关联理论与语用推理

Pragmatic Inference in Relevance Theory

关联理论认为,语言交际是一个示意--推理的认知过程,认知的实现在于它本身所体现出来的关联性。因此,关联理论框架下的言语交际活动是一个有目的、由说话人示意、听话人推理的动态过程。论文着重分析关联理论对语用推理的解释。

Relevance theory argues that language communication is a cognitive process of ostensive inference, the realization of cognition depends on its own relevance. Therefore, speech activity can be regarded as a dynamic process with a certain purpose, accompanied by both speaker's ostension and hearer s inference. This paper analyzes pragmatic inference in relevance theory.
