REBECCA BARRY and ANDREW JOHN MERRISON Language - in - Use : a Clarkian Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
briefly (Austin’s Speech Act Theory, which claims that language use can be equated with performing actions linguistically; and Grice’s Cooperative Principle and concomitant conversational maxims (cf. Reading 1.2), which espouse the view that language use involves rational inferential processes). Other concepts that are presupposed include the following. An Adjacency Pair (cf. Reading 1.1) is a pair of utterances that are (normally) placed contiguously (adjacently). The actions within the two utterances fit together to form an ordered sequence (what Clark calls a minimal joint project of proposal and acceptance) where the First part sets up certain expectations about what the Second part might be. Examples of pairs include: Question–Answer; Blame–Denial; Compliment–Thanks; Offer–Acceptance. 2
