从互动交际看“好吧”的妥协回应功能

On the Functions of Compromising Response via Haoba—Towards an Interactional Linguistic Approach

本文从互动语言学的视角,采用自然口语语料,考察了"好吧"在不同的会话序列中是如何完成妥协回应功能的,其语言形式与它所承担的会话行为之间又是如何交互作用的。我们发现,"好吧"所回应会话行为都包含言者的意外或不如意的信息,这一互动环境塑造了"好吧"的妥协回应功能和建构特征。从交际动因上来看,"好吧"作为一个非合意回应之后的合意回应,具有明示互动双方立场一致的作用。此外,我们从"好吧"的分布规律进一步审视句末语气词"吧"的情态功能,认为引发语中的"吧"表求定,应答语中的"吧"表"迟疑"。

Based on naturally occurring interaction, the present paper draws on interactional linguistic approach to examine how the Chinese expression haoba completes the function of compromising response in conversational sequences and the relationship between its linguistic form and speech functions. The study has revealed that the speech functions of haoba displays mirativity or counter-anticipation from the speaker,and the interactive environment constitutes the functions of compromising reply and constitutional features. From communicative intention,haoba acts as a designed-based preference following an action-based dispreference,demons trating similar stance-taking between speaker and listener. Besides,the paper also explores the distributions of haoba in discourse so as to further examine the modal function of the sentence final particle ba. It is hence argued that ba in initiation turn expresses request,whereas in response turn it expresses hesitation.
