The meaning and method of text close reading, and what aspects should be used to start text close re

Textual perusal is a method of perusing an article. There are mainly several characteristics and steps.

First, it focuses on the reading of the text, second, it emphasizes the influence of context on semantic analysis, and third, it emphasizes the internal organizational structure of the text. It is a better way to refine and repent.

This method is concretely based on semantics, an important school of Western literary theory in the 20th century, which regards the analysis of language as the most basic method and means of literary criticism.

The textual close reading method is an important method and salient feature of semantics to interpret texts. This method of reading still has profound significance today, and it is of great help to the future reading intensive reading correction and close reading to understand the true meaning of the text.

The aspects of the text that should be used for close reading are as follows:

First, it is centered on the text of the confession. Textual close reading emphasizes that the text itself is a self-contained and independent existence, and Brooks argues that literary criticism is the description and evaluation of the work itself. As for the author's true intentions, we can only base it on the work.

Only the intention realized in the work is the true intention of the author.

As for the author's prior assumption of the work and his subsequent recollection of the work, it is not enough to be closed. Textual close reading emphasizes the relationship between the language and thought of the text, and believes that the function and meaning of the language of the text can be reflected in four aspects: meaning, emotion, tone and intention, and if we can accurately grasp these factors of language, we can interpret the meaning of the work.

Second, we should pay attention to the influence of context on semantic analysis. Textual close reading believes that context is important for understanding the deeper meaning of a text's vocabulary. Reichards repeatedly emphasizes that in a text, it is the connection between a word, sentence or paragraph and the context, and it is this connection that determines the specific meaning of a particular word, sentence or paragraph, and even a book has a contextual problem.

Third, emphasize the internal organizational structure of the text. Textual close reading also focuses textual interpretation on the internal organizational structure of the text. According to Welker, the study of literary context, environment, and external factors can never solve the problems of described, analyzed, and evaluated the object of the work.

He emphasized that the work is a symbolic structure that implies and requires meaning and value, and advocated that the main object of interpretation should be the work with such a symbolic structure.

From the perspective of origins, the above introduces what is meant by "textual close reading", and it should be particularly pointed out that this is a kind of textual close reading in the context of literary criticism. Shape Ming.

Textual close reading originates from semantics, an important school in Western literary theory in the 20th century, which regards semantic analysis as the most basic method and means of literary criticism, and its Chinese close reading is an important method and distinctive feature of semantic interpretation of texts. Textual interpretation is a generalized approach, and in fact, there is no such thing as an abstract and universal method of interpreting textual interpretation. Textual interpretations are always concrete and empirical, such as stylistic interpretation, sociological interpretation, cultural interpretation, and aesthetic interpretation.

Basic characteristics of text closeness:

1. Text-centric.

2. Pay attention to the influence of context on semantic analysis.

3. Emphasize the internal organizational structure of the text.

Basic characteristics of the text of fine macro reading:

2. Pay attention to the influence of context on semantic analysis.

3. Emphasize the internal organizational structure of the text.

This theoretical approach to text close reading was first developed in the twentieth century.

This theoretical method was put forward by the Anglo-American New Criticism in the twenties and thirties, and supplemented by subsequent scholars.

The New Criticism theorist Collins Brooks first mentioned the concept of "textual close reading" in his book The Delicate Urn. The New Criticism emphasizes the importance of close reading of texts, emphasizing text-centeredness, focusing on the internal organizational structure of texts, and attaching importance to the influence of context on semantic analysis.

In the context of New Criticism, close reading of texts is a method of studying works. This research method refers to the delicate and true perception, interpretation and analysis of literary texts based on the literary concept of the receiving subject.

The close reading of texts under the New Criticism requires a detailed structural and semantic analysis of a work, even a very short lyric poem, to the exclusion of other factors outside the text. Some scholars have clearly pointed out that one is to understand close reading as closed reading, that is, to close literary criticism in the text, to exclude the study of writers, the world and readers, and the other is to understand close reading as putting a literary work under a microscope for careful and meticulous examination, or wearing a wide magnifying glass for jewelers to scrutinize repeatedly, or squeezing the meaning of words in a text like squeezing lemon juice. Squeeze out every drop of meaning of the words as much as possible.

In this regard, Brooks has made an in-depth and detailed study of "close reading", and he pointed out that close reading is full reading, that is, when reading a literary work, respect the text, start from the details, and study the language and structure of the literary work, so that the reader can read the tension in the work.

Therefore, the close reading of texts under the New Critical Theory is not a close reading or repeated reading of each sentence in the traditional sense, but an internal study of literary texts based on the text.
