明末孟稱舜戲曲評點之「韻」意探索

The Research of Rhyme of Drama Commentary from Meng Chengshun in the Ming Dynasty

本論文主要藉由明末孟稱舜《古今名劇合選》之評點內容，論列其中以「韻」為主之批語，探究其運用之原委及其表現意函。論文首歸納批語提出韻意用途，筆者認為，孟氏使用此語彙，不但兼及音律表現，還涵蓋造語技巧的描述。此外，此批語乃藉由觀察雜劇作品（尤其是元代雜劇）逐步發掘戲曲敘事特質，一方面從音韻體察到唱詞人物「聲口」變化，釐清性格、情感展現之殊異，進而增益戲曲人物塑造技巧；二方面也從韻語提出，觀察抒情語境的營造，明瞭戲曲情節在運作上的推動方式。因此，韻語提出說明理論家雖以傳統詩學方式論列曲作，卻能逐步掌握戲曲創作不同於詩學的敘事技巧，讓傳奇創作不受改朝換代的影響，持續在清.康熙年間走向另一波傳奇創作的高峰。
