【摘要】：语言表达清晰和准确是语言使用者所追求的理想境界，但运用中的模糊性处处存在。模糊语言是自然语言的本质特征。自扎德（1963）提出“模糊集理论”以来，模糊现象日益引起关注。伍铁平教授认为，日常随处可见语言中的模糊现象，通过对模糊语言的掌握情况就能体现语言的交流能力。关于模糊语的定义上学者普遍认同一个定义，即模糊语言是指具有明确的内涵，模糊的外延，，或者清晰的语义，但是在语用中呈现出模糊特征的语言。模糊语言能充分体现语言的交流技巧和策略。对模糊语言的研究涉及语义,语用和修辞等领域，包括新闻、商贸、法律、外交等语域。然而，对在国际经济峰会有关新闻语言的模糊限制语研究，目前却不多见。本文回顾了关联理论中如“明示推理原则”、“最佳关联”等重要概念。这些概念对外交语言中模糊语言的理解起着重要的作用，为关联理论分析外交语言中模糊语言以及从认知角度阐释其功能起了铺垫作用。本文结合定量和定性研究方法，在关联理论的框架下，以G20峰会的领导人发言、新闻发布会等材料为素材，从词汇和句法层面阐释了各种类型的模糊限制语，分析说话者如何通过模糊限制语来表达自己的意图，听者如何通过推理达到最佳关联。研究发现，外交场合中的模糊限制语使语言显现的更加委婉含蓄，从而维护了听者的面子，避免了尴尬，巧妙地避免说话者承担不必要的责任，充分体现了外交语言的灵活性和外交家的睿智。
[Abstract]:The clarity and accuracy of language expression is the ideal state pursued by language users, but fuzziness exists everywhere. Fuzzy language is the essential feature of natural language. Since Zadeh (1963) put forward "fuzzy set theory", fuzzy phenomenon has attracted more and more attention. Professor Wu Tieping believes that the vague phenomenon in language can be seen everywhere, and the ability of communication can be reflected through the mastery of vague language. On the definition of fuzziness, it is generally accepted by scholars that vague language is a language with definite connotation, vague extension, or clear semantics, but it has a fuzzy feature in pragmatics. Fuzzy language can fully reflect the communication skills and strategies of language. The study of vague language involves semantic, pragmatic and rhetorical fields, including news, commerce, law, diplomacy and so on. However, there are few researches on vague hedges in news language at international economic summit. In this paper, some important concepts in relevance theory, such as "ostensive-inferential principle" and "optimal relevance", are reviewed. These concepts play an important role in the understanding of vague language in diplomatic language, which lays the groundwork for the relevance theory to analyze fuzzy language in diplomatic language and to explain its function from the perspective of cognition. Based on quantitative and qualitative research methods and the framework of relevance theory, this paper explains various types of hedges from lexical and syntactic levels, using G20 leaders' speeches, press conferences and other materials as materials. This paper analyzes how the speaker expresses his intention through hedges and how the listener achieves the best relevance through inference. The study found that the hedges in diplomatic situations make the language appear more tactful and implicit, thus preserving the face of the listener, avoiding embarrassment, and skillfully avoiding the speaker from shouldering unnecessary responsibilities. It fully reflects the flexibility of diplomatic language and the wisdom of diplomats.
