语用学(pragmatics),是语言学的一个分支,是一门动态描写语言的学问。语用学(pragmatics),是语言学的一个分支,是一门动态描写语言的学问。 它研究在特定情境中的特定话语,以及如何通过语境(context)来理解和使用语言(戴伟栋,2000)。
A: What would like for your birthday? B1: I’d like a new camera for my birthday. (静态意义) B2: Well, my camera is broken. (动态意义)
语用学研究的就是语言在一定的语境中使用时体现出来的具体的意义。语用学研究的就是语言在一定的语境中使用时体现出来的具体的意义。 句子本身的意思和说话人想表达的意思之间可能有很大的区别。
例如“Is that your car?”( 这是你的车子吗?) 这句话在不同的语境下可能含义有: 1. 表示“抱怨”: “Your car is blocking my gate way— move it !” (你的车挡住了我的通道,把它挪开!) ;
2. 表示羡慕: • “What a fantastic car — • I didn’t know you were so rich !”( 多么棒的一辆车子啊—我不知道你居然这么阔!) ;
3. 表示“看不上眼”: “What a dreadful car ——I wouldn’t be seen dead in it! ” ( 多么糟糕的一台车啊,我死也不会坐它的。)
It’s cold in here. -----何自然 1)陈述一个事实(客观说明这里气温的情况)。 2)表达一个请求(天气冷,而门窗却敞开着)。 3)提出一个建议(这里冷,不妨换一个地方)。 4)发出一个警告(这里冷,当心着凉)。 5)表示埋怨(这里气温不宜人)等等。
语用学是专门研究语言的理解和使用的学问。 • 要做到真正理解和恰当使用一门语言,仅仅懂得构成这门语言的发音、词汇和语法是不够的,我们还必须懂得这种语言与理解和使用这种语言的人之间存在的各种各样的关系,如词语的字面意义和隐含意义、话语的前提、说话人的意图、听话人的推断等等。
2. Golf plays John. 1. Lights, please! 3. Do you like rugby? I am a New Zealander. 4. What’s on television? Nothing. ( consulting a newspaper) (All the TV stations are on strike.) 5. A. Are you going to the seminar? B: It’s on pragmatics.
Go to work happily, and come back safely! A: Will you have some more? B1: Oh, yes, please. It’s delicious. B2: Oh, no, thank you. I don’t want much to eat. B3: Thank you. I am sorry to hear about you grandma. I am sorry to hear that your grandma killed herself. I am very sorry to hear your grandma tripped over the cat, cartwheeled down the stairs and brained herself on the electricity meter.

a、违反操英语本族人的语言习惯,误用了不恰当的表达方式:a、违反操英语本族人的语言习惯,误用了不恰当的表达方式: --- Thanks a lot for your help. --- Never mind. I. 语言语用方面的错误: “Never mind”用于接受对方道歉时说的,在这里只要说“You’re welcome.”。
Thank you. You’re welcome. You deserve it.
What do you want? Can I help you? b. 不懂得英语的表达方式,套用母语的表达结构:
of course 很多时候表示肯定的意思, 但在这里却有嘲笑对方问如此愚蠢问题的意味。 c. 将汉、英词语等同,造成失误: Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival? Of course! Sure. / Certainly. 母语干扰
A: I’d like to phone my friend Dagang. B: OK. You phone first, please. 正:After you. 英语中表示先礼让别人用“after you”, 而you go first是不得体的。
The speed of the car is fast. The car is speeding. The car is going too fast.
d. 只了解字面意义,弄不清说话人的真正用意: --- May I know your name? --- Yes, you can. 问话的人是希望对方告知名字,但回答的人只是从字面上理解了对方的话。 ---Would you please close the window for me? --- Yes, I would.
--- Tom, have you read Unit One twice? --- Yes, I have read Unit One twice. 在这里,用Yes.或Yes, I have.即可明确表达意思,但重复对方的话似乎有不耐烦的意思,我们的教学中为了让学生尝试复述句子,经常这样设计问题,应避免。 e. 滥用完整句,忽视完整句在特定场合下可能带来的特殊含义:
f. 混淆同义结构的不同使用场合: Could you possibly help me with the luggage? Airport, please.
