关联理论框架下女性模糊语的语用研究 ——以《绝望的主妇》为例

论文摘要

模糊性是人类自然语言的本质特性之一,它在人际交往中普遍存在而且不可避免。30多年来,我国的模糊语言研究主要是集中于对模糊语义的探讨,而这篇论文的目的主要是对女性模糊语在关联理论框架下进行语用研究。本文重点并非对单个的模糊词语的静态研究,而是在日常交际中的女性模糊语的动态研究,这就需要联系关联理论在交际中对女性模糊语进行研究分析。作者尝试从四方面进行分析：1)关联理论的交际观和语境观对女性模糊语的解释力；2)女性模糊语在日常交际中应遵循的关联原则；3)关联理论中的明示推理对女性模糊语使用的影响；4)以关联理论为基础的女性模糊语的语用功能。本论文中语料来自英美流行电视剧《绝望主妇》中的台词片断,运用定性和定量的方法来对女性模糊语在关联理论下的语用研究,作者发现模糊语的应用有效保证了女性交际的进行,并且语用功能多是积极意义的。
