Incomplete Utterance and Relevance

この論文をさがす

説明

In this paper, we will be concerned with the hearer's interpretation of the elements which the speaker left unsaid in the case of an incomplete utterance and will consider how the hearer develops such an unfinished sentence into a relevant enough proposition for its interpretation. We will argue that even when the speaker breaks off in the middle of a sentence, the hearer will complete what the speaker intended to communicate and interpret it as explicit content of the utterance based on the principle of relevance.
