语用失误与跨文化交际中的顺应

Pragmatic Failure and Adaptation in Cross-cultural Communication

语用失误是异文化冲突的常见现象。语际语用失误与语内语用失误是语用失误的两种类型,运用Verschueren的顺应理论可以阐释这两种类型的语用失误产生的根本原因,即都是在跨文化交际过程中,由于言语交际的任何一方对语言与交际语境等因素(诸如语言使用者以及物理、社交、心理世界等)的动态顺应忽视而造成的。

Pragmatic failure always brings about cultural conflicts.It can be classified into interlingual pragmatic failure and intralingual pragmatic failure.Based on Verschueren＇s Adaptation Theory this paper aims to explain the main cause of these two kinds of pragmatic failures and points out that in the course of communication either the utterer or the interpreter fails to adapt language to communicative context（i.e.language users,mental world,social world and physical world）.
