A Cross-linguistic Study on Connectives-Constraints on Implicatures or Explicatures?

摘要


In the relevance theoretic framework, the inferential process of utterance interpretation is generally divided into restorative process of explicatures and that of implicatures. In this paper, I make a comparison among English, Japanese and Chinese on connectives. I mainly focus on English connectives because, so and the counterparts in Japanese and Chinese. From the discussion I conclude that the sentence final particles (=SFPs) which correlate to the connectives in utterance, where higher-level explicatures are realized, are observed in Japanese and Chinese, but not in English.
