conversational implicture会话含义
Logic and conversation
H.P.Grice
本文结构
1.文章目的
2.什么是会话含义
3.会话含义的分类
4.合作原则及其四准则
5.违反合作原则的一些表现
6.会话含义举例
7.会话含义特征
8.会话含义理论的缺陷和后续发展
1. 文章目的:通过运用Grice提出的会话原则来分析人们在会话时无法从字面意义理解的句子,使人们之间的交流更顺畅
2. what is implicature
E.g.1 A and B are talking about a mutual friend, C, who is now working in a bank.
A asks : how is C getting on in his job?
B replies : Oh quite well I think; he likes his colleagues, and he hasnt been to prison yet.
对B的回答,A会明白答复里有隐含信息,并且产生多种解析,比如:一是C为人贪婪,对财物的抵抗力差;二是C的朋友都不靠谱,关键时刻会背信弃义,等等。
如果在对话之前对语境有了深入了解,那么就不会产生歧义。
从这里,我们可以看出来,无论B想要表达什么,都绝不会是如他回答的字面意思那么简单。在文字之中所隐含的真正意思,就是我们所要讲的Implicature。所以对会话的分析离不开语境。
E.g.3对句子Harold Wilson is a great man . The British Prime Minister is a great man.的理解
如果人们对背景有了解,就会知道句子指的是同一个人
3 types of implicature
3.1 conventional implicature: the meaning of words used is conventional
E.g.4 : 老刘,你真是说曹操曹操到。
3.2 non-conventional implicature ( 或者叫做conversational implicature)
此类会话看似前后不连贯,实际上它们都紧紧围绕着某个主题。将此类会话与其他类型做一比较,总结出了一些特点,就是cooperative principle
4 Cooperative principle(简称CP)
Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at which it occurs, by the accepted purposes or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.
1 quantity
1.1 make your contribution as informative as is required (for the current purposes of the exchange)
1.2 do not make your contribution more informative than is required
(1.2有歧义:1 认为信息供过于求不违反原则。反驳观点:①信息过多会使听话人无法抓住句子重点;②误以为说话者在传达其他信息。 2 认为此条与后面的be relevant 重复)
2 quality
2.1 do not say what you believe to be false (有人认为这一条不应从属于quality之下,而是一个会话能够顺利进行的前提)
2.2 do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence
3 be relevant :语言要简洁凝练,如何在准则内变换主题
4 manner(不强调谈话内容)
4.1 avoid of obscurity of expression
4.2 avoid ambiguity
4.3 be brief
4.4 be orderly
会话不单单是对语言的理解,从很多角度(aesthetic, social. or moral in character)都存在影响,例如 be polite
