摘要
直接意义是语言学意义,它具有非修辞性、完全合成性、非语境依赖性的特点,语义具有真值性。间接意义与此相反,它是超越语言学意义的,它的特征是修辞性、间接性、推导性、非合成性和语境依赖性。本文探讨了直接意义/间接意义二分法存在几个问题,并提出了话语意义的3个层次,即语言学意义、心理语言意义和交际意义。由于语言的隐喻性及隐喻性程度(约定俗成度)不一样,话语的意义是从直接意义到间接意义的连续体。
Literal meaning is linguistic meaning, which is characterized nonfigurative,fully compositional, context-independent and truth conditional. Nonliteral meaning is extralinguistic, figurative, noncompositional and context-dependent. This paper made an in-depth probe into the problems arising from the dichotomy of literal v.s. nonliteral and suggested three aspects of meaning： linguistic meaning, psycholinguistic meaning and communicative meaning. Due to the degree of metaphoricity, there exists a continuum from literal meaning to nonliteral meaning.
