关联理论与语用推理

关联理论认为，语言交际是一个示意——推理的认知过程，认知的实现在于它本身所体现出来的关联性。因此，关联理论框架下的言语交际活动是一个有目的、由说话人示意、听话人推理的动态过程。论文着重分析关联理论对语用推理的解释。     

浅析口头交际中的明示与语境效果的获得

言语交际需要一定的语境效果;好的语境效果,有利于交际的顺延.口头交际中,语境效果的获得与发话人的明示有着直接的联系.面对不同的交际对象、交际场合,灵活变换明示方式,以期获得理想的语境效果,是发话人自然会(也必须)首先考虑的问题.本文仅从明示--推理的视角对此做了一些粗浅的分析.     

Interactive Evaluation of the Ostensive Model Using a New Test Collection of Images with Multiple Relevance Assessments

The Ostensive Model proposes a manner of structuring the uncertainty associated with individual relevance judgements as sources of evidence in relevance feedback. It proposes temporal profiles of uncertainty, motivating the application of a particular class of discount function with respect to the age of the evidence. This paper presents an initial evaluation of the relative effectiveness of different uncertainty discount functions.A novel direct manipulation interface to a multimedia retrieval system embodying the Ostensive Model is outlined briefly. The paper describes the construction and characteristics of a new image test collection utilising multiple binary relevance assessments. The use of such multiple assessments and multiple interpretations of them are discussed. The evaluation environment is detailed in terms of the interface, test collection, and tasks set to users. Multiple interpretations of the results, and the statistical significance of comparisons are presented.The results obtained in the evaluation are consistent with the proposals of the Ostensive Model—reinforcing a particular evidence profile. The results give clear pointers to further, more specific, evaluations.     

An Analysis of Fictional Dialogues of Love in a Fallen City in the Light of Relevance Theory

Although literary works are imaginary,they are based on careful observations of the real world.The fictional world is an imitation of the real world.So there is a strong similarity between them.The character utterances in fictions may be artificial in reality,but they are true in fictions.Therefore,pragmatic theories also have validity for literary interaction in theory.The au thor analyzes the fictional dialogues in Eileen Chang’ s novel——Love in a Fallen City under the framework of the communica tion model based on Relevance Theory.In the academic field,Relevance Theory has been applied to explain a wide range of phenomena in translation,stylistics,phonology,and English teaching.However,the researches on mass communication discourse are still on the development.
