TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "Analogise in Spontaneous Discourse"

This paper presents an analysis of analogies based on observations of oatural conversations. People's spontaneous use o f analogies provides Inslg~t into their implicit evaluation procedures for analogies. The treatment here, therefore, reveals aspects of analogical processing that is somewhat more difficult to see in an experimental context. The work involves explicit treatment of the discourse context in which analogy occurs. A major focus here is the formalization of the effects of analogy on discourse development. There is much rule-llke behavior in this process, both in underlying thematic development of the discourse and in the surface lir~ulstlc forms used. | Analogies in Spontaneous Discourse1 Rachel Relchman Harvard University and Bolt Beranek and Neuman Inc. Abstract This paper presents an analysis of analogies based on observations of natural conversations. People s spontaneous use of analogies provides insight into their Implicit evaluation procedures for analogies. The treatment here therefore reveals aspects of analogical processing that 13 somewhat more difficult to see In an experimental context. The uork involves explicit treatment of the discourse context In which analogy occurs. A major focus here is the formalization of the effects of analogy on discourse development. There 13 much rule-like behavior In this process both In underlying thematic development of the discourse and in the surface linguistic forms used In this development. Both these forms of regular behavior are discussed in terms of a hierarchical structuring of a discourse into distinct but related and linked context spaces. 1 Introduction People s use of analogies In conversation reveals a rich set of processing strategies. Consider the following example. Excerot 1 A 1. I think if you re going to marry someone In the 2. Hindu tradition you have to - Well you - They 3. say you give money to the family to the girl 4. but In essence you actually buy her. B 5. It s the same in the Western tradition. You 6. know you see these greasy fat millionaires going 7. around with film stars right They ve 8. essentially bought them by their status money . C 9. No but there the woman Is selling herself. 10. In these societies the woman Isn t selling 11. herself her parents are selling her. There are several Interesting things happening In this exchange. For example notice that the analogy 13 argued and discussed by the conversants and that In the argumentation c uses the close discourse deictic these1 to refer to the Initiating subject of the analogy and that she uses the far discourse deictic there to refer to the linearly closer analogous utterances.
