论常规关系及其规约性

A Tentative Perspective on Stereotypical Relation and Its Conventionality

以古典格莱斯含义理论及新格莱斯含义理论对含义的界定和分类为基础,讨论了规约含义和一般含义的异同,批评了含义推导研究中将二者等同的现象。并认为一般含义推导中所依据的常规关系及这种关系的规约性问题应从社会文化及历时的层面来考虑。

This paper is to introduce the origin and nature of conversational implicature in both Classical- and Neo-Gricean Theory . By analyzing the shades of distinctions between the conventional implicature and the generalized implicature, the author tries to focus on and explain the concept of conventionality of stereotypical relation in a cognitive way. And the problem of conventionality should be considered from at least two aspects: socio-cultural elements and the diachrony.
