言语行为理论与会话含义理论的哲学之维

Philosophical Dimension of Speech Act Theory and Conversational Implicature

语用学的诞生和发展与日常语言哲学有着密切的关系。作为语用学的两大奠基理论,言语行为理论和会话含义理论皆源于日常语言哲学。言语行为理论试图通过研究具体的言语行为来考察语言与外部世界的关系,从而澄清或排除哲学混乱。会话含义理论则通过对语言的哲学思辨,寻求人的理性本质以及以理性为核心的哲学研究方法。无论是言语行为理论还是会话含义理论都是把语言视为一种分析工具,都是为解决哲学问题而发展的理论。

The development of pragmatics is closely related to ordinary - language philosophy. As two basic theories of pragmatics, both speech act theory and conversational implicature derive from ordinary - language philosophy. In order to clarify some philosophy chaos, speech act theory attempts to investigate the relation speech acts. With philosophical treatment between language and world by studying specific of language, conversational implicature attempts to search for rationality in human beings and the philosophical research method based on rationality. Both the two theories consider language as analytical tools and aim at solving philosophical problems.
