本文以「漢語十四行詩」為研究主題。儘管漢語十四行詩的歷史至今約莫一個世紀，關於它的研究仍相當有限。漢語十四行詩移轉自西方十四行詩（sonnet），隨現代漢詩語言與詩體、規則的成熟，分屬兩岸的十四行詩都逐漸走出了不同的書寫道路。不過，我們同時發現，漢語十四行詩的定義並未隨十四行詩的創新而更新其涵蓋的內容與意義，許多具典範意義的漢語十四行詩因此成為遺珠。本文討論幾個十四行詩的重要論題：首先，在中、西方十四行詩體格律的對照下，透過漢語十四行詩文本的觀察、文獻資料的爬梳，試圖重新界定「漢語十四行詩」的範疇。其次，從形式與意義的角度出發，探討漢語十四行詩文本在漢語語境下的生長變化；最後，探論漢語十四行詩在現代漢詩中的美學價值，並藉由此一論題呈顯現代漢詩詩學的一個側面

The thesis focuses on Chinese Sonnets (known as Shang Lai). Although the text has existed for around one century, studies for Chinese Sonnet are still insufficient. Chinese Sonnets originated from the Western Sonnets. Chinese Sonnet in China and Taiwan has gradually developed into different styles, along with the maturity of languages and rules in Modern Chinese poetry. The content and meaning of Chinese Sonnet, however, is not redefined, along with the renewal of Chinese Sonnet. Therefore, we have little understanding of many classic texts. In this thesis, we research important issues on the Chinese Sonnets. First, through careful observation, examination, and referencing materials of Chinese sonnet texts, we re-define ＂chinese sonnet＂ category by analyzing and contrasting between the Western and Chinese sonnets. Second, we explore the development and variations of these texts under Chinese context. Finally, we discuss the aesthetic value of the Chinese sonnet in Modern Chinese poetry
