认知参照点与语用预设

The Cognitive Reference Point and Pragmatic Presuppositions

认知参照点现象在日常经验中非常基本和独特,但在很多情况下还没有被觉察到。认知参照点是人类一种基本的认知能力。我们认为,这个原则对语用预设具有较强的解释力。本文以认知语言学的理论为指导,尝试性地对语用预设在认知语境中的特征和理解进行研究,从新的角度诠释预设的功能、特征等,为预设的研究提供新视角。在具体语境中,语用预设是动态的、变化的,甚至是不确定的,但只要我们抓住认知参照点,语用预设的理解就简单了。认知参照点是我们对语用预设进行多角度、多学科研究的又一次尝试。

This paper discusses the motivations of pragmatic presuppositions from the perspective of cognitive linguistics. It＇ s a fact that cognitive reference point is so essential in our everyday experiences that in most cases we cannot perceive it. Although presupposition is dynamic,uncertain and changeable, it is easily understood if the reference point is grasped in a concrete context. Therefore, this paper claims that cognitive reference point can provide a new perspective for the study of pragmatic presupposition.
