关联理论视角下双语词典词条信息的传递与加工

Transmission and Processing of Bilingual Dictionary Entry Information from the Perspective of Relevance Theory

文章从"用户在加工双语词典词条信息时调取某些信息而忽略其他信息的标准是什么"这一问题出发,抽离出用户和编者两大词典活动主体,以"交际词典学"和"认知词典学"的理论为依据,将词典交际纳入到关联理论"明示-推理"交际的框架下,进而分析编者编辑词条的明示过程和用户加工词条的推理过程,从而为最初提出的问题提供了解释,即用户在使用双语词典的过程中选择调取的词条信息都是能够达到语境效果、具有关联的信息。

Starting from the question “What is the dictionary user’s standard to select or ignore certain information in processing bilingual dictionary entries?”, this article focuses on two major dictionary compilation entities: the user and editor. Based on the theories of cognitive lexicography and “the dictionary as communication”, it integrates the communication theory of dictionaries into the framework of u ostension-inferenceof the Relevance theory and then analyzes the ostensive process of the editor and the inferential process of the user. It argues that what the user selects in using a bilingual dictionary is information that has contextual effects and relevance.
