偏离式连贯、连贯与误解

Diverging Coherence, Coherence and Misunderstanding

连贯与否就是看话语之间是否有关联或语义联系,而误解与否取决于话语之间的语义联系是否为说话人意欲表达的语义联系。其次,话语中出现的偏离式连贯尽管使得话语之间保持语义联系,但非说话人意欲表达的语义联系,误解不可避免。因此,如果偏离式连贯被认可为连贯,那么话语连贯不能保证误解不发生。

The paper aims at exploring the relationship between coherence and misunderstanding. Firstly, coherence is determined by whether there are semantic relations in discourse while the occurrence of misunderstanding depends on whether semantic relations are intended by speakers. Secondly, when semantic relations in the discourse achieved by diverging coherence are not intended by speakers, misunderstanding is inevitable. Therefore, discourse coherence cannot ensure no misunderstanding if diverging coherence is considered as one form of coherence.
