摘要
自关联理论1986年问世后,批评声不断,但这些批评大都是在宏观面上展开的,至今对该理论还很少有微观性批评研究。本文从微观视角出发,通过对《关联性:交际与认知》一书中大量实例进行分析,基本上用Dan Sperber和Deidre Wilson自己的观点和言论批评关联理论的代表性缺陷,具体为:(1)一些重要概念的问题,如关联性性质定义的缺失、明示-推理交际定义的片面性;(2)对关联性评定的问题;(3)最佳关联和最大关联混淆问题;(4)众多自相矛盾问题,如对关联原则的违背。笔者认为只有对关联理论的缺陷进行微观性批评,批评才会具有更大的说服力和客观性。
Since Relevance Theory appeared in 1986, it has suffered various criticisms, most of which have been conducted in a macro- scopic way and seldom in a microscopic way. This paper, with the analysis of many particular examples directly from Relevance： Communication and Cognition and based on Dan Sperber and Deidre Wilson＇ s own viewpoints and words, has accounted for the representative defects of Relevance Theory in a critical way from the microscopic perspective, the author＇ s criticisms being as fol- lows ： （ 1 ） the problems such as the failure of defining relevance in property, one-sidedness in defining ostensive-inference com- munication; （2） the problem concerning the evaluation of relevance ; （3） the problem concerning the confusion of optimal rele- vance and maximal relevance; （4） the problem of self-contradiction concerning the violation of the principle of relevance. The author holds that only if the microscopic criticisms are conducted against the defects of Relevance Theory can such criticisms be more convincing and objective.
