也谈互动语言学研究——兼与郑娟曼商榷

On Interactional Linguistics:A Response to Zheng Juanman

近年来,互动语言学已成为国内颇受瞩目的一种语言学理论。它根植于会话分析研究,与会话分析有着最直接、最紧密且难以剥离的关系。遗憾的是,许多研究者对互动语言学没有全面的认识和正确的掌握,从而不能正确开展实证研究。为了呈现互动语言学的真实面貌、推进互动语言学研究的科学开展,本文首先介绍了互动语言学的学科基础、研究目的、研究工具等内容,然后以《从互动交际看“好吧”的妥协回应功能》一文为例,指出该研究中存在的部分问题,以展示互动语言学视角下实证研究的正确做法,并提倡同行严格遵守互动语言学的学科规训,开展客观、科学、有说服力的实证研究。

Interactional linguistics(IL),a research methodology in linguistics,has attracted a significant amount of attention in China in recent years.As a conversation analysis(CA)-informed research methodology,IL is closely aligned with and is directly related to CA.This paper first introduces the theoretical foundations,the research objectives,and the research procedures in IL,and then takes On the Functions of Compromising Response via Haoba-Towards an Interactional Linguistic Approach by Zheng Juanman(2018)as an example to reveal some of the problems in Zheng's research so as to highlight the necessity of adopting correct ways to conduct empirical research based on the IL framework.We hope that our fellow researchers will strictly adhere to the principles of IL,master the correct research methods of IL,and conduct objective,scientific and convincing IL empirical research.
