英语贺卡语中的语用前提

On the Pragmatic Presupposition of English Card Greetings

本文以语用学中"前提关系"推论为背景,分析英语贺卡语中言语行为实施的互知性问题,认为语言交际双方在不同时间、不同地点及无声状况下之所以能够成功地实现话语理解是由于语用前提的引导作用.贺卡语是一特定的语言交际形式,其语用前提的共同理解不同于其他语言形式,受非语言因素影响,其可取消性的语用前提特征具有很大的局限性.

This paper is based on the theory of 'Pragmatic Inference' in pragmatics. After analyzing the phenomenon of the mutual knowledge in speech act in English card greetings, it proposes that it is the guiding of presupposition that makes the bilateral communicators successfully reach understanding in respectively different time, different places and silent circumstances. Meanwhile, it also puts forward that the cancellability in card greetings has many limitations because of the distinction from the other linguistic forms in the mutual knowledge of presupposition and the influence of the non verbal factors.
