善意谎言的认知语用探究

善意谎言是现实生活中一种有用的甚至是不可或缺的交际策略。试以关联理论（RT）和理想化认知模型理论（ICM）为视角来探讨善意谎言解读过程中的心理机制，ICM理论提供了一种从狭义的理论上解读善意谎言的认知框架，而关联理论可以具体把这种理论上的认知框架应用到善意谎言实际分析中，从而达到理论和实践完美结合来解释具体语言现象。同时指出，RT与ICM在对善意谎言的解读中具有互补性，两者结合起来对善意谎言具有更强的解释力。为此，通过具体分析提出了一个RT—ICM认知语用工作模型。

A Cognitive Pragmatic Inquiry into White Lies

The white lie is a pervasive and ubiquitous phenomenon in the sense that we may come across it everywhere in our daily life. From the perspectives of the Relevance Theory and the Idealized Cognitive Models Theory, this paper aims to probe into the mental mechanisms involved in the process of the white lie interpreta- tion. The paper proposes an assumption that ICM theory provides us with the theoretic framework of white lies in a narrow sense, and the Relevance Theory can apply the cognitive framework of this theory into the actual analy- sis of white lies. It also maintains that RT and ICM can supplement each other to help the understanding of a white lie. They have more explanatory power when they are combined. This paper, therefore, proposes a cogni- tive pragmatic working model： RT- ICM model.
