对于长篇小说的篇幅,有将6万字视为“长篇”的,有将15万字视为“中篇”的;也有人认为,“字数和形式不是长篇小说最主要的条件”。而“长篇小说”是对小说文本篇幅的判断,只有在认可了小说的篇幅达到了长篇小说的标准之后,才能对小说进行审美的判断。至于多少字的小说才能称得上“长篇小说”,作者认为,10万字是一个比较适中的下限篇幅。 For the length of the novel, there are 60,000 words as “long”, there are 150,000 words as “medium”; some people think that “the number of words and forms is not the most important condition of the novel.” However, “novels” are the judgment of the length of the novel’s text. Only after the length of the novel is approved to reach the standard of novels can the novel make an aesthetic judgment. As for how many words of novels can be called “novels”, the author believes that 100000 words is a more appropriate minimum length.
