委婉语作为一种深入人们日常生活的语言表达方式,是人类语言中的一种普遍现象,是语言使用过程中人们协调人际关系,达成和谐且有效沟通的重要手段,在医患对话中发挥着重要作用。医患对话中委婉语的使用有助于缓解医患关系,促进患者的治疗,减少医患纠纷的产生。本文将应用多模态话语理论,以韩剧《机智的医生生活》第一季中的医患对话内容为语料进行实例分析,试图通过对医患对话中委婉语的多模态分析,探究委婉语如何在实际的医患交际中发挥作用,探析多模态话语分析进入多学科领域的必要性。As a kind of language expression that penetrates into people’s daily life, euphemism is a common phenomenon in human language, and is an important means for people to coordinate interpersonal relationships and achieve harmonious and effective communication in the process of language use, which plays an important role in doctor-patient dialogues. The use of euphemisms in doctor-patient dialogues can help alleviate the doctor-patient relationship, promote the treatment of patients, and reduce the generation of doctor-patient disputes. This paper will apply the theory of multimodal discourse and take the doctor-patient dialogue in the first season of the Korean drama “Hospital Playlist” as a case study. Through the multimodal analysis of euphemism in doctor-patient dialogue, this paper attempts to explore how euphemism plays a role in the actual doctor-patient communication and explore the necessity of multimodal discourse analysis entering the multidisciplinary field.
