On the Strategic Performance of Verbal Impoliteness towards an Integration of Mental Space Theory with Linguistic Adaptation Theory
YANG Zi
2010, 26(3): 13-17.
Abstract(243) PDF(17)
Abstract:
Mental space theory (MST) addresses linguistic phenomena mainly from the perspective of the information carried by the utterance itself.The roles played by language users in the construction of mental spaces, however, are ignored to a certain extent.Linguistic adaptation theory (LAT), which focuses on the choice made by both the speaker and the hearer during the negotiation and adaptation process of communication, can make up this defect in MST.Therefore, by combining the two theories, the paper attempts to present the operational mechanism of strategic verbal impoliteness (SVI), a special linguistic phenomenon employing impoliteness to perform other illocutionary acts than being impolite.It is pointed out that in producing such a speech act, adaptation is made by the speaker not only to the context, but also to his preset mental space building plan.Without any explicit space-builder, the strategic impolite utterance induces the hearer to construct mistakenly the content of a fictive space into a reality space, and thus achieves its strategic effect.
A Prototype-Theory-Based Approach to Metonymy
SUN Ya
2010, 26(3): 18-23.
Abstract(240) PDF(15)
Abstract:
Metonymy is both a tool and a result of understanding and categorizing the world.In terms of definitional structure on the intensional level, metonymy cannot be defined by means of a set of necessary and sufficient conditions.In terms of referential structure on the extensional level, the boundaries among metonymy, literal language and metaphor are not always determinate.Therefore, metonymy exhibits prototype effects.The prototype of metonymy is referential metonymy based on spatial relationship, in which vehicle and target are of whole-part relationship in the same domain, and target is more conceptually prominent than vehicle.
