语用学之会话含义

一位学英语的中国学生同一位刚来自英国的教师之间的对话女教师对中国学生说： “Oh, what beautiful handwriting!” 学生听到表扬，很不好意思，连忙说： “No, no, not at all. You are joking.”
遵守质准则
强调礼貌原则，抛开了质准则
一般情况下，上述合作原则的各条准则在交际中应该遵守。但这并不表明没有违反这些准则的情况。
5.合作原则的遵守与违反格赖斯指出四种可能不遵守上述各条准则的情况：（1）说话人明确指出不遵守合作原则即相关准则 “无可奉告”“我不能再讲太多内容了” （2）说话人可以悄悄地违反一条准则，有些情况下可能会把听话人引入歧途，使听话人误解或上当受骗说谎骗人诈骗
（3）说话人在面临不同准则之间冲突的情况下，可能为了维护一条准则，而不得不违反另一条准则
Yours, etc.
（2）故意违反“量”方面的第二条准则：所说的话不应包含多于需要的信息，以使听话人推导出其含义
2.利用质的原则推导的会话含义（1）故意违反“不要说自知虚假的话”这条次准则，而故意说些不符合事实的话，让听话人推导出会话含义一些使用反语（irony）、隐喻（metaphor）、夸张（hyperbole）等修辞手打表达的话常常属于这种情况。
第三章会话含义与合作原则
一、什么是会话含义
交际中，很多信息不是直接传递的说话人：通过某一话语传递的语用信息并非等于该话语的字面意义或语义组合。听话人：根据相关语境因素进行推理，获取字面意义以外的交际信息to the cinema this evening. B:We’ll have the English exam tomorrow. (2)甲：下午踢球吧乙：上午在换草皮。隐含的非字面信息需要听话人的推理能力不能直接根据话语的字面意义或获取表面信息在言语交际中，类似的字面意义或语义意义以外的隐含信息就是我们要讨论的会话中的含义，即会话含义

从语用学角度看违背合作原则产生的会话含义

从语用学角度看违背合作原则产生的会话含义作者：成艳红来源：《青年文学家》2009年第09期摘要:我们的谈话通常是由一串互相关联的话语组成,否则就不合情理。

谈话的双方至少要抱着合作的态度,向一个共同的方向努力。

由此产生我们常说的合作原则。

当然合作原则并不要求每时每地都遵循。

如果说话人有意违反了合作原则,听话人就要根据当时的语境,越过字面意义,推断出其隐含意义,即会话含义(Conversational Implicature)。

本文主要从四个方面讨论对合作原则的违反如何导致会话含义的产生,并就如何学习和掌握用会话含义理论分析话语、提高语言鉴赏能力提出可行性建议。

关键词: 合作原则会话含义语用学【中图分类号】I045【文献标识码】A 【文章编号】1002-2139(2009)-09-0146-2一、引言根据格赖斯的理论,人们在日常会话中,为了达到交际的目的,总是遵循一套相互合作的基本准则,即合作原则。

合作原则被认为是谈话顺利进行的基础,但这并不意味着人们在交际中就一定恪守这些准则,人们有时会有意无意地违反这些准则。

若无意违反上述准则,则会闹出笑话或引起误解。

若有意违反上述准则,听话者就要根据当时的语境,推断出说话者的隐含意义。

因此,学习和掌握用会话含义理论分析话语,有利于提高语言鉴赏能力。

以下将逐个讨论对格莱斯合作原则四个方面的违背产生的会话含义,以及如何透过表面语言获得深层含义。

二、话语含义与合作原则格赖斯认为合作原则应包括以下四条准则:1.数量准则(Maxim of Quantity):所说的话应包括当前交谈目的所需的信息;所说的话不应超出需要的信息。

2.质量准则(Maxim of Quality):尽可能使自己所说的话是真实的;不要说自知是虚假的话;不要说缺乏足够证据之言。

3.关系准则(Maxim of Relation):说话要有关联,不要说与谈话无关的话。

4.方式准则(Maxim of Manner):避免晦涩;避免歧义;简练;条理清晰。

▪ Grice's work: ▪ he proposed different kinds of
implicatures and used that term as he claimed that 'implication' was not the right word. ▪ He reprinted many of his essays and papers in his valedictory book, Studies in the Way of Words.
▪ Significance: ▪ one of the foundations of the
modern study of pragmatics.

Conversational Implicature
An Overview
1 Significance of the Notion of Implicature 2 Conventional Implicature & Conversational Implicature 3 Grice’s Distinction between Generalized Conversational Implicature and Particularized Conversational Implicature
关于“自然意义”，他举了这样一个例子：
Those spots meant measles (那些斑点意味着麻疹)。
他指出，如果不存在施事者（因而也不涉及施事者的意图），话
语的意义只是“自然地”被理解，那么，这类话语就只表达“自然意义”。
关于“非自然意义”，Grice 认为它具有如下特点：
S发出U，具有非自然意义，当且仅当： (i) S发出U，试图在H那儿引起某种效果Z； (ii) 通过H认可S的意图而使S的愿望不折不扣地实现。 S→说话人 H →听话人
B’s implicature:
Sorry, I don’t know the exact time of the present moment, but I can provide some information from which you may be able to deduce the appropriate time, namely ‘the milkman has come’.
Another example:
A: Can you tell me the time?
B: Well, the milkman has come. B’ semantic and literal meaning: Well, the milkman came at some time prior to the time of speaking .

