Abstract:

Resonance is a key notion in dialogic syntax. Based on the theories of state-of-affairs scenarios and dialogic resonance, this paper presents the dialogic coupling model of state-of-affairs scenarios to explore the metonymic inferencing mechanism for dialogic resonance. The proposal is that the extent of syntactic resonance is determined by the links among the elements of a scenario that are selected as the metonymic sources, and is also closely related to the strength of the metonymic link. The effort entailed in pragmatic reasoning also differs in accordance with the change in coupling among dialogic exchanges. This study presents a new perspective on pragmatic inferencing in dialogues by integrating the theories of metonymy and dialogic resonance, which will broaden the scope of neo-cognitive pragmatics.

摘要：

共振是对话句法理论的核心概念。本文将认知语言学的事态场景理论引入对话共振研究，构建对话的事态场景耦合分析模式，探讨对话句法共振的转喻认知理据。研究表明，对话结构的共振程度取决于事态场景转喻模式的耦合度，也与事态部分的转喻力度相关，对话双方所付出的语用推理努力也因所选事态成分耦合度的不同而有所差异。本文展示了对话共振与转喻推理的理论互补性，为对话的语用推理研究提供了新的视角，可为拓宽新认知语用学的研究范围提供参考。
