中文摘要

模糊性是一种广泛存在于人类语言交际中的语言现象。

然而,语言的模糊性并不会阻碍交际的正常进行。

相反,它确保了交际的有效正常运行,并增强了语言表达的灵活性和多样性。

作为外交工作的载体,外交语言可体现一国的外交政策并影响其外交关系,也是外交官在处理对外关系时的一项有力武器。

因此,如何恰当使用外交语言便显得至关重要。

本文首先分析了模糊语言的表现形式。

再基于语用学理论框架,对外交场合的模糊语言进行分析。

文章得出结论:

模糊语言的语用功能是为了符合礼貌原则,提供适量信息,保护自我,表达立场并留有余地,从而对外交带来积极影响。

Introduction

Since ancient times,vaguelanguagehasattracted people's attention. Thoughtheydo notadvancetheconcept of vagueness,theyunderstandtheimportanceof it. And now,vaguelanguagebecomesquiteuniversalinhuman languagecommunication.L.A.Zadehhas indicatedthat“objectsencounteredinthe real world,usuallydo nothave specifiedboundary”(伍铁平1999:

34,translatedbytheauthor).Inourdailylife,vagueconceptsexisteverywhereandpeoplecannotalwaysusepreciseconceptsinsteadof vagueconcept(伍铁平1999). Fromwhat hesaid,thesignificanceofvaguelanguage canbeseenclearly.

Diplomacy (fromLatindiploma, meaninganofficialdocument,whichinturn derivesfrom theGreekδίπλωμα,meaning a folded paper/document)is the artandpractice of conductingnegotiationsbetween representativesofgroupsorstates(wikipedia). Generally speaking,different countrieshavedifferent opinionsonsomebigissues, anditoftenreflectsthebasicinterestsofanation.Sohow touseproperwordsto expressbecomesakeypoint. Furthermore,diplomaticlanguage couldnot bestraightforwardinmostcase, sovague languagecomes tobethebest choice.

AsHeZiranhasindicated vaguenessshouldbestudied frompragmaticaspect,whichmeansanalyzingtheuseofvaguelanguage andunderstandinghowit makeshuman communicationoperate smoothly.Otherwise,itdoesn'tmakeany sense(何自然2000).Therefore,the pragmaticfunctionofvague language indiplomaticlanguageshouldbe focused on. And this paperdiscussesvaguelanguagefromthree aspects:

anintroductionto vaguelanguage,itsembodimentand itspragmaticfunctionsin diplomaticlanguage.

 An IntroductiontoVagueLanguage

In our dailylife,weoftenuse some blurrywords tocommunicatewith others.For example,ifyouasksomeone “todayis coldor not”andheorshe says“a little cold”,heor she is answeringwithvagueness, becauseonecannotsaywhat“alittlecold”exactlyis.However,thelistenerscanget theinformationwhich hewants.That means peoplefrequentlyusevaguelanguageindailycommunication withoutrealizing it.However,bydoing so,people can easilybeunderstood by others.Fromsomeaspects,itis interesting thatwhyvague languagecansimplifytheconversation.Tounderstandthis,thispapertriesto workouthowitworks.

1.1TheOriginofVagueLanguage

The studyof vagueness may be tracedback toancientGreece.Atthat timeGreekscholars begantostudyvaguelanguagefrom theperspective ofphilosophyandsemantics.

Thefirstonetonoticethephenomenon ofvaguelanguageisMegarianSchoolwho broughtvaguenessinto philosophy.Eubullides,arepresentativeofMegarianSchool,hasadvanced thefamoussortiesparadoxof theheap.“It istruethatone graindoesnotconstituteaheap.Supposefor anynumber“n”,ifit does notformaheap,then “n+1”grain alsodonotformaheap.Therefore, nomatterhow manygrainsexisthere theydo notform aheap”.(伍铁平1999:

134 ,translatedby theauthor)

Thoughthis inferenceseemstobetrueandreasonable, itis totallyunacceptable. Thereasonisthatthe conceptofheapis fuzzy. Noone canclearly saywhat aheapofgrainis.In otherwords,aheap ofgrain is avague concept.Onecannotjudgewhetheritis heap or not.We evencan'tuseadefinitenumber1,2,or3⋯todefineit.

ItisregrettedthatafterEubulidesthevaguenessin language hastobeignoredabouttwothousandyears.  Untilthetwentiethcentury,vague languageattractedscholars' attentionagain. Andin 1965,the publicationof“FuzzySets'’in Informationand ControlbyL.A.Zadeh has selectedtheword“Fuzzy”asthetermsofscientificconceptswhich indicatesthat“FuzzyTheoryhascomeintobeing”.(黎千驹2007:

11,translatedbytheauthor)

1.2TheDefinitionofVague Language

Pierce(1902)isoften consideredastheoriginatorofthenotionofvaguenessinlanguage.Hehasformulatedthenotioninarigorousway:

Apropositionisvaguewhere there arepossiblestatesofthingsconcerningwhichit is intrinsicallyuncertain whether,had they been contemplatedbythe speaker,hewouldhaveregardedthem asexcluded orallowedbythe proposition.Byintrinsically uncertain wemeannotuncertaininconsequenceofany ignorance oftheinterpreter,but becausethe speaker`shabitsoflanguagewereindeterminate;Sothatone dayhewouldregardthe propositionas excluding,anotherasadmitting, thosestatesofthings.Yetthismustbeunderstoodtohave referenceto whatmightbededuced fromaperfectknowledge of hisstateofmind;foritispreciselybecausethese questionsneverdid,ordid notfrequently,presentthemselves thathishabitremainedindeterminate.(ascited inChannell2000:

7)

In thispassage,Piercehasexplainedthatspeakersusuallyuseuncertain wordstoexpresswhattheywanttosay.The meaningofthewords will changeoncetheprerequisitechange.Forexample,there isa1.58-meter-highboy.Butwhetherwe cansay“Heis a tallboy”ornotdependson the situation.Compared witha5-year-oldboy,heis certainlytall.On thecontrary,comparedwith themalebasketball playersheis tooshort.Thisiscausedbythereisnoclearconceptof whatis“tall”.IntheOxfordAdvancedLearner'sEnglish-Chinesedictionary,theword“tall”hastwomeanings:

 one is “havingagreaterthanaverage height”,the otheris “usedtodescribeor ask abouttheheightofsb/sth” (霍恩比2009:
