摘要/Abstract

摘要： 浪漫传奇是存在上千年却一直流行下来的一种体裁，它有固定的叙事模式、人物和情景。但是一种体裁的经久不衰如果仅靠程式化的结构、人物和情景显然是不够的。本文在分析浪漫传奇的定义、历史、分类和文体演变基础上，借用结构主义叙事学理论，归纳提炼出浪漫传奇中的三种原型（结构原型、人物原型和情景原型），并进一步说明浪漫传奇一直受到读者喜欢的原因是在各种原型保持不变的情况下，对其中的“卫星结构”（次要成份）做出调整改变的结果。这样做可以打破读者阅读预期，使读者享受阅读快感，进而受到读者追捧。同时，浪漫传奇中的这三种原型会有助于揭示读者对这一体裁叙事的认知过程。

关键词: 浪漫传奇, 结构主义叙事学, 结构原型, 人物原型, 情景原型

Abstract: As a genre, romance lasts for thousands of years, and it has fixed narrative modes, characters and situations. However, the genre cannot be long-lasting by its stable structure, characters and situations alone. By re-examining the definition, history, classification and stylistic evolution of the genre, and by way of the theories of structuralist narratology, the paper summarizes three romance prototypes, namely, structure prototype, character prototype, and situation prototype, and it proceeds to demonstrate that the changing of "satellites" which breaks the readers' expectation on romance provides the readers with reading pleasure. This explains the high popularity of romance since 12th century. The paper also maintains that the three types of prototypes may help to reveal readers' cognitive processes of romance narration.

Key words: romance, structuralist narratology, structure prototype, character prototype, situation prototype
