摘要
模糊限制语具有重要的语用功能，语言学界对此已有很多的研究，但这些研究多是用礼貌原则或Grice会话含义理论来孤立地讨论的，以数量会话含义理论对其进行分析并将三种理论有机结合的几乎没有。本文指出Levinson数量会话含义理论可以帮助我们理解模糊限制语在非特定语境中所产生的一般会话含义。通过分析一些典型模糊限制语的一般会话含义，本文凸现了数量会话含义理论对Grice会话含义理论和礼貌原则的补充，强调只有将礼貌原则、Grice会话含义理论和数量会话含义理论这三个理论有机结合起来，才能正确分析、理解和使用模糊限制语的语用功能和会话含义。
The pragmatic functions of hedges have been much studied in the field of pragmatics. The previous researches, however, usually discuss their functions by using Grice＇s theory of Conversational Implicature or the theory of Politeness Principle in an isolated way, and there are few research based on the theory of Generalized Quantity Implicatures. This paper proposes that Grice＇s theory can only make us realize that there may be implicatures, but it is little helpful for us to figure out what the implicatures are. It also points out that the advantage of Politeness Principle lies in particularized implicatures. As to the generalized implicatures of some typical hedges, we need the help of the theory of Generalized Quantity Implicatures. By analyzing the conversational implicatures of some typical hedges, the paper emphasizes the importance of Generalized Quantity Implicatures for understanding hedges＇ functions, and that only by integrating the three theories of Conversational Implicature, Generalized Quantity Implicatures and Politeness Principle in an effective way can we better understand the pragmatic functions of hedges and use them efficiently.
