This is not an address forms research. The purpose of this paper is to study the variation of the Spanish singular and plural second-person object usted (es) (SPU object) by means of the cognitive properties of salience and informativeness. Each variant of the second-person object constitutes a meaningful possibility used by speakers to define their particular position in relation to the communicative situation where they participate, tightly connected to their communicative purposes during interaction. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of SPU object variation in a corpus of Contemporary Spanish (Corpus Interaccional del Español) show that variants are unevenly distributed across textual genres and socioprofessional affiliations of speakers and contribute to shape communicative styles based on the continuum of objectivity-subjectivity.
这不是一个称呼形式的研究。本文旨在利用显著性和信息性的认知特性研究西班牙语单数和复数第二人称宾语usted (es) (SPU宾语)的变异。第二人称宾语的每一种变体都构成了一种有意义的可能性,说话者使用这种可能性来确定他们在参与的交际情境中的特定位置,并在互动过程中与他们的交际目的紧密相连。对现代西班牙语语料库(corpus Interaccional del Español)中SPU宾语变异的定量和定性分析表明,变异在语篇体裁和说话者的社会职业关系中分布不均,并有助于形成基于主客观连续体的交际风格。

Invited presuppositions and the pragmatics of trick questions 邀请预设和诡计问题的语用学

Trick questions are a subgenre of puzzles that have undergone little, if any, semantic-pragmatic study, in part because they are often conflated with riddles. While they do share some mechanisms with riddles, they lean much more heavily on pragmatic mechanisms, and how they make use of them is quite different. This paper focuses on three types of invited presuppositions (box, red herring, and rug) that add more weight to the theory that presuppositions are best suited to pragmatic analysis. The lingering question is whether these three types are more or less comprehensive, or if other types might be distilled from other trick questions.
诡计问题是谜题的一个分支,很少有人对其进行语义-语用学研究,部分原因是它们经常与谜语混为一谈。虽然它们确实与谜语共享一些机制,但它们更依赖于实用机制,并且它们如何使用它们是完全不同的。本文主要关注三种类型的预设(盒子、红鲱鱼和地毯),它们为预设最适合语用分析的理论增加了更多的分量。悬而未决的问题是,这三种类型是否更全面,或者其他类型是否可能从其他技巧问题中提炼出来。

Current issues in the ontology and form of directive speech acts 指导性言语行为的本体与形式问题

A general issue in pragmatics concerns the definitions of speech act (SA) types. Cognitive linguists agree that a directive SA involves a speaker exerting a force towards her addressee’s (A) performance of some action, and the subtypes of directives have been approached in terms of a metaphorical grounding based on force image-schemas. These idealized cognitive models include graded features, the values and the centrality of which differ across directive subtypes. I address the relationship between the form of utterances used as directives and the ontology of directives, and I discuss recent experiments supporting a view of SA s as graded categories. I show that these approaches enable adopting an empirically adequate distinction between the levels of pragmatic meaning and semantic meaning, which raises interesting possibilities for further experimental work on speech act recognition in cognitive linguistics.
语用学中的一个普遍问题是言语行为类型的定义。认知语言学家一致认为,指令SA涉及说话人对听话人(a)执行某些动作施加一种力,并且指令的子类型已经根据基于力意象图式的隐喻基础进行了研究。这些理想化的认知模型包括分级特征,其值和中心性在指令子类型之间是不同的。我讨论了作为指示的话语形式与指示本体之间的关系,并讨论了最近支持SA s作为分级类别的观点的实验。我表明,这些方法能够在语用意义和语义意义的层次之间采用经验上充分的区分,这为认知语言学中进一步的言语行为识别实验工作提供了有趣的可能性。

Speaking figuratively 说打个比方
IF 0.8 0 LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS Pub Date : 2019-05-14 DOI: 10.1163/18773109-01102103

