Indirectness in discourse: interrogatives, implicit meaning and incongruence (B03)

B03研究非字面意义如何在话语中的间接性中出现。我们采用跨语言的视角，包括德语，英语和日语，研究了基于疑问句和问答序列（例如在采访中）中的间接言语行为。使用各种经验来源，如语法描述，实验和语料库研究，我们看看如何正式的句法因素（小句类型）和话语结构（问题讨论中）有助于间接性，哪些机制允许丰富的常规解释，以及哪些上下文促进或限制这种创造性的解释。

B03 investigates how non-literal meaning emerges in indirectness within discourse. We examine indirect speech acts based on interrogatives and indirectness in question-response sequences (e.g. in interviews), adopting a cross-linguistic perspective including German, English and Japanese. Using various empirical sources, such as grammatical descriptions, experiments and corpus studies, we look at how formal syntactic factors (clause types) and the structure of discourse (questions-under-discussion) contribute to indirectness, which mechanisms allow for enrichment of conventional interpretation, and which contexts facilitate or limit such creative interpretation.
