框架理论对间接指令的阐释力

Interpretation of Indirect Directives in Light of Frame Theory

间接指令是最有代表性,也最常用的一种间接言语行为。研究它的常见的理论有习语论和推理论,原型理论和言语行为脚本理论也对其有很大的解释力。以Levinson总结的有关"关门"的间接指令表达为材料,在总结以上研究的基础上,用框架理论来进一步探讨间接指令的认知机制,并把框架理论与语用知识和语境结合起来,增强了对间接指令的阐释力。

Directives are the most typical and the most frequently used kind of indirect speech acts.The Idiom Theory and the Inference Theory are often adopted to account for Indirect Directives.The Prototype Theory and Speech Act Scenario can also provide an interpretation to them.The Frame Theory,which,combined with pragmatic knowledge and context,strengthens the constral of Indirect Directives,on the basis of the previous studies and with the indirect expressions concerning ＂Closing the door＂ given by Levinson as stimuli.
