This short paper makes a tentative attempt to capture the most salient of persuasion strategies engaged in the construction of leadership in three different yet apparently interrelated domains of public life and public policy, political communication, management/business discourse, and academic communication. It explores the cognitive underpinnings, as well as linguistic realizations, of such concepts/phenomena/mechanisms as consistency-building, source-tagging, forced conceptualizations by metaphor, and discursive neutralization of the cheater detection module in the discourse addressee. A preliminary conclusion from the analysis of these mechanisms is that the three discourses under investigation reveal striking conceptual similarities with regard to the main strategies of credibility-building and enactment of leadership. At the same time, they reveal differences at the linguistic level, i.e. regarding the types of lexical choices applied to realize a given strategy.
这篇短文试图在公共生活和公共政策、政治沟通、管理/商业话语和学术沟通这三个不同但显然相互关联的领域中,捕捉到在领导力建设中最突出的说服策略。它探讨了这些概念/现象/机制的认知基础和语言实现,如一致性建立、源标记、隐喻的强制概念化和话语中和在话语对象中的作弊检测模块。从这些机制的分析中得出的初步结论是,所调查的三种话语在建立信誉和制定领导的主要战略方面显示出惊人的概念相似性。同时,它们也揭示了在语言层面上的差异,即在实现给定策略所使用的词汇选择类型方面的差异。

Different scalar terms are affected by face differently 不同的标量项受面的影响不同

Research on the effect of face-orientation on scalar implicatures has claimed that face-threatening contexts are one type of context in which scalar implicatures are not warranted. However, that research has been based on the two staples of scalar implicature research, some and or. Given research on scalar diversity has shown that these terms are rather exceptional in inducing high rates of scalar implicatures, we believe it is time for a reassessment. We explored the relationship between scalar implicatures and face concerns by means of an experiment involving eight types of scalar terms in face-boosting and face-threatening contexts. While our results showed that some and or reliably tended to induce scalar implicatures in both types of contexts, confirming the findings of scalar diversity research in this respect, we failed to replicate previous findings that face-threatening contexts do not induce scalar implicatures. We discuss reasons for these findings and how face concerns should be implemented for future experimentation in this vein.
关于人脸方位对标量含义影响的研究表明,威胁人脸的语境是标量含义不成立的一种语境。然而,这项研究是基于标量含义研究的两个主要内容,即some和or。鉴于对标量多样性的研究表明,这些术语在诱导高标量隐含率方面相当特殊,我们认为是时候重新评估了。我们通过一项实验探讨了标量含义与人脸关注之间的关系,该实验涉及人脸提升和人脸威胁上下文中的八种标量项。虽然我们的研究结果表明,在这两种类型的上下文中,一些和/或可靠地倾向于诱导标量含义,证实了标量多样性研究在这方面的发现,但我们未能复制以前的发现,即面对威胁的上下文不会诱导标量含义。我们讨论了这些发现的原因,以及在未来的实验中应该如何实现人脸问题。

Shaping identities in interaction by cognitive meanings 通过认知意义在互动中塑造身份

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
IF 0.8 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-05-14 DOI: 10.1163/18773109-01102106

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
IF 0.8 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-05-14 DOI: 10.1163/18773109-01102101

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。

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。

Speaking figuratively 说打个比方

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。

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。

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。

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.","PeriodicalId":43536,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Pragmatics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/18773109-01102100","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45970635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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。
