“就是说”所标示的A、B之间的语义关系及语用特点

Semantic Relation and Pragmatic Features between A and B Implied by "That Is to Say"

"就是说"作为话语单位之间的连接成分,它所标示的前行句A和后续句B之间具有解释与被解释、抽象与具体、深奥与浅显、补充与被补充、强调与被强调、限制与被限制、概括与被概括、前提与结论等关系。通过对"就是说"与其相关的"这/也就是说"之间的语用特点进行比较后,发现"就是说"主要起表程序性的语法作用,具有强烈的肯定意味。

As a conjunctive constituent between the discourse units, ＂That Is to Say＂（就是说） implies the semantic relation of interpreting and being interpreted, abstract and concrete, profound and simple, complementing and being complemented, emphasizing and being emphasized, restricting and being restricted, summarizing and being summarized, precondition and conclusion ete. between previous sentence A and the following sentence B. Comparing pragmatic features between ＂就是说＂ and its associated ＂这/那也就是说＂ we found ＂说＂ in ＂就是说＂ has the main procedural role of grammar, and a strong affirmation.