语用学会话含义的案例分析

中，人们出于种种原因，说话并不总是直截了当、开门见山，而是多采用间接的方式表达自己的想法，并不都严格地遵守合作原则及其相关准则。因此要先介绍一下格莱斯的合作原则及其准则。格莱斯认为，在所有地语言交际中为了达到特定的目标，说话人和听话人之间存在着一种默契，一种双方都应该遵守的原则，他称这种原则为会话的合作原则。
本稿以保镖托尼和钢琴家唐的会话为例，从语用学视角，基于会话含义理论对该影片进行分析。试图通过分析片中两个主要人物在会话过程中对合作原则的违背，对其人物形象、性格特征进行推导并探究该片引发广泛争议的深层原因。

分析
（一）违背质的准则（The maxim of quality): 1）不要说自知是虚假的话； 2）不要说缺乏足够证据的话。质的准则要求说话人必须说正确且有充分依据的话，那么如果说话人言辞虚假或者缺乏充分依据，他就违背了质的准则。一些常见的修辞手法如隐喻（metaphor）、反讽（irony）等都是说话者违反质量准则而产生的效果，使得说话语气强烈犀利或讽刺幽默。

结论
综上所述，本稿通过对影片《绿皮书》中两个主要人物简短的会话分析中可以看到：爵士钢琴家唐是一名受过良好教育却因肤色受到上层社会歧视的黑人，保镖托尼是一个没有多少文化却精明善于打交道、受其他白人歧视的意大利人，因为他们与往日黑人电影题材中反差巨大的形象，以及共同与种族歧视作斗争并最终实现自我认同的故事引发了大众争议，吸引了大量观众。电影《绿皮书》对人物在特定的文化背景中的描写刻画是其斩获奥斯卡多项大奖的重要原因。

语料介绍
会话不仅常见于现实日常生活中，也大量存在于影视作品中。众所周知，“人如对话，言如其人”，通过分析影视人物在会话过程中如何违背合作原则从而产生会话含义的方法，有助于我们分析人物性格特征，推导其人物形象。

Chapter5 Semantics1. Definition1.命名论The naming theoryProposed by the ancient Greek scholar Plato. According to this theory, the linguistic forms or symbols, in other words, the words used in a language are taken to be labels of the objects they stand for, so words are just names or labels for things.(缺点：仅限于名词)2.意念论The conceptualist view Ogden and RichardsIt holds that there is no direct link between a linguistic form and what it refers to; rather, in the interpretation of meaning they are linked through the mediation of concepts in the mind.3.语境论ConceptualismIt’s based on the presumption that one can derive meaning from or reduce meaning to observable contexts. Here are two kinds of context: the situational and the linguistic context.4.行为主义论BehaviorismIt refers to the attempted to define the meaning of a language form as the situation in which the speaker utters it and the response it calls forth in the hearer. This theory somewhat close to conceptualism emphasizes on the psychological response.2. Lexical meaning:Sense: it is concerned with inherent meaning of linguistic form; it is the collection of all features of linguistic form; it is abstract and de-contextualized.Reference: it means the linguistic form refers to the real, physical world.

可见，“睡觉像婴儿一样”这个词组在所作的不同假设中，即不同语境中，含义是不一样的，这也恰反映了会话含义的不确定性。
5 Indeterminacy（不确定性）
This refers to fact that can expression with a single. Meaning can produce different implicatures as the contexts and participants vary
说话人试图传达他的会话含义，而听话人也能理解这些会话含义，这一事实说明，会话含义是可推导的。它们可以根据已知信息被推导出来。
例如：约会后，男方问女方是否喜欢自己：
A：你喜欢我吗？ B：你说呢？
B在回答A的问题是明显违反了质、量和关系准则。但如何结合具体语境，B的含义应该很容易被推导出来。如果当时气氛融合，双方和颜悦色，女方语气温柔甜美，B想表达的一定是肯定的含义。相反，如果当时气氛紧张，双方剑弩张，女方语气怒气冲冲，B想表达的就是否定的含义了。

The Cooperative Principle
• The maxim of quantity: • 1. Make your contribution as informative as required (for the current purpose of the exchange); • 2. Do not make your contribution more informative than required. • The maxim of quality: • 1. Do not say what you believe to be false; • 2. Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence.
The Cooperative Principle
• The maxim of manner: • Be perspicuous, and specifically; • 1. Avoid obscurity; • 2. Avoid ambiguity; • 3. Be brief (avoid unnecessary prolixity); • 4. Be orderly. • The maxim of relation: • Make your contribution relevant.
• Metaphor draws the most attention and interest among the figures of speech from scholars, since: 1. Its long history; 2. Grice: Metaphor can be treated as a special CI (from pramatics to explain metaphor), which is critisized as over simplify the issue and can only provide partial criterior for the illustration of metaphor; 3. It's complexity: the cooperation of semantics, pramatics, and psychology (the psychological basis of metaphor is to establish the assosiation of similarities of two things). e.g. : (Hu, p.165) a. We were on the same boat. b. Freud lived here.

