语用学是由美国哲学家威廉·莫里斯(Charles William Morris)于1938年提出,他认为语言文字是一种符号,语用学就是研究符号和语言使用者关系,即分析研究影响语言行为(如招呼从语用学角度、回答、应酬、劝说)的标准和支配轮流发言的规则和语言用于成事的方式。本文从语用学角度,运用格莱斯会话含义理论,解读电影中主人翁屡次违反合作原则的四条准则所传递出的会话含义,从而了解人物的内心世界,探讨剧中主要人物本和罗宾逊太太的性格。 Pragmatics was proposed by the American philosopher Charles William Morris in 1938. He believes that language is a symbol, and pragmatics is the study of the relationship between symbols and language users, that is, the analysis of the impact of language behavior Such as greetings from a pragmatic point of view, to answer, to socialize, to persuade) and to the rules governing the use of rotational speeches and the ways in which language is used to accomplish things. From the perspective of pragmatics, this article uses Grice’s theory of conversational meanings to interpret the meaning of the conversations conveyed by the four principles that the masters of the film frequently violate the principle of cooperation, so as to understand the inner world of the characters and to explore the relationship between the characters in the play and Mrs. Robinson character.
