英语民族与云南少数民族语用习惯差异

On the Pragmatic Differences between the English and the Minorities in Yunnan

语用学是20世纪70年代兴起的一门独立学科,它越来越受到语言学界的关注。语用学主要研究在特定情景中的特殊话语以及在不同的语言交际环境下如何理解和运用语言。从语用学相关理论的角度,通过对英语和部分少数民族语言的表达习惯比较,可以进一步展示中西方民族文化的差异,从而提高语言学习者的目的语文化意识,更好地实现跨文化交际目的。

Pragmatics as a discipline emerged in the 1970s and since then it has aroused an increasing interest from linguists. Pragmatics centers on the specific discourse under specific situations and the understanding and application of language under different environments. From the perspective of some relevant pragmatic theories, the author gives a comparison of the expressions in English and in some minority languages and reveals the differences between West culture and Chinese minority cultures, which, the author hopes, will help the learners enhance the awareness of the target - language culture and realize a better cross - cultural communication.
