答案：

1.Inference means that we often infer or make guesses as to what the speaker intends to mean when he

says something

2.It refers to the language that surrounds or accompanies a piece of utterance or discourse under

analysis.

3.Pragmatics studies the factors that govern our choice of language in social interaction and the effects

of our choice on others.

4.Appropriacy means that people should say the right thing to the right person with the right manner at

the right place and in the right situation.

5.Indirect meaning is the meaning that people intend to convey. It is also termed as the communicative

meaning or contextual meaning.

6.Politeness is showing awareness of other’s public self-image. Usually politeness can be understood as

various means that people use in either situations of social closeness or situations of social distance.

7.Face wants refer to one’s face expectations. Normally people expect that others will respect their face

in communication.

8.Non-linguistic context refers to the type of communicative event (for example, joke, story, lecture,

greeting, conversation); the topic; the purpose of the event; the setting including location of day, time and physical aspects of the situation; the participants and the relationships between them; the background knowledge etc.

9.Deixis is a group of words indicating person, time, place, etc. It is originated from a Greek verb,

meaning “point”, “show” and “indicate” in English.

10．Conversational implicature is the meaning implied in a conversation. Usually it indicates the speaker’s communicative purpose.

11. Context can be subdivided into linguistic context and non-linguistic context. The former refers to the

language that surrounds or accompanies a piece of utterance or discourse under analysis, it refers to the linguistic elements that are around an utterance. The latter includes: the type of communicative event (for example, joke, story, lecture, greeting, conversation); the topic; the purpose of the event; the setting including location of day, time and physical aspects of the situation; the participants and the relationships between them; the background knowledge etc.

12. Traditionally, people date the invention of the co-operative principle back to the work of the American

philosopher named H. Paul Grice. The principle includes:

The Maxim of Quality

try to make your contribution one that is true, specifically:

a)do not say what you believe to be false

b)do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence

The Maxim of Quantity

a)make your contribution as informative as is required for the current purpose of the exchange

b)do not make your contribution more informative than required

The Maxim of Relevance

make your contributions relevant

The Maxim of Manner

be perspicuous, and specifically

a)avoid obscurity

b)avoid ambiguity

c)be brief

d) be orderly

In short, these maxims specify what participants have to do in order to conduct communication in a maximally efficient, rational, co-operative way. To do so, they should speak sincerely, relevantly and clearly, while providing sufficient information.

13. By presupposition, we refer to a meaning taken as given which does not therefore need to be asserted.

It has been variously defined as “semantic presupposition” (non-defeasible, contributes to the truth-conditional meaning of the sentence), and “pragmatic presupposition”(cancellable while inconsistent with speaker/hearer knowledge about the world). Pragmatic Presupposition can be understood as another type of pragmatic inference。

14. Generally speaking, most languages have a basic system of reckoning and measuring time through natural cycles of day and night, lunar months, seasons and years. This is the calendric use of time units. Such time units can be used calendrically to locate events in ‘absolute’ time relative to ‘absolute’ time origin. For such calendric time units, there are fixed beginning and ending. For example, a calendar year is made up by calendar months from January, February, March, April, May … to December while a calendar month, March, for example, consists of calendar days like March 1, March 2, 3 until the last day of that month. For a calendar year, the beginning is always fixed on January and the ending on December. And for a calendar month, the beginning is always the first day of that month while the ending is always the last day of that month.
