引号的会话含义

A Study of the Implicature of Quotation Marks

引号的用法非常丰富,已有不少学者对其进行了分类和研究,但多为描述性的分析,很少从理论上给予阐述,且分类也不尽合理。本文以Martin等人的评价理论为依据对引号的用法进行了重新分类,并以Grice的非自然意义理论和会话含义理论为根据,对引号的含义进行探讨,以帮助人们更好地理解和使用引号。

Quotation marks have plenty of uses, of which many scholars have made classifications and studies. Most of the studies hitherto are, however, descriptive analyses ; few of them are on theoretical bases, and the classifications are not all reasonable. The present paper attempts to re-classify the uses of quotation marks on the basis of Martin et al＇ s appraisal theory and probe into the implicature of quotation marks based on Grice＇ s theories of non-natural meaning and conversational implicature, so as to secure a better under-standing and use of quotation marks.
