论夸张策略的顺应性

On Adaptation of Hyperbole as a Pragmatic Strategy

夸张的实施是一个为顺应不同语境参量而对语言进行有意识、有目的的调控与策划的过程,具有强元语用意识特征和动态商洽性。该过程表现为交际者对物理维度参量有意图的操控,即做出显著地偏离事物真实状态的语言选择,以此来顺应社交维度和心理维度的参量,因而生成两类不同的语用功能。此外,夸张表达会随使用频率的提高而逐渐被规约化。

The choice of hyperbole is a process intentionally and elaborately schemed to adapt to the contextual correlates in different dimensions. With high-level metapragmatie awareness and dynamic negotiability as its essential features, this process is centered on the deliberate manipulation of the relevant correlates in the physical dimension, viz. to choose linguistic items saliently deviating from the state of affairs in the real world with the intent to highlight the interadaption to the contextu- al correlates in the mental or social world. Furthermore, owing to their high-frequency usages, the hyperbolic expressions might be gradually conventionalized.
