Discourse Analysis of Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again

Hongxia ZHANG

Abstract


The linguistic theory of discourse is an important theory of discourse analysis. This paper analyzes Hsu Chih-mo’s classic poem Saying Goodbye to Cambridge Again from the perspective of the three basic functions of discourse: ideational function, interpersonal function, and textual function to, on one hand, further explore the narrative mode, expressive features and linguistic style of the poem, and on the other hand, explore new ways of analyzing poetry from the perspective of discourse in pragmatics.
