從「無题」詩淺探李商隐詩詞彙運用現象

Abstract

Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poems are notable for their unique artistic achievements in the Late Tang poetry scene, characterized by an obscure and lavish style that both fascinates and confounds readers. This article explores the vocabulary features and usage phenomena in Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poems from a lexical stylistics perspective, identifying several main characteristics: Firstly, the use of reduplication forms is abundant, enhancing the musicality and rhythm of the poems while emphasizing emotional content. Examples include the phrases “细细长” (fine and long) and the reduplication of “钗” (hairpin). Secondly, Li Shangyin frequently uses proper nouns and numerals, adding cultural depth and enhancing expressiveness. Nearly twenty proper nouns and numerous numerals appear in "Untitled," making the poems more vibrant. He skillfully uses numerals for exaggeration and rhetoric.Additionally, Li Shangyin’s disassembly and rewriting of idioms and compound words create new linguistic forms, enhancing expressiveness. For instance, “凤尾香罗” (phoenix tail fragrant gauze) and “锦长书郑重” (lengthy brocade letter solemn) showcase this technique. Moreover, repetitive forms emphasize meaning and emotion, such as the repeated “昨夜” (last night) in “昨夜星辰昨夜风” (last night’s stars, last night’s wind) and “难” (difficult) in “相见时难别亦难” (meeting is hard, parting is also hard). In summary, Li Shangyin's "Untitled" poems occupy an important place in the Late Tang poetry scene due to their unique vocabulary usage and artistic style. These features elevate the artistic expression of his poems and provide valuable insights for subsequent poetic creations.
