作為一種普遍存在的語言現(xiàn)像,委婉語在幫助人們順利實現(xiàn)交際目的,維護人際關(guān)系和諧方面起著不可忽視的作用,因此有人稱委婉語為人類交際的“潤滑油”。這種幾乎是伴隨著人類文明產(chǎn)生的表達方式,自古以來都受到廣大學者們的普遍關(guān)注。傳統(tǒng)的修辭學領(lǐng)域?qū)ξ裾Z的研究基本停留在詞匯層面�，F(xiàn)代語言學家們從語義學、語用學、社會語言學和認知語言學等角度在詞匯、句法以至篇章層面對委婉語進行了較為深入的研究,并且取得了豐碩的成果,為后人進一步的研究提供了很大方便。 以認知語用為基礎(chǔ)的關(guān)聯(lián)理論為語用學提供了一個更加科學全面的視角,具有重大的理論和現(xiàn)實意義。本文以Sperber和Wilson的關(guān)聯(lián)理論為框架來研究日常生活中的委婉語�；仡櫫宋裾Z在各個研究領(lǐng)域中的相關(guān)文獻之后,論文探討了關(guān)聯(lián)理論中認知語境、最佳關(guān)聯(lián)、推理以及最基本的明示-推理的交際模式等與本研究密切相關(guān)的理論基礎(chǔ)。論文著重從說話人的明示行為和聽話人的推理兩方面對委婉語交際進行了闡釋。關(guān)聯(lián)理論對委婉語交際中的說話人的明示行為有著一定的限制,對聽話人的推理有著重大的指導意義。委婉語在本質(zhì)上是一種言語的間接表達行為,因此聽話人不能直接推測出說話人的真...
