外显义的发展及不可取消性考察

The Study on the Development and Non-Cancellability of Explicature

外显义是后格莱斯语用学理论发展的产物,体现了由语义和语用划分的争论向语用发展的趋势。可取消性是格莱斯提出用来判定会话含义的经典标准,部分学者认为它也可用来检验外显义。从意图的角度考察外显义发现,外显义是语言意义和语境意义组合而成的作为说话者意图表达的一个载体,因而可消除的只是听话者对说话者的意图进行推断的可能意图;而说话者的意图是不可取消的,因此蕴含明确意图的外显义是不能被取消的。

Explicature is one of the most important achieves of Post-Gricean theories, while Cancellability is a classic criteria contributed by Grice, through which conversational implicature is verified. This paper adopts this rule to see if explicature also has cancellability or not. By studying other＇ views, we finds that it is more plausible to test canceUability with intention, and the result shows that the speaker＇s intention is not cancellable, so is explicature.
