摘 要
虽然戏剧很早就已是文学的一部分，但文体学家对其的关注远不如诗歌，小说等其他文学体裁。直到19世纪八十年代末期和90年代早期，戏剧文体学，才最终成为文体研究的一个不可缺少的部分。
本论文试图对戏剧如何通过舞台指令与对话的相互作用来表达既定的意义作初步研究，从而帮助读者更深入地了解意义。在解释舞台指令与对话关系时，本文借鉴了一些多模态话语分析的想法，主要是曲卫国[12]提出的三种图片对文本的解释模式。希望本文将有利于中国学术界进一步作这方面的研究。
本文的基本内容包括四个部分：（一）戏剧文体学的综述；（二）戏剧舞台指令和对话的关系（三）实证分析---以《推销员之死》为例。（四）得出结论，阐明本文的局限性以及未来研究的方向。
关键词：舞台指令；戏剧对话；关系
ABSTRACT
Even though drama has long been part of literature, it did not receive as much attention from stylisticians as the other literary genres, such as poetry and fiction. It was not until the late 1980s and early 1990s that drama stylistics, that is, the stylistic study of dramatic text, finally established itself as an indispensable component of the study of style.
My thesis attempts to make a tentative study on how stage directions interact with dialogues in drama in expressing the intended meaning, thus helping the readers understand the meaning more thoroughly. In explaining the relation between stage directions and dialogues in drama, some ideas originated from multimodal discourse analysis, namely the three modes for the photographic mode to signal the point of view of a text proposed by Qu Weiguo[12] , are borrowed. It is hoped that the preliminary study will be helpful for Chinese academia to conduct further researches in this respect.
The main contents fall into four parts: 1.literature review of drama stylistics; 2. relations between stage directions and dialogues in drama; 3.the demonstration analysis on examples from Death of a Salesman；4. the conclusion, limitations of the present thesis and direction for further studies.
Keywords：stage direction; dialogue in drama; relation
