영어 담화에서의 등위접속 요소 간 의미해석

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse a variety of interpretations among coordinating conjuncts considering aktionsart, causality, and pragmatic knowledge. Grice(1975) argues that the temporal, additional, ,and causative interpretations of coordinate 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 an interaction between pragmatic principles and general properties of the mind, rather than the meaning of ‘and’. Blakemore(1987) argues that coordinate utterances are not processed in exactly the same way as independent utterances. In this vein, the temporal order in which conjuncts are stated may have significant semantic and pragmatic effects. Thus, a coordinating conjunction needs to be interpreted as the temporal interpretation rule of coordinate constructions including linguistic knowledge and world knowledge. In this study, tense, explicit temporal adverbs, aktionsart, causality, world knowledge, and contextual knowledge will be used in analysing dynamic interpretations among coordinating conjuncts.
