复句“合乎事理”辨

On "rationality" of compound sentences

复句表达的意思要合乎事理,不能违背事理。以往的复句研究指出,有许多复句之所以不成立是因为违背了事理。本文在对多种汉语复句作深入的考察后发现,复句所遵循的事理除了一般的事理,还有认识的事理和语用的事理。认识的事理包括回推的事理和类推的事理,语用的事理包括言说的事理和会话的事理。

The inferential meaning expressed by compound sentences should be rational and this paper in accordance with Sweester (1990 & 1996) divides 'rationality' of compound sentences into three kinds,i.e. physical rationality, cognitive rationality, and pragmatic rationality. The emphasis lies on the latter two kinds and the data are all from Mandarin Chinese. While the cognitive rationality includes abductive rationality and analogical rationality, the pragmatic rationality includes speech act rationality and conversational rationality.