How
is it possible for the speaker and the hearer to understand each other? B means more than what he or she says, but A can understand it or interpret it well in the context. How does this happen? How does the hearer get from what is said to what is meant, from the level of expressed meaning to the level of implied meaning.

Grice (1975) published an article "Logic and conversation" which raises the question how it is possible for a theory to deal with the fact that natural language utterances do not convey the same meaning that the corresponding logical proposition would. He made an attempt to offer a solution: The philosopher's assumption that natural language expressions diverge from the formal devices of the logicians is wrong. In other words, natural language expressions cannot be fully explained by formal logic.

语用学The Theory of Conversational Implicature

Conversational Implicatures
• A conversational implicature is an inference from the semantic content depending on context, speaker's intention, hearer's attitude and the mutual['mjuːtʃʊəl] assumption共同假设. • Grice's Theory of Conversational Implicature (1967) is "one of the single most important ideas in pragmatics" (Levinson, 1983)
Cancellability (可撤消性): If the linguistic or situational contexts changes, the implicature will also change. A: Do you want some coffee? B: Coffee would keep me awake. (I do not like coffee.) B: Coffee would keep me awake. I want to stay up.
• 2) The Cooperative Principle
• to explain the mechanisms(['mek(ə)nɪz(ə)m]机制,原理) by which people interpret conversational implicature or to explain why people often mean more than what they say, Grice (1975) proposed the Cooperative Principle and introduced four conversational maxims • The general principle • Both the speaker and the hearer try to be cooperative in the ongoing communicative exchange according to certain purposes. • a rational (合理的；理性的) speaker in normal cases will follow this general principle

特征

Cancellability / Defeasibility 可消除性：比如三个孩子可达到某一标准（我有…其实还不止三个…） Undetachability 不可分离性： “他见钱眼开” “他视财如命” “他简直节约到家了” “He’s a nice man.” “What a man!” “Such a nice man he is.” （在特定语境中的含意不变。） Inferability / Caculability 可推导性：黑桃差不多全了。（黑桃没全。循合作原则推导） Did you finish that report? I started it (I didn’t finish the report.) Indeterminacy 不确定性 A: What do you think of Peter? B: He is a machine. ( hard-working, indifferent, precise about what he does etc.)
规约含意：语义层面的含意
个别词语和表达是否具有“含意”的属性？肯定的回答引申出规约含意（conventional implicature）的概念。特点为：不可消除可分离（与词语有约定俗成的联系）不可推导（不需合作原则的帮助进行推导） 22. She is poor but honest. （“对照”意不可消除）？She is poor but honest, and there is no contrast between those two facts. 23. 东边日出西边雨。（有晴/情无晴/情）南部有雨，北部晴天。（含意分离） 24. 您是我的先生。（社会地位高） 25. 这个问题连校长都解决不了。（似无须语境推导）

Conversational Implicature 会话含义
Definition
• In 1967, American philosopher Grice put forward the Cooperative Principle: “Make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged” (Hu, 2001, p. 282-283).
3. The speaker confronts a kind of conflict (usually between 2Q), so s/he has to violate one principle in order to obey the other: (He Zhaoxiong, p.157)

2. conversational implicature会话含义

There is a distinction between what is said and what is implicated

The theory of conversational implicature is the second major theory in pragmatics. Herbert Paul Grice began to formulate his ideas of this theory in the fifties. He delivered lectures -- the William James Lectures at Harvard in 1967. Part of the lectures – ―Logic and Conversation‖ was published in 1975.
4 possible situations where CP can be violated

quietly and unostentatiously violate CP (most likely to mislead)

opt out (e.g. I can’t say more. My lips are sealed.) face a dilemma (e.g. fulfill the quality maxim but violate the quantity maxim: -- Where does C live? -- Somewhere in the south of France.)
2) Do not make your contribution more informative than is required. 自己所说的话不能比所要求的更详尽

Problems with Gricean maxims??

1• The maxims allow deriving all the possible implicatures
Post-Gricean developments

1. neo-Griceans (e.g. Horn 1984, 1988; Levinson 1995, 2000): rearranged Grice‘s maxims, reduced their number. Implicatures are explained as the result of the resolution of conflicts between maxims 2. Relevance Theory (Sperber and Wilson 1986; Carston 2002): reduced Grice‘s maxims to one cognitive principle.

2) I-principle Speaker's maxim (the Maxim of Minimization) Say as little as necessary, i.e. produce the minimal linguistic information sufficient to achieve your communicational ends (bearing the Q-principle in mind). Speaker: as efficient as possible 力求简洁 Recipient's corollary (the enrichment rule) Amplify the informational content of the speaker's utterance, by finding the most specific interpretation up to what you judge to be mintended point. Hearer: benefit as much as possible
