摘要
言语交际中,why 有时不直接构成话语的命题内容,所起的作用是对会话等互动性言语进行调节和管理。本文借助有关语料,重点探讨它在会话互动中的语用功能。我们认为在不同的语境条件下它至少有以下五种语用功能:(1)话语起始标记;(2)话语轮换标记;(3)信息短缺标记;(4)话语缓和标记;(5)话语明示标记。对它的研究有助于我们进一步揭示话语交际的奥秘。
In verbal communication,sometimes why is found not to contribute to the propositional content of the utterances to which it is attached,instead it is an adaptive device helping to manage and maintain the on -going interaction.With the help of the collected data in English,we lay stress upon its pragmatic functions in verbal interaction.We think why can at least act re- spectively as speech initiator,turn-taking marker,insufficiency marker,mitigator of face-threatening acts as well as ostensive marker.The study on why might help to reveal the mystery of verbal interaction.
