论词语语用意义的交际价值

An Analysis of the Communication Value of Words' Pragmatic Meaning

语用学将词语意义的生成和确立看成是一种社会行为,因而十分关注话语上下文、语境和社会文化等因素,充分注意交际双方在动态的社会交往过程中对词语在会话中含意确立的磋商、推理和建构。因此,词的语用意义常因人因事而异,具有附属性、体验性、不明确性等三大特点,且在言语交际中的表达功能和作用方式各不相同,具有不同的交际价值。

Interpreting the pragmatic meaning of a word in an utterance is a dynamic inferential process; so explaining richness of communicated meaning of a word is regarded as a kind of social action in lexical pragmatics. In understanding an utterance, the hearer takes the concepts encoded by the lexical items as clues to the explicatures and implicatures intended by the speaker. Using the relevance - theoretic comprehension procedure, the hearer follows a path of least effort and starts considering a few highly activated assumptions from the encyclopedic entries of the encoded concepts to use as contextual assumptions in the search for implications. From this dynamic inferential process, we can see that attachment; experlencing and uncertainty are the main characteristics of the pragmatic meaning of a word. Based on the inferential process of interpreting the pragmatic meaning and the characteristics of the pragmatic meaning of a lexical item, this paper gives a detail analysis of the implication of pragmatic meaning of lexical items in communication to display its communication value.
