This p aper a ims to d escribe how the paradigm ' Orally S peaking(口述)/
Literally Writing(記述)' is applied into actual discursive practice. As an
alternative paradigm of existing paradigm 'Orally Transmitted'(口碑)/Literally
Recorded'(記錄)', 'Orally Speaking/ Literally Writing' shows performative
characteristics of discourse. It does not only perform its instrumental role, but
more widely determines various psychological, social and historical conditions
of its message. By the way, since 'Orally speaking' and 'Literally Writing'
always appear complexively in all discourses, we can not apply them into
discourses separatively. As both 'Orally speaking' implies 'Literally writing' and
vice versa', all discourses appear as a complex of these two opposite modes.
In order to show how they do, we have to make clear what kind of poetics
is applied into these two modes respectively. Therefore, at first, I propose
the models of oral poetics and literary poetics respectively, and according to
them, I also create an integrative model of poetics by which oral texts that
have to be inevitably written are described. Lastly, I suggest the possibility
of expansion of this paradigm into broad cultural area by showing that it can
be applied into stylistics and rhetorics in general.
