Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review the neccesity of constraints on coordination and to analyse a variety of interpretations among coordinating conjunts considering aktionsart, casality, and pragmatic knowledge. To achieve this purpose, the interpretation rules in aktionsart and in causality are proposed. Formal logic proposed the truth-functional method to interpret the systematic ambiguity in a co-ordinating conjunction. According to this anaysis, `P & Q` and `Q & P` are logically equivalent. Grice(1975) argues that the temporal, additional, purpose and causative interpretations of co-ordinate constructions in English must be analysed as implications conveyed by conformity to the maxim `Be orderly`. Carsten(1988) claims that these pragmatic effects of coordination are the outcome of as interaction between pramatic principles and general properties of the mind, rather than the meaning of `and`. Blakemore(1987) argues that co-ordinate utterances are not processed in exactly the same way as independent utterances. However, the temporal order in which conjuncts are stated may have significant syntactie, semantic, and pragmatic effects. Thus, a co-ordinating conjunction needs to be interpreted as the temporal interpretation rule of coordinate constructions including liguistic knowledge and world kowledge. In this study, the interpretation rules in aktionsart and in causality will be proved in analysing dynamic interpretations among co-ordinating conjuncts.
