摘要
列文森在2000年出版的《设定意义:一般性会话含义理论》一书中,对一般性会话含义(GCI)的分类、推导作出了详尽的论述,试图确立GCI理论在语用学中的核心地位。GCI理论的提出改变了以往人们过于偏重特殊性会话含义研究的局面,为语用学的发展带来了新的启示。然而,正如其他理论一样,由于理论基础以及研究方法的影响,该理论同样也存在诸多不足之处。本文将主要从GCI的性质、GCI理论研究目标以及该理论引发的语用-语义界面问题三个方面探讨列氏理论的主要缺陷。
In his Presumptive Meanings： The Theory of Generalized Conversational Implicature, Levinson provides a detailed description of the inferring and classification of generalized conversational implicatures, attempting to establish a kernel status for his new theory in pragmatic study. Levinson＇s GCI theory has shifted researchers＇ attention from PCIs （particularized conversational implicatures） to GCIs, bringing enlightenment to pragmatic study. However, like all other theories, this new theory has inevitably its own inadequacies. This paper tries to comment on the major defects of this theory mainly from three aspects： the nature of GCIs, the research goal of this theory and the Drat,,matics/semantics interface oroblems caused hv it.
