本章认为,有一种方法可以解决“only”的一些众所周知的挑战,但仍然忠实于经典思想。本文首先介绍了关于“only”的传统和主流观点。直觉上,“only”对句子意义的贡献似乎很清楚。自20世纪60年代以来,无数关于如何捕捉这种直觉的建议被提出。其中最具影响力的是焦点替代方法。本章基于Groenendijk & Stokhof(1984)的穷尽解释规则,提供了语义部分的最小模型分析。结果表明,分析结果做出了一些吸引人的预测,特别是如果考虑到“相关性”的概念。最后,作者认为“Only”的语用推断应该被认为是一种会话含义。关键词:会话含义;详尽的解释;焦点替代法;最小模型分析
This chapter argues that there is a way to approach the meaning of 'only' that can deal with some of its well-known challenges but still is faithful to classical ideas. It starts discussion by introducing the traditional and predominant view on the meaning of 'only'. Intuitively, it seems to be quite clear what 'only' contributes to the meaning of a sentence. Countless proposals on how to capture this intuition have been brought forward since the nineteen-sixties. One of the most influential is a focus alternative approach . The chapter provides a minimal model analysis of the semantic part, based on Groenendijk & Stokhof's (1984) rule of exhaustive interpretation. It is shown that the resulting analysis makes some appealing predictions, especially if a notion of 'relevance· is taken into account. Finally, the authors argued that the pragmatic inference from 'Only' should be thought of as a conversational implicature. Keywords: conversational implicature; exhaustive interpretation; focus alternative approach ; minimal model analysis
