摘要
部分社会科学,比如心理学和考古学可以采用实验的方法进行研究,因此有类似库恩所说自然科学的范式,但是作为人文学科的语用学似乎很难有如此的范式。在库恩的科学哲学理论视角下,范式是指任何一个令人瞩目的理论或者科学成就给其追随者所带来如何从事研究的模型或者程序,只有天文学、物理学、化学、生物学等自然科学有范式,人文社会科学中的大部分学科并没有类似这些自然科学的范式,语用学就是如此。但是“范式”还有另一个常规性意思,就是范例或者型式,指那些典型的、反复出现的东西。从这一点看,语用学无疑是可以有常规性范式的。总之不能简单笼统地说语用学有无范式,而是需要界定语用学能有什么样的范式。
Some branches of social sciences such as psychology and archaeology which can be based on experimental methods have paradigms, as Kuhn called, similar to those of natural sciences. Pragmatics, a discipline of humanities, does not seem to have a Kuhnian paradigm. From the perspective of Kuhn’s philosophy of science, paradigms refer to those unprecedented theories or scientific achievements, and the adherents must follow the models and procedures of a paradigm in their further research. Only such natural sciences as astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology have Kuhnian paradigms and there is no paradigm in most parts of social sciences and humanities. Nor is there any in pragmatics. However, paradigm has the conventional sense of example and pattern, referring to something typical or regular. From this sense, pragmatics can have a paradigm. Therefore, we can’t simply say whether pragmatics has a paradigm or not, but we need to define what kind of paradigm pragmatics can have.
