副词“还”的语义——语用接口研究

Adverb hai locates the semantic focus towards the lower end of the pragmatic scale,indicating that the proposition that is unlikely to hold is still true.The socalled'decrement'and'increment'use of hai actually correspond to scalar implicatures of different levels.In practical use,the scalar relationship implied in'hai'is closely related to its subjective and counter-expectation use.The theory of scalar implicature provides a better understanding of the semantic-pragmatic interface of Chinese adverbs represented by hai.
