从关联理论角度探析日语谜语解谜制约条件

The Limitations of the Solution to a Japanese Riddle from the Perspective of Relevance Theory

谜语作为一种普遍的语言现象,也是作谜者有意识通过比喻、双关以及一词多义等语言手段将谜底隐藏于谜面,让解谜者进行推导的一种语言游戏。通过实例分析,从关联理论角度研究发现,在解谜过程中,解谜者的语言知识和认知语境知识制约着解谜。

Riddle is a popular language phenomenon, and also a language game in which the answer is concealed in its conundrum through the use of simile, metaphor, pun and polysemy and other figures of speech, for the riddle solver to derive the solution to the riddle. In light of relevance theory, it is illustrated by various examples that rid- dles are not tailored to specific solvers, therefore, riddle solvers＇ language knowledge, the consonance of conun- drum information and the riddle solvers＇ contextual cognition would influence whether it may finally bring correct an- swers to the riddle.
