从关联理论看听力理解

On listening Comprehension Under th e Framework of the Relevance Theory

听力不只是一种接受行为,它也包括心理和认知过程。听力理解过程是听者和说话人互动的过程。听力理解的最终目的是要获得话语的隐含意义。而Sperber和Wilson提出的关联理论将认知和语用结合起来,解释了话语的理解过程,显示出较强的解释力。本文试图在关联理论框架下探讨听力过程中如何获得话语的正确理解。

Listening is not simply a receptive a ct,it involves psychological and co gnitive processes simultaneously.The in-teraction between a listener and a sp eaker is engaged in listening compre hension.A listener aims at obtainin g the implicated meanings of utterances.Combining s everal disciplines such as pragmati cs and cognition in the interpretati on of utterances,the Relevance Theory proposed by Sperber &Wilson has shown its strong explan atory power.This article tries to sh ow how a listener interpretes utterances during the p rocess of listening within the frame work of the Relevance Theory.
