指示语体现了格赖斯的简洁原则,即“只说必要的”。一种常见的简化形式是使用“现在”来表示说话者的“此时此地”观点(即,从现在开始(From Here or From Now)。在解释指示减少的语言,声音和手势资源整合与视觉信息的“此时此地”。与数字通信有关的指示语的各个方面进行了探讨:(1)对比导航系统中使用的指示意象类型,特别注意作为默认系统的串联意象(2)与Ø的使用相关的不同类型的指示混淆,特别是在电子邮件通信中(3)不同类型的视觉图标,平行指示资源,因为他们也反映了格赖斯的简洁原则(尽管其他因素促使它们的使用,例如真实世界体验的虚拟模拟以及跨不同语言进行交流的需要)。特别注意力集中在基于PowerPoint的通信,其中语音和手势资源与写作和图形相结合,形成一个“此时此地”的完形(在PowerPoint幻灯片中的舞台信息类似于手势,因为它提供了对关键信息位的共同关注)。
Abstract Deixis reflects what can be described as the Gricean principle of brevity, which can be summarized as ‘say only what is necessary’. One common form of reduction is the use of Ø to represent the speaker's ‘here and now’ perspective (i.e., Ø = ‘from here’ or ‘from now’). In interpreting deictically reduced language, vocal and gestural resources are integrated with visual information about the ‘here and now’. Various aspects of deixis in relation to digital communication are explored: (1) Contrasting kinds of deictic imagery used in navigational systems, with particular attention to in-tandem imagery as the default system(2) Different kinds of deictic confusion associated with the use of Ø, especially within email communication(3) Different kinds of visual icons that parallel deictic resources in that they also reflect the Gricean principle of brevity (although other factors motivate their use such as virtual simulation of real-world experience and the need to communicate across different languages). Particular attention is focused on PowerPoint-based communication in which vocal and gestural resources are integrated with writing and graphics to form a ‘here and now’ gestalt (staging information in a PowerPoint slide resembles the gestural in that it provides common focus on crucial bits of information).
