1.5.5 interrelationship of utterance meaning and force
there are two components of speaker meaning--utterance meaning and force, the two components of speaker meaning are closely related, but not inseparable.
e.g. A:It's cold here. B:yes,it's so cold. C:“the weather is so hot outside." D:“i am cold" Do you know what does D mean?
1.5.3 understanding force but not utterance meaning
1.6.2 utterance iபைடு நூலகம்terpretation
The utterance interpretation definition of pragmatics focuses almost exclusively on the process of interpretation from the point of view of the hearer.
eg. Is that your car?
Is the speaker expressing admiration or expressing scorn? Is it a complaint that your car is blocking the drive? Is the speaker request a lift into town?

Definitions and background
III Semantics and pragmatics Pragmatics is the study of all those aspects of meaning not captured in a smenatic theory. Or, as Gazdar(1979:2) has put it, assuming that semantics limited to the statement of truth conditions. Pragmatics has as its topic those aspects of the meaning of utterances which cannot be accounted for by straightforward reference to the truth conditions of the sentences uttered. Put crudely: PRAGMATICS=MEANING— TRUTH CONDITIONS.
Definitions and background
IVAspect of speech situations 1.Addressers or addressees 2.The context of an utterance One way of embarking upon the analysis of context is to ask what kinds of knowledge a fluent speaker of a language must possess in order to produce and understand contextually appropriate and comprehensible utterances in that language. Let us list some of these:
Context 英语语用学 ppt课件
physical:
the conversation occurs in a library • epistemic: • libraries are quiet places • linguistic: • sarcastic tone of voice (intonation cues are linguistic) • social context: • you have the right to ask someone to be quiet in a
place where people are supposed to be quiet, especially if their rule-breaking is injurious to the needs of others, which overrides the social norm of not giving orders to total strangers.
d. Visiting aunts can be boring. aunts who are visiting / paying a visit to aunts
e. Mr. Webster, the amiable priest, is going to marry Jane at the church. take Jane as his wife / preside over Jane’s wedding

• John is a genius( a mental prodigy; an enormous intellect; a big brain; an exceptionally clever human being).
conversation, in which implicated messages are frequently involved.
• In daily conversations people do not usually say things but tend to imply them. The word “implicature” is used to refer to the extra meaning that is not explicitly expressed in the utterance. In making a conversation, the participants must first of all be willing to cooperate; otherwise, it would not be possible for them to carry on the talk. This general principle is called the cooperative principle : “make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.”

• (1) Mary’s dog is cute. (=p)
• (2) Mary has a dog. (=q)
• (3) p >> q
• When we produce the opposite of the sentence in (1) by negating it (=NOT p), as in (3), we find that the relationship of presupposition doesn’t change. That is, the same proposition q, repeated as (4), continues to be presupposed by NOT p, as shown in (5).
Entailment-----is sth that logically follows from what is asserted in the utterance. -----Sentences, not speakers, have entailments.
• How to distinguish them?
b is the entailment of a. c is the presupposition of a.---- a >> c
• Mary’s brother bought three horses.
The speaker has the following presuppositions:
• a entails b on two conditions: If a is true, b is true. If a is false, b is true, or b is false.
• a presupposes b on two conditions: If a is true, b is true. If a is false, b is still true.

Entailment and presupposition
• The differences between them
Presupposition---is something the speaker assumes to be case prior to making an utterance
---Speaker, not sentence, have presupposition. ---Speaker assumes it is known by listeners.
These entailments follow from the sentence, regardless of whether the speaker’s beliefs are right or wrong. They are communicated without being said.
Types of presupposition
• In many discussion of the concept, presupposition is treated as relationship between two propositions. If we say that the sentence in (1) contains the proposition p and the sentence in (2) contains the proposition q, then, using the symbol >> to mean ‘presuppose’, we can represent the relationship as in (3).
