本文概述了对指示语的语义和语用进行实地考察的方法。指示语表达,如英语‘This,That,here,here,’,‘通常用来使所指对象与话语语境的指示性基础相关。通过对尤卡特克·玛雅的长期研究,本文认为指示语的基础不是所指对象的空间邻接性,而是参与者对所指对象的通达(知觉、认知、社会)。为了确定指示语在任何语言中的常规意义,田野调查应该关注指示语表达之间的聚合对立,母语人士指示语的元语言色彩,以及各种社会结构环境下的日常用法。有人认为,就像其他类型的民族志研究一样。为了获得说话人理解语境的语境图式,应该用目的语进行启发式教学。经过适当的分析。指称指示语被证明是高度系统化的,便于田野调查。也是语用学的核心。(C)2008爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
This paper Outlines air approach to fieldwork on the semantics and pragmatics of deixis. Deictic expressions, such as English 'this, that, here, there,' are typically used to individuate referential objects in relation to tire indexical ground of utterance context. Drawing oil long-term research on Yucatec Maya, the paper argues that the basis of deixis is not the spatial contiguity of the referent, but rather the access (perceptual, cognitive, social) that participants have to the referent. In order to property determine the conventional meanings of deictics in any language, fieldwork should focus On the paradigmatic oppositions among deictic expressions, on metalinguistic glosses of deictics by native speakers, and on ordinary usage under a variety of socially structured circumstances. It is argued that, like other kinds of ethnogaphic research. elicitation should be conducted in the target language in order to gain access to the Contextual schemas through which speakers apprehend context. Properly analyzed. referential deixis proves to be highly systematic, tractable to fieldwork. and central to pragmatics. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
