连贯与误解

该文在探讨话语中出现的偏离式连贯的基础上，考察了连贯和误解的关系。连贯和误解都以听话人为中心，都以言语理解为基础。有时听话人赋予话语之间的连贯与说话人期待的连贯不重合，我们称之为偏离式连贯，它往往使得话语中的误解不易被发现。偏离式连贯的存在更加证实了“连贯是程度问题而非是否问题，连贯与不连贯并非泾渭分明”。如果偏离式连贯被认可为连贯，那么话语连贯不能保证误解不发生，连贯只是无误解的必要条件而非充分条件。

Coherence and Misunderstanding

The paper, based on explaining diverging coherence, aims at exploring the relationship between coherence and misunderstanding. Both misunderstanding and coherence are hearer-oriented and comprehension-based. By diverging coherence is meant the situation where the coherence attributed by hearers to the discourse fails to match the coherence expected by speakers, which makes misunderstanding in the discourse less easily identified. The existence of diverging coherence further proves that coherence is a matter of degree rather than that of degree, and that there is no clear-cut line between coherence and non_coherence. If diverging coherence is considered as one form of coherence, discourse coherence cannot ensure no misunderstanding. Discourse coherence is not sufficient but necessary for correct understanding.
