@article{oai:glim-re.repo.nii.ac.jp:00001084, author = {岡田, 聡宏 and Okada, Toshihiro}, issue = {1}, journal = {言語 文化 社会, Language, Culture and Society}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, In this paper I reject the idea that figures of speech such as aρosi()pesis or silence, accumu la tion, and aporia are departures from the norm or breaches of a rule or maxim of communication. I believe, on the contrary, that they are part of our ordinary and natural language use, which need no special treatment. It is assumed that the utterance interpretation including the comprehension of tropes depends upon the principle of relevance, and the hearer/reader’s task is only to find an interpretation which is consistent with the principle of relevance, one which has enough cognitive effects to be worth the hearer/reader’s attention without putting him to any gratuitous  effort to obtain them. Figures of speech are not an exception. In most cases silence does not have an explicature and its interpretation mainly depends upon the recovery of implicatures. Accumulation is a figure to accumulate or repeat the similar expressions excessively, which causes an increase in processing efforts. These extra efforts, however, are outweighed by an increase in cognitive effects achieved through the recovery of the explicature, which may then encourage the reader to extend the context and thereby add implicatures. Aporia is interpreted in the same way. What is common to all these cases is that the interpretation process requires some effort, but this extra effort is outweighed by a gain in cognitive effects. Thus, the interpretation chosen by the reader is the one which is consistent with the principle of relevance.}, pages = {1--22}, title = {沈黙・列挙・ためらい : 関連性からみた黙説法・列叙法・疑惑法}, year = {2003}, yomi = {オカダ, トシヒロ} }
