher here for spending your precious time on going through my paper.Next, please allow me to make a simple report on my paper’s purpose and significance, the structure and contents and the limitations to you and earnestly request you to make a comment on it.Firstly, I’d like to talk about the purpose and significance of my thesis.Earnest Miller Hemingway was the most influential American writer of the last century, who won a 1953 Pulitzer Prize and awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954.Hemingway is adept at writing dialogues and a large portion of dialogues in his fictions enable kinds of figures created by Hemingway lively and vivid.The Killers, one of the most excellent works among modern American short stories, is the first work of Hemingway to be recognized, appreciated and ardently loved by American, also the first to be translated into Chinese.Hemingway preferred to finish this short story in dialogues rather than to pay much attention to describing the plots and environment.The previous analyses of The Killers mainly focus on the perspective such as narration, dialogues and iceberg theory to probe into this work’s theme and significance.However, this paper tries to analyze this short story finished with dialogues from the perspective of discourse analysis and explore how dialogues unfold plots and portray characters so that it can embody the significant effect of dialogues in fiction and reflect the glamour of dialogues.Meanwhile, it is hoped that this paper can to some extent contribute to the further research on Hemingway’s works.Secondly, I’d like to introduce the structure and contents of my paper.As for the structure, it will be separated into four chapters in this paper to develop the thesis.The first chapter will introduce the research background, purpose, significance and structure of the thesis.The second chapter will pay attention to the literary review of this topic, stating the concept and the development of discourse analysis and its adaption in literary analysis.The third chapter, the main body of this paper, will be concerned about the specific analyses of dialogues in The Killers regarding the effects of dialogues to unfold plots and portray characters.Under the support of the theory of discourse analysis, the author will probe into dialogues’ effects in different settings and the individualization of different figures, reflecting how dialogues take effect in short story.And the last chapter will cover the conclusion of this paper, summarizing the results of analyzing dialogues from the viewpoint of discourse analysis.And let me move to the contents of the thesis.As for the concept and development of discourse analysis, we can figure out that it’s the actual use of language units and a continuous proce of communication, and discourse analysis, or discourse studies, is a term for a number of approaches to analyze written, spoken, signed language use or any significant semiotic event.Also it can be thought that a series of paragraphs or sentences constitute the language as a whole.In 1952, Z.S.Harris first put forward the term “discourse analysis” in his article published on magazine Language, which was regarded as the origin of the modern discourse analysis.From middle 1960s till now, it’s generally believed that discourse analysis has become an independent research field.And its appearance is bound to the continuous development of human’s understanding to the language.As for the application of discourse analysis in literary analysis, it uses some of the specific theoretical perspectives and analytical approaches as the following:(emergent grammar, functional grammar, text or discourse grammar, interactional sociolinguistics, cohesion and relevance theory, pragmatics, particularly speech act theory, conversation analysis, discursive psychology, cognitive psychology and so on.)And I analyze the specific dialogues in this paper through applying the approaches and perspectives of discourse analysis.Next, it refers to the main body of the thesis.First part is the effects of dialogues on unfolding plots.In this part, I apply the cooperative principle and the speech act theory to analyze the effect of dialogues in the short story to propel the plots, from unfolding the killers’ behavior in Henry’s lunch-room to Nick’s meeting with Anderson.It shows that only the killers and other characters obey four maxims of cooperative principle can they go on their communication smoothly.And their violation to the principle and the behavior of following the speech act theory gradually show the tension of the plots.The following part is about the effects of dialogues on portraying characters.Besides the adoption of the cooperative principle and speech act theory, I also analyze the personality of characters by the way of repetition.As a natural composition in the language use, the repetition was one of the most important ways in the language communication, which has great impact on the smooth conversation and clear contents of communication and an indispensable part in studying the cooperative principle.The repetition of the characters in the short story, with the other two theories, shows their personality and attitudes to the thrilling thing.From the detailed analyses, we can find out the killers are experienced in the murder and they are so fierce and ruthle to sell their soul and conscience to kill a strange man in a strange town.And they are just the puppet manipulated by some people and truly a cold-blooded killing machine with emotional emptine and numbne.And George is indifferent to others but only cares his own interests;he is so social to adapt this society in a compliant way.Nick is simple, kind-hearted and inexperienced to look at this world with innocent eyes.And Sam is cold and timid because of his low social status as a nigger.Also it portrays the tragic Anderson who has to despise the death and face the danger fearlely in order to maintain his dignity and personality.At last, I get the conclusion that dialogues in The Killers is an effective means to unfold plots and portray characters and adapting the perspective of discourse analysis to analyze the literary works is feasible and valid.Otherwise, although I try my best to collect much more information about my paper and make every effort to write it, it still has some limitations which I can’t reach.I’m not so familiar with the profound theory and it can be improved in the aspect of putting theory into practice.Also, I don’t adapt some theory to make an analysis because of my limited ability, for example, I want to adapt the discursive psychology to probe into dialogues in the short story, but I quit finally because I’m not confident to control it well.And some analyses in the paper are also not so perfect, I will seriously study their adaption in the future to keep improving myself continually.Hope every teacher makes advisable comments on my paper so that I can learn more useful in the after study.The Killers tells that two killers are employed by someone to come to a strange town to murder a boxer named Anderson.They come to the Henry’s lunch-room to threaten waiters and tie up the cook when they’re waiting for the appearance of their intended target-Anderson.But their plan fail because of Anderson doesn’t come to have a dinner that day.Nick working in the lunch-room goes to Anderson’s home to inform his this thing, but Anderson doesn’t do anything to the coming murder.Then Nick shocked by his attitude comes back the lunch-room and decides to leave this town.Its structure and plots are very concise and there’s no description of fierce fight, however, it’s still stimulating to readers.
