“实用主义者”的立场是对话语内容的三种划分:(i)句子的固定意义,(ii)某种程度上语用增强的意义,它捕捉了说话者明确传达的内容(遵循Sperber和Wilson,我将其标记为“显式”),以及(iii)说话者仅仅暗示的进一步间接传达的命题。在这里,我重新审视了显式的概念,询问它是如何定义的,以及显式应该做什么工作。我认为,显式得到定义在三个不同的方式,这些不同的定义可以和做拉分开。因此,显式的概念被证明是定义不清的。
‘Pragmaticist’ positions posit a three‐way division within utterance content between: (i) the standing meaning of the sentence, (ii) a somewhat pragmatically enhanced meaning which captures what the speaker explicitly conveys (following Sperber and Wilson, I label this the ‘explicature’), and (iii) further indirectly conveyed propositions which the speaker merely implies. Here I re‐examine the notion of an explicature, asking how it is defined and what work explicatures are supposed to do. I argue that explicatures get defined in three different ways and that these distinct definitions can and do pull apart. Thus the notion of an explicature turns out to be ill‐defined.
