【学术预告】京师哲学讲坛——2014年第4期
时间：2014年3月26日9:00-11:00
地点：主楼A805
题目：Convention and Imagination: Re-visiting the Pragmatic-Semantic Divide
主讲人：Prof. Ernest Lepore
主持人：江怡教授
摘 要：
Should a speaker ask at a dinner table, “Can I have a burger?” you can reasonably infer she wants an order a burger. Should she insist, “Oil prices doubled and demand for consumer goods plunged,” you can reasonably infer the plunge followed the doubling. Should you set out to describe a magic act with, “And then he put the red handkerchief on the side of the table,” and your skeptical friend interject, “Well, it looked red,” you can reasonably infer she disagrees with you about its color. What is it about each of these exchanges that permits you to derive such a precise understanding of the speaker? How much of this understanding derives from knowledge of your interlocutor, and how much from knowledge of language? A familiar answer to these questions follows H.P. Grice in establishing a division between two qualitatively different domains of knowledge: semantics, concerned with knowledge of language, and pragmatics, concerned with explaining the behavior of rational agents, that is, a division between linguistics and psychology. Semantics describes the arbitrary ways in which expressions are interpreted by rules of language. And pragmatics accounts for interpretations that go beyond conventional meaning. To identify these, principles of rational cooperation governing conversation must be invoked. For Grice, pragmatic inference plays a crucial role in accounting for the rich and detailed interpretations faith which I began. I want to challenge his assumption. To this end, I am going to document a wide range of conventional knowledge—over and above semantics as traditionally conceived—that interlocutors need in order to derive the interpretations of utterances in context.
