초록

The goal of this paper is to show that the so-called habitual present in English is basically a pragmatic phenomenon, which can appropriately be explained as following from a set of assumptions and principles of Relevance Theory. The analysis is based on the recognition that the habitual present is not a homogeneous tense phenomenon and that its non-compositional meaning is primarily the result of pragmatic processes. The study adopts the idea of the relevance-theoretic approach which proposes that a propositional content of ‘what is said’ should be constructed through pragmatic inference, showing that the indeterminacy phenomenon of habitual present can be accounted for as a result of various inferential processes that play a pivotal role in deriving explicature.
