摘 要: 婉曲话语所陈述的有关事态有些不是现实的,有些是不真实的或不完全真实的,有些是不直接地明说而要拐个弯暗示地说,有美化､粉饰､回避成分,以求减少听话者的反感或刺激以达到委婉的目的,因而令婉曲话语的表述同实际想要指称的事物在质或量上有所出入｡那么应该如何为婉曲话语这方面的“非真”的合理性做出辩护,或者说如何从求真的视角来审视婉曲话语?对此我们的思路是:在哲学文献中梳理出比较合理的“真”之观点来认识婉曲话语是如何与“真”相关联的;同时分析婉曲话语的生成过程,看这个过程是如何从原用语同其婉曲话语的因果蕴涵关系中求其真的｡ 关 键 词: 婉曲话语 求真视域 生成 因果蕴涵 作者简介: 徐盛桓,河南大学外语学院教授、博士生导师。主要研究兴趣为认知语言学、语用学、语义学,专著有《语用问题研究》(河南大学出版社,1996)、《会话含义理论的新发展》(河南大学出版社,1996),发表期刊论文100多篇,堪称国内外国语语言学研究的领军人物。 (本文刊于《外语教学与研究》2015年第47卷第3期P.323-332) Causal implication and the generating of tactful speech XU Shenghuan Abstract: The events and affairs described in the so-called ‘Tactful Speech’(TS)(euphemism)are in most cases neither true, nor realistic, with them being somewhat prettified, whitewashed, in order to avoid anything awkward, so as to reduce the receiversantipathy and achieve mild and roundabout effects. This being the case, there must be differences between the description given in the TS and the naked truth of the events and affairs actually alleged by the TS. With this in mind, how should we argue for the rationality of TS, or to put in other words, what should we do to face the veritism of TS? In this regard, our line of thinking is this: Firstly, to seek for a way in philosophical works to understand how TS is truth-linked with the reality, and secondly, to analyze the generation of TS from its original expression by causal implication so as to know more about its veritism.
