言语交际中的语用关联推理

On the Pragma-Relevance Inference in Verbal Communication

就言语交际而言,语码论和推理论是两种具有代表性的信息处理模式或学说,前者认为,交际就是一个信息复制过程,即编码信息和解码信息是等同的;而推理论强调语境对话语理解等信息处理的不可分离性和依赖性,具有较强的解释力。因此,本文就它们在言语交际中信息处理的不同特征进行探讨,运用关联理论,并结合语用推理中关联信息的处理展开讨论。

Code theories treat communication as a duplication of messages： the message encoded is identical ro the message received, while inferential theories treat utterances merely as pieces of evidence about the communicator＇s intentions. The difference has implications for the study of linguistic structures in verbal communication. The present study compares their features, then makes a thorough discussion of context-dependent expressions and their inferences in communication with reference to relevance theory, which finally proves that inferential theories are more explanatory.
