论语言字符的语用功能

Analysis of the Pragmatic Functions of Semiotic Symbols

任何语言都是由形、音、义三维要素组成的一套符号系统,其中词义是信息的主要载体,但语音和语言字符一旦由静态的存在进入动态的交际过程中,也会由特定的组合或排列而产生特定的语用意义。一般来说,语言字符具有四种语用功能,即审美愉悦功能、信息压缩功能、文化承载功能和语用交际功能。

Language is generally made up of three interrelated elements, i.e. the semiotic symbols, the speech sound and the semantic meaning. Word's meanings are the major carrier of message, but the semiotic symbols and the speech sound of words will generate a specific pragmatic meaning once they are used in dynamic communication. The author tries to analyze the four relevant pragmatic functions of semiotic symbols in interaction,i.e.the aesthetic amusement, informative condensation, cultural-loading and pragmatic communication.
