摘要
"语境敏感"方案引进"索引性"、"语境"这些重要概念,开辟了从语用学的角度研究语义悖论的道路。伯奇把真值谓词视为具有单一意义而非固定外延,即外延为其使用语境函项的索引词,并且从哲学说明和形式刻画两方面对"强化的说谎者"悖论的直观分析进行了解释。不过,伯奇的真正目的并不只是为了避免悖论,而是想抓住自然语言中语义赋值的可导性特征。
In T. Burge's theory, he introduced some important concepts such as'indexicality'and'context'. In his idea, there is a single truth predicate with nonconstant extensions. And different applications of'true' will yield different extensions for the indexical predicate. So this theory pioneered the way of resolving the semantic paradox in pragmatics. In his 'Semantical Paradox', the most important notion of indexicality was explicated from two viewpoints, structural and material. Last, Burge's objective is not only to avoid contradiction, but also to capture the derivative feature of semantical evaluation in natural discourse.
