关联理论在听力理解中的运用

听是人类获得信息的重要手段,也是提高其语言交际能力的中心环节。对人类交际的关联理论进行探讨,并结合话语交际实践,提出语言交际是一个明示推理过程,是必须依靠推理来进行的新的语用学观念。而听力理解的目的就是从话语所提供的语境中进行语用推理,力求语境效果,寻求最佳关联。在此基础上,对关联理论在听力理解中的运用进行了探析。

Relevance Theory and Listening Comprehension

Listening is an important means to obtain information and it is also the key to improve one's language communicative ability.Combining communication with cognitive linguistics,relevance theory argues that language communication is an ostensive-inferential process,where inference plays a vital role.Similarly,listening comprehension is a process in which listeners make pragmatic inference according to the context so as to achieve contextual effect and optimal relevance.In this case,we can safely apply relevance theory to listening comprehension.
