从明示——推理看英语句法象似的顺序性语用特征

An Analysis of Pragmatic Features of English Syntactic Iconicity Order in Ostensive-Inferential Model

语言是交际的秘密武器,人们根据不同的语用目的选择不同的句法结构进行编码。句法结构与人的认知有着天然的联系,反映了人对世界的感知,因此具有句法象似性。句法象似包括顺序象似、距离象似和数量象似。根据明示——推理模式,分析句法结构顺序的变化对语用意义的影响,从认知和语用的角度了解人们改变结构顺序的缘由。

Language is the secret arm of communication.People choose different syntactic structures to encode meaning based on different pragmatic purposes.Syntactic structure has a natural relationship with people's mind and it reflects people's experience towards the world.Therefore,the syntactic structure has syntactic iconicity which includes order iconicity,distance iconicity and quantity iconicity.This paper analyzes order iconicity's pragmatic effect based on ostensive-inferential model.It aims to explain why and how people choose different orders to express information from cognitive and pragmatics views.
