反语的复现性——论认知语用学的反语观

On the Echoism of the Irony——A Perspective of the Cognitive Progmatics

本文从反语的复现性视角探讨了认知语用学的反语观,并将之与古典修辞语义学和Grice的会话含义理论的反语观作了对比分析,指出视反语为对非说话人的思想的复现和二级释解的认知语用学理论较有说服力地阐释了反语的本质特征和语用机制,弥补了传统语义学和语用学的反语现的不足。

This paper makes a survey of the cognitive pragmatic theory of irony from the perspective of its echoism and gives an analysis of the interpretations of irony given respectively by the classical rhetorical semantics and Grice's theory of conversational implicature and by the cognitive pragmatics. It points out that the irony-related cognitive pragmatic theory, which regards irony as an echo or two-degree interpretations of the thought of someone other than the speaker, has persuasively interpreted the essence and pragmatic mechanism of irony and compensated for the inadequacies of traditional semantic and pragmatic theories of irony.
