摘　　要：现代派小说家在语言形式上都是刻意创新的主观追求。在他们看来,语言是小说存在的家园,"写小说就是写语言"。20世纪爱尔兰小说大师詹姆斯·乔伊斯的《都柏林人》,是一部兼有短篇小说外在形式和长篇小说主题结构的作品,它在语言上体现了乔伊斯独到的艺术风格。作者采用文本"细读法"(close reading)解读和阐释《都柏林人》,评价和讨论乔伊斯是如何通过巧妙地运用"同现""复现""破格"等语言艺术技巧,来展示小说这种叙事体裁的艺术魅力的。Modernist novelists in the West usually have deliberate intentions to make formal innovations, of which verbal originality and linguistic foregroundings permeate their fictional texts. Therefore, in the eyes of the modernist novelists, language is the very home of fiction and writing fiction means writing language. By employing a closereading approach the present paper aims to offer a textual interpretation of as well as a critical review on Dubliners, the first literary work by James Joyce, a worldfamous 20th century novelist of Ireland. It concludes that language, which plays a significant role in the artistic making of the organic unity of the 15 short stories in Dubliners, has markedly been an indispensable element in the 20th century fiction. Without its verbal uniqueness a novel or a short story would likely undermine its aesthetic values.