This article addresses two forms of artful language: similes and metaphors. It argues that their artful quality arises from a deliberate omission of information, requiring the listener to fill in the missing parts. Sentences of the form ‘A is like B’ have two uses: as plain comparisons (called similatives) stating that two individuals (item A and item B) are comparable and share properties, and as similes, which are intended as assertions that A is “B-like” in some way. The simile’s absent information is tacit assumptions about its second member, B. As a result, similatives and similes behave differently and have distinct syntactic interpretations. The absent information in a metaphor of the form ‘A is a B’ is a tacit analogy, A:X::B:Y. As such, a metaphor asserts a parallel between two unstated relations, not its two identified items. The tacit members X and Y create the structural framework for the metaphor. Because metaphors use different tacit information than similes do, the two forms require distinct interpretations. It is also shown here that the literal truth of similes and metaphors is irrelevant to their interpretations. Nevertheless, artful statements can be used to make true or false assertions. Their truth is determined by taking their absent information into account. Furthermore, similes and metaphors can meaningfully use negation, as plain statements can. Patterns in simile and metaphor usage reveal that there are predictable processes behind their creation and systematic methods to their interpretations. Once these are identified, the linguistic contributions of similes and metaphors become clear.
本文讨论了两种形式的巧妙语言:明喻和隐喻。它认为,他们的艺术品质源于故意遗漏信息,要求听者填补缺失的部分。“A像B”这种形式的句子有两种用法:一种是简单的比较(称为类似物),说明两个个体(A和B)具有可比性和共享属性;另一种是明喻,意在断言A在某种程度上“像B”。明喻的缺失信息是对其第二成员b的默会假设。因此,明喻和明喻的行为不同,具有不同的句法解释。在“a是B”这种形式的隐喻中,缺失的信息是一种默契的类比,a:X::B:Y。因此,隐喻主张两个未陈述的关系之间的平行关系,而不是两个已确定的项目。默契成员X和Y为隐喻创建了结构框架。由于隐喻与明喻所使用的隐性信息不同,这两种形式需要不同的解释。这里还表明,明喻和隐喻的字面真理与它们的解释无关。然而,巧妙的陈述可以用来做出正确或错误的断言。他们的真实性是通过考虑他们缺失的信息来确定的。此外,明喻和隐喻可以有意义地使用否定,就像普通语句一样。明喻和隐喻的使用模式揭示了其产生背后的可预测过程和系统的解释方法。一旦这些被确定,明喻和隐喻的语言贡献就变得清晰起来。

This paper discusses the Contextual Blindness principle as extended to the exclusive operator only. It focuses on the interaction between only and alternatives derived from a special category of contextual orders, generally referred to as “rank orders”. It submits problematic evidence for the principle and argues that access to contextual information is required in the relevant cases. Its conclusion is that, as things stand, these cases constitute an obstacle to the semantic generalization of scalar reasoning involving only.
本文讨论了上下文盲原则,它仅推广到排他性算子。它侧重于从一个特殊类别的上下文顺序(通常被称为“等级顺序”)派生出的唯一和备选方案之间的相互作用。它为这一原则提供了有问题的证据,并认为在相关案件中需要获得背景信息。它的结论是,就目前情况来看,这些情况对仅涉及的标量推理的语义泛化构成了障碍。

Negated tautologies and copular contradictions 否定重言式与系词矛盾

This paper investigates utterances with the structure A is not A, showing that they can be fully informative and are felicitously used and understood in discourse. Relying on the notions of metalinguistic and metarepresentational negation, we argue that the class of utterances A is not A is heterogeneous and differs in regard to the lower-order representation under the scope of the negative operator. Specifically, we distinguish negated tautologies and copular contradictions. The understanding of negated tautologies involves identifying the corresponding affirmative deep tautology (Bulhof & Gimbel, 2001) and rejecting the assumptions derived from it. The interpretation of copular contradictions is based on distinguishing each of the occurrences of the repeated constituent as describing (a) one single referent with different properties; (b) two different referents satisfying the same description in different evaluation worlds; (c) two different referents, with different properties, which are accessed by means of the same linguistic expression.
本文研究了结构为A不是A的话语,表明它们可以提供充分的信息,并在话语中得到恰当的使用和理解。基于元语言学和元表征否定的概念,我们认为话语类别A不是A是异质的,并且在否定算子的范围内,在低阶表征方面是不同的。具体来说,我们区分否定重言式和系词矛盾。对否定重言式的理解包括识别相应的肯定性深层重言式(Bulhof&Gimbel,2001),并拒绝由此得出的假设。对系词矛盾的解释是基于将重复成分的每一次出现区分为描述(a)一个具有不同性质的单个指称;(b) 在不同的评价世界中满足相同描述的两个不同的指称;(c) 两个不同的指称,具有不同的性质,通过相同的语言表达来访问。

Gradual conventionalization of pragmatic inferences 语用推理的逐渐约定俗化

The alternation in Spanish between y and e on the one hand, and u and o in the other, is examined. It is proposed that the standard account under which the choice of one variant over the other is sensitive only to the phonetic context is incomplete. Specifically, the paper argues that pragmatic inferences that typically appear cross-linguistically associated with these connectors, and that result in asymmetric interpretations, are not favoured in Spanish with the morphological variants e and u, which favour symmetric interpretations. The paper proposes that the relevant pragmatic inferences have been partially conventionalized for y and o, but that this conventionalization has not occurred in the case of e and u for the reason that they are much less frequently used. Thus, discussion and data offer a view of a stage in a gradual process of semantic change via conventionalization of pragmatic inferences.
研究了西班牙语中y和e以及u和o之间的交替。有人提出,选择一种变体而不是另一种变体只对语音上下文敏感的标准解释是不完整的。具体而言,该论文认为,在西班牙语中,通常表现为与这些连接词跨语言关联并导致不对称解释的语用推理不受形态学变体e和u的青睐,后者有利于对称解释。本文提出,对于y和o,相关的语用推理已经被部分惯例化,但这种惯例化并没有发生在e和u的情况下,因为它们的使用频率要低得多。因此,讨论和数据通过语用推理的惯例化,提供了语义逐渐变化过程中的一个阶段。

