Abstract
Abstract This article gives an overview of how ‘language’ and ‘dialogue’ are dealt with in recent approaches of philosophy, science and dialogue analysis. The philosophy of language is outlined by referring to a few selected examples. Linguistic science is mainly addressed from the perspective of attempts to structure pragmatics. The basic premise is that dialogue is the key to pragmatics. The goal of this article is to demonstrate how a theory of dialogue can be developed as a complex whole, which requires the transition from classical science to New Science. The basic guideline is the desire to arrive at the unity of philosophy and science, which can be achieved by considering philosophy as a normative component in the study of the meaning of our existence.
期刊介绍:
Intercultural Pragmatics is a fully peer-reviewed forum for theoretical and applied pragmatics research. The goal of the journal is to promote the development and understanding of pragmatic theory and intercultural competence by publishing research that focuses on general theoretical issues, more than one language and culture, or varieties of one language. Intercultural Pragmatics encourages ‘interculturality’ both within the discipline and in pragmatic research. It supports interaction and scholarly debate between researchers representing different subfields of pragmatics including the linguistic, cognitive, social, and interlanguage paradigms. The intercultural perspective is relevant not only to each line of research within pragmatics but also extends to several other disciplines such as anthropology, theoretical and applied linguistics, psychology, communication, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition, and bi- and multilingualism. Intercultural Pragmatics makes a special effort to cross disciplinary boundaries. What we primarily look for is innovative approaches and ideas that do not always fit into existing paradigms, and lead to new ways of thinking about language. Intercultural Pragmatics has always encouraged the publication of theoretical papers including linguistic and philosophical pragmatics that are very important for research in intercultural pragmatics.
