《礼貌与模因:语用哲学思考》评介

A Book Review on Politeness and Memes

国内外关于"礼貌"概念的研究近三十年来主要是在语用学和社会语言学的理论框架下进行的,很少从哲学角度溯源。谢朝群博士在《礼貌与模因:语用哲学思考》一书中将礼貌纳入了语用哲学的研究范围,并将礼貌与模因看似毫无相关的两个因素作为研究对象,继而上升到语用哲学的高度,这既是对礼貌研究的进一步拓展,也是对语用学研究的一大贡献。

The study of politeness has been in progress with the guidance of pragmatics and sociolinguistics both at home and a -broad in the past over thirty years .Though it is rare to trace it to the philosophy , Doctor Xie Chaoqun studies politeness from the perspective of pragmatic philosophy .In this book, he combines politeness and memes , which seem as if has nothing to do with each other, and furthers the exploration deep into the philosophy .This indeed has improved the study of politeness and contributed a lot to the pragmatics .