Exclamatives, exclamations, miratives and speaker’s meaning 感叹词,感叹词,感叹词和说话人的意思
IF 0.8 0 LANGUAGE & LINGUISTICS Pub Date : 2019-05-14 DOI: 10.1163/18773109-01102104

Exclamations, exclamatives and miratives are utterances that do not merely convey some informative content, but are designed to express the emotional attitude of surprise. In this paper I argue that analysing what it means to express surprise must be based on three main ideas: (1) the idea that exclamatives are instances of metarepresentational use; (2) the idea that what is communicated in exclamatives and exclamations are what relevance theorists call impressions, rather than definite propositions, where impressions are communicated by slightly increasing the manifestness of a whole range of propositions; and (3) the idea that utterances may not only communicate by conveying Gricean meaning, but also by showing, i.e. by providing direct evidence for certain thoughts. Thus, what is communicated in exclamatives and exclamations is typically not reducible to Gricean speaker meanings. I outline the implications of my approach by comparing it to some recent semantic accounts.
感叹词、感叹词和感叹词不只是传达一些信息内容,而是用来表达惊讶的情感态度。在本文中,我认为分析表达惊讶的意义必须基于三个主要观点:(1)感叹语是元表征用法的实例;(2)在感叹号和感叹号中传达的是关联理论家所说的印象,而不是确定的命题,在确定的命题中,印象是通过稍微增加整个命题范围的明显性来传达的;(3)认为话语不仅可以通过传达Gricean的意思来进行交流,而且还可以通过展示,即为某些思想提供直接的证据。因此,在感叹号和感叹号中所传达的内容通常不能简化为希腊人的意思。通过将我的方法与最近的一些语义描述进行比较,我概述了我的方法的含义。

The goal of this paper is to make an attempt at exploring the concepts of time, space and person, focusing on the nexus between them, with a view to revealing their role in shaping our perception and understanding of the sociological, political, cultural and economic contexts. The paper is also dealing with the issue of how subjective individual factors can influence various discursive practices vis-à-vis time and space. In its theoretical framework, the paper outlines key theoretical issues and concepts by focusing on the role of text, context and discourse in understanding time, space and person. The second part of the paper considers the crucial role of linguistic devices in the localization of time, space and person in political discourse. Finally, the third part explains how linguistic devices (both conventional and figurative) function in building the dynamism of time, space and person in political discourse, focusing on proximization and direction.
本文的目的是试图探索时间、空间和人的概念,关注它们之间的联系,以揭示它们在塑造我们对社会、政治、文化和经济背景的感知和理解中的作用。本文还讨论了主观个体因素如何影响时间和空间的各种话语实践的问题。在理论框架中,本文通过关注文本、语境和话语在理解时间、空间和人方面的作用,概述了关键的理论问题和概念。本文的第二部分探讨了语言手段在政治话语中时间、空间和人的定位中的关键作用。最后,第三部分解释了语言手段(包括传统手段和比喻手段)如何在政治话语中构建时间、空间和人的动态,重点是接近性和方向性。

In its theoretical framework, the paper outlines key theoretical issues and concepts by focusing on the role of text, context and discourse in understanding time, space and person.

The alleged vagueness of visual images and the lack of a univocal coding scheme make it difficult to be sure about the propositions to which image-makers are committed. This is particularly problematic for the analysis of multimodal discourse from an argumentation studies perspective, because it makes it hard for the analyst to establish the argumentative nature and relevance of visuals. The paper explores how insights from Relevance Theory can be applied in order to determine the commitments of image-makers. In particular, it has recourse to the inferential processes involved in the recovery of explicit and implicit content in order to analyse a series of covers from The Economist, where visuals in combination with verbal text cue allusions to films and paintings. It argues that these multimodal allusions are not simply used to attract the audience’s attention but also help the analyst to reconstruct the argument of the cover.
所谓的视觉图像的模糊性和缺乏统一的编码方案使得很难确定图像制作者所致力于的命题。这对于从论证研究的角度分析多模态话语来说尤其有问题,因为这使得分析人员很难确定视觉的论证性质和相关性。本文探讨了如何运用关联理论来确定图像制作者的承诺。特别是,为了分析《经济学人》的一系列封面,它求助于恢复显性和隐性内容所涉及的推理过程,其中视觉效果与口头文本相结合暗示了对电影和绘画的暗示。它认为,这些多模式的典故不仅是为了吸引观众的注意力,而且有助于分析师重建封面的论点。
