关联理论可以用数学中集合和映射来类比理解。意图和理解都有集合性,而映射就是它们之间的关联。关联理论中的语境和语用推理的互动就是映射法则。语用推理与社会心理和认识心理紧密相关。语用推理的弹性特征是接受美学的基础,是功能主义操作困境的源头。关注语用推理弹性将会给相关研究带来新的视角。 Relevance theory can be comprehended with sets and mappings in mathematics. Intent and understanding are all aggregative, and mapping is the relationship between them. The interaction between context and pragmatic reasoning in relevance theory is the mapping principle. Pragmatic reasoning and social psychology and cognitive psychology are closely related. The flexible feature of pragmatic reasoning is the basis of accepting aesthetics and is the source of functionalist operational dilemma. Concerned about the pragmatic reasoning flexibility will bring a new perspective to the relevant research.
