摘要
预设是以隐含的方式内嵌于句子或语段之中的无须断言的信息或命题.作为一种语用现象,预设在文学语篇的建构中发挥着重要的作用.作者在建构文学语篇时,常常运用预设来确立虚拟的语篇世界,并使读者通过预设对语篇中的虚拟世界做出理解.预设还可以对文学语篇的信息组织做出合理的调节和安排,使文学语篇在语言表达上具有经济性的文体特点.另外,作者也可以运用预设冲突产生幽默或荒诞的文体效果.
Presupposition is the implicit information or proposition embedded in a sentence or utterance. As a pragmatic phenomenon, presupposition plays a significant role in the construction of literary text. First of all, presupposition is often employed by the author in the establishment of the fictional world and thus helps the reader interpret the literary text in question. Secondly, presupposition contributes to the economy of linguistic expressions in literary text. Thirdly, presuppositional clash is an important literary device used by the author to create humorous or absurd effects.
