영어 부정에 대한 화용론적 접근 = The Pragmatic Approach on English Negation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper arguing againist the generative transformational model, is attempted to show a pragmatic approach in explaining English negatives. As we know well, the generative transformational model is based on autonomus syntax, which is thought to be inappropiate in explaining many linguistic phenomena. Many kinds of explanatory paramaters are necessary for the complete model, and one of them is pragmatic consideration.
In chapter 2, I attempt to show briefly how negation in natural language is different from negation in propositional logic. Many theories such as Russell`s, Keenan`s and Kempson`s are examined but they turn out incomplete. This means negation in natural language contains an additional element quite different from logic, which is called discouse presupposition.
In chapter 3, traditional grammar is examined to give the evidence for the pragmatic approach. Of course in traditional grammar, abstract generalization on negation is possible to some extents but it is quite impossible to explain the complexity of negation.
In chapter 4, English negative sentences are examined in terms of definiteness, scope of ambiguity and discourse. The result shows that negatives are more marked in terms of pragmatic presuppositions, as compared to affirmatives. That is to say, nagatives are uttered in a context where corresponding affirmatives have already been discussed or where the speaker assumes the hear`s belief in the corresponding affirmative.
Finally negatives are complex and more restricted in their utterances than affirmatives. So for the comprehensive research on negation, other kinds of paramaters such as psychological, social and ontological facts should be considered.
