“才”重读与非重读时语义、语用功能差异

On the Differences in Semantic and Pragmatic Functions Occurring When Cai Is Stressed and Unstressed

"语义指向分析法"考察副词的语义、语用功能时,除了副词自身成为语义焦点外,句中其他成分成为语义焦点时的情况,一般来说都会被分析到。可是副词自身负载焦点重音,成为语义焦点时的语义、语用功能状况,及其与句中其他成分负载焦点重音,成为语义焦点时的语义、语用功能差异,却被忽视了。该文运用焦点关联理论考察了副词"才"的语义、语用功能状况,发现某些副词,如"才",在自身成为语义焦点时,与句中其他成分成为语义焦点时,其语义、语用功能存在着明显的差异。这也给了我们一个方法论上的提示:焦点关联理论似乎可以帮助我们更加全面地描写某些副词的语义、语用功能。

With semantic orientation analysis describing semantic and pragmatic functions of adverbs, generally these cases will be taken into account when other constituents except adverb itself being semantic focus of the sentence. Yet the differences in the semantic and pragmatic functions of adverbs are neglected between the situation of adverbs being stressed and being semantic focus and that of adverbs not being stressed and other constituents being the semantic focus. After an investigation of semantic and pragmatic functions of CAI with focus-associating theory,this paper shows that when an adverb is semantic focus its semantic and pragmatic functions are different from that when other constituents are semantic focuses.
