This essay honors the work of Joel Sherzer by using his discourse-centered approach to language and culture as a way to investigate the place of speech play and verbal art in concerns with interpretative frameworks. An ethnographic and linguistic analysis of a brief poem by Navajo poet Rex Lee Jim is then presented as an example of such an approach. Sherzer’s concern with ambiguity is highlighted as a way to contrast a discourse-centered approach with Perspectivism. [Navajo, discourse-centered approach, ethnopoetics, ambiguity, poetry]

（民族）诗学与透视主义：论歧义的象形文字之美

本文向乔尔·谢尔 (Joel Sherzer) 的工作致敬，他使用他以话语为中心的语言和文化方法，以此来研究与解释框架相关的言语游戏和语言艺术的位置。纳瓦霍诗人雷克斯·李·吉姆 (Rex Lee Jim) 的一首短诗的民族志和语言学分析作为这种方法的一个例子。Sherzer 对歧义的关注被强调为一种将以话语为中心的方法与透视主义进行对比的方式。[纳瓦霍语、以话语为中心的方法、民族诗学、歧义、诗歌]
