语法与词汇 3.In Chinese when someone breaks a bowl accidentally in a formal occasion, the host will probably say "岁岁(碎碎)平安"to avoid the negative effect of this sudden event. What function does it perform?
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】语言的施为功能(performative function)主要是为了改变人的社会地位。如婚礼、判刑、为孩子祈福、首航仪式上对船的命名、诅咒敌人等。另外,在某些特殊的或宗教仪式中可以延伸到对事物的控制。
