초록

This paper deals with the meanings of hedged utterances. Lakoff (1973) draws attention to the hedges such as ‘sort of,’ ‘technically,’ and ‘loosely speaking,’ and Fraser (1975) introduces other hedges such as ‘I can,’ ‘I must,’ and ‘I want.’ These two kinds of hedge have been distinguished in the literature: the former contributes to the propositional meaning of a sentence and the latter involves the illocutionary force of a performative sentence. In this paper, we suggest a unified account of these hedges. Hedging is a pragmatic phenomenon by which the speaker expresses a hedge to a proposition expressed explicitly and communicates the proposition implicitly. Hedged utterances express a proposition to which the hedge contributes conceptually and implicate the proposition minus the hedge. Since it is an implicature, the speaker has the option to cancel it whenever she needs to. That option makes the speaker choose a hedged utterance, which takes additional processing effort from the speaker and the hearer.

Abstract

This paper deals with the meanings of hedged utterances. Lakoff (1973) draws attention to the hedges such as ‘sort of,’ ‘technically,’ and ‘loosely speaking,’ and Fraser (1975) introduces other hedges such as ‘I can,’ ‘I must,’ and ‘I want.’ These two kinds of hedge have been distinguished in the literature: the former contributes to the propositional meaning of a sentence and the latter involves the illocutionary force of a performative sentence. In this paper, we suggest a unified account of these hedges. Hedging is a pragmatic phenomenon by which the speaker expresses a hedge to a proposition expressed explicitly and communicates the proposition implicitly. Hedged utterances express a proposition to which the hedge contributes conceptually and implicate the proposition minus the hedge. Since it is an implicature, the speaker has the option to cancel it whenever she needs to. That option makes the speaker choose a hedged utterance, which takes additional processing effort from the speaker and the hearer.
