话语标记语“Well”和“好吧”语用功能对比研究

A Contrastive Study on the Pragmatic Function ofDiscourse Markers“Well”and“Haoba”

“Well”和“好吧”作为话语标记语在语用功能上的对比研究极具价值。因此,基于BNC和CCL语料库,分析了它们在不同语境下的语用功能:信息短缺标记语、话题转换标记语、面子缓和标记语、情感标记语、修补标记语及思考延缓标记语,并将造成这些差异性原因归结为认知语用约束、思维.方式不同及语境制约。

The paper focuses on the pragmatic functions of the discourse markers“Well”and“Haoba”.With the aid of the data in BNC and CCL,six pragmatic functions are analyzed:information-insufficient markers,turn--shifting markers,mitigation markers,emotion markers,repair markers and contemplation markers.The underlying reasons behind the similarities and differences can be interpreted as the result of pragmatic constraints,cognitive motivation and adaption to specific context.
