【摘要】 委婉语的解读过程涉及源域与目标域之间概念特征的迁移,也可能涉及抽象的空位概念特征的迁移,空位概念特征潜在的终端值都是迁移过程中潜在的竞争者。概念特征(或空位概念特征)迁移能否发生,取决于语言形式字面意义与委婉意义的可及性对比。委婉意义的可及性越强,该语言形式越有可能被理解为委婉语。在具体的语用过程中,说话人可以根据语用意图增强委婉意义的可及性,引导听话人把该语言形式理解为委婉语。更多还原

【Abstract】 Interpretation of euphemism involves transfer of conceptual features or schematic conceptual feature slots from source to target.Potential terminal fillers of a conceptual feature slot are competitors in the process of transfer.Whether or not the transfer occurs depends on the contrast of accessibility between literal interpretation and euphemistic interpretation.The stronger the accessibility of euphemistic interpretation is,the more liable that listeners will understand a particular expression as euphemism.In actual conversations,speakers may strengthen accessibility of euphemistic interpretation in accordance with her conversational intention to direct listeners’ understanding.更多还原
