격률의 의도적 위반이 유발하는 함축의 귀추법적 추론

초록

This paper shows how abduction can be used to explain some typical cases of implicature arising due to flouting of maxims. Following Davis (1998, 2005), some critical issues are first raised and discussed with the prevailing theory of implicature proposed by Grice (1975) and his followers. It is suggested that some generalized patterns for the inferential processes involving implicature need to be augmented, especially with respect to the way some relevant background information is introduced and made use of. Then, after introducing abduction with a representative case of its application to language interpretation (Hobbs, et al. 1993), this paper shows how abduction can provide a more precise and generalized mechanism for the inferential processes, and how some typical cases of implicature arising from maxim floutings can be explained in the mechanism.
