A Study on Irony under the Framework of Relevance Theory：
a Case Analysis of Pride and Prejudice

Abstract: The thesis would take the dynamic research on irony, irony from the literature works in particular, within the framework of Relevance Theory and prove the rationality and feasibility of understanding irony especially understanding the non-researcher fabricated language materials.
 The Relevance Theory holds that verbal communication is a process of mutual manifestness; the hearer intends to interpret the speech through inference and contextual assumptions. According to Sperber and Wilson, the Echoic-interpretation Theory of irony defines irony as a multiple echoic interpretive use, in which the speaker and the hearer dissociate them from the opinion echoed and the opinion always accompanies with ridicule or scorn. Irony is a significant feature in Pride and Prejudice and the using of irony not only creates characters’ personalities, reveals the theme but also makes the story much more humorous and witty. In order to prove Sperber and Wilson’s account of irony is a much more reasonable cognitive-pragmatic foundation, this thesis would take some typical examples from Pride and Prejudice, and analyze irony in these examples from macro and micro view. What’s more, the analysis can also to prove that interpreting irony under the framework of Echoic-interpretation Theory in almost all cases is reliable and plausible.

關(guān)聯(lián)理論框架下的反語研究——《傲慢與偏見》個案分析

摘要：本論文將以斯泊伯和威爾遜的關(guān)聯(lián)理論為框架，對反語進(jìn)行動態(tài)研究特別是通過對文學(xué)文本中反語的分析，并證實運(yùn)用關(guān)聯(lián)理論解析反語具有合理性和靈活性，特別是對非研究者主觀臆造的語言材料。
 關(guān)聯(lián)理論認(rèn)為語言交際是一個由認(rèn)知到推理的互明過程，聽話人通過推理并通過建構(gòu)語境理解話語。斯泊伯和威爾遜提出在回聲提示論中認(rèn)為反語是對先前意義的回聲式闡釋，傳達(dá)說者對該話語意義的貶抑性態(tài)度。在小說《傲慢與偏見》中，奧斯汀靈活巧妙地運(yùn)用反語，不僅塑造了鮮活的個性人物，揭示小說主題，而且使小說更加的幽默，機(jī)智和詼諧。為了證實斯泊伯和威爾遜的關(guān)聯(lián)理論為反語的研究提供了更為合理的認(rèn)知語用學(xué)依據(jù)，本論文將從小說中摘選最具典型性的例子，從宏觀和微觀角度來分析。同時證明了反語回聲提示論對幾乎所有反語的分析都是合理的。
