摘要《哈克贝利•费恩历险记》是美国作家马克•吐温的伟大代表作。这部小说充分展现了美国当时的现实生活,也充分体现了马克•吐温的艺术风格，被视为美国文学史上具有划时代意义的现实主义杰作。自从1884年首次出版至今, 已经有许多相关的研究成果从各种不同的角度(如:现实主义、存在主义、种族主义和心理小说等层面)对它进行了解读，但是很少有文章讨论它所体现的美国精神。长期以来人们对它作为成长小说的研究,大多沿用其他文学理论的路径切入作品。主要是从小说的文化背景、人物性格、种族主义、南方的奴隶制、作家思想及生活背景等方面分析，忽略了小说语言蕴涵的美国精神。本文旨在分析作者如何通过语言技巧体现美国精神，使读者从新的角度更好地理解这部小说。22362

Title Americanism in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Abstract
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a masterpiece by American writer Mark Twain, not only shows the reality of the United States, also fully embodies the art of Mark Twain’s writing style, which is seen as an epoch-making masterpiece of realism in American literary history. Since it was first published in 1884, so far, there have been many studies from various different angles (such as: realism, existentialism, racism and psychological novel dimensions) to interpret it, but there have been very few articles discussing its Americanism. For a long time, scholars studied it as a bildungsroman, largely following the path of other literary theory to cut into the work, mainly from the cultural background, character, racism, slavery in the South, writers’ ideas and life background analysis, but they ignored the Americanism implicated in the novel’s language. This paper aims to analyze the Americanism in the work mainly from the perspective of language, making the reader get a better understanding of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from a new angle.

1.1 Research Background and Purpose
As is known to all, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which was written by a famous American writer Mark Twain is still a classic in American literature nowadays. Huckleberry Finn, the protagonist of the story, is an intelligent, kind, and brave white boy. He flees to the Mississippi River in pursuit of freedom. On the fugitive way, he meets a slave named Jim who is industrious, simple, warm, honest, and loyal. In order to escape the fate of being sold again by his owner, he runs away from home. The two boys experience a variety of adventures. The innovations in the novel vary from languages, thoughts to techniques. The novel praises the boy Huckleberry for his tact and kindness, and condemns the hypocrisy of religion and the foolishness of religious believers. At the same time, the novel also creates a slave with great dignity.
This paper explores Americanism in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of language. The significance and value of the thesis lie in its study of Americanism, which is a representative of the excellent quality and noble spirit of humanity, which is the essence of humanity beyond nationality, race, and ideology. 《哈克贝利费恩历险记》中的美国精神:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_14967.html
