语用推理:逻辑的经验转向

Pragmatic Inference: Empirical Turn of Logic

溯因推理在自然语言理解中的应用已从不同的方面受到研究者的关注。溯因推理为G rice理论和关联理论的含意理解研究提供了新的逻辑视角和参照点,G rice会话含意理论中的合作原则和会话准则,以及关联理论中的关联原则皆可视为言语交际中的溯因原则。现代逻辑学上的经验转向为自然语言理解中的含意推导注入了新的活力。

Abductive inference has attracted great attention from different paradigms in natural language understanding. With special reference to the inference of implieature in Grieean theory and relevance theory, this paper demonstrates that the pragmatic principles are just special constraining principles of abduction in verbal communication. The so-called empirical turn in modern logic has laid a solid foundation for pragmatic reasoning.
