  本課簡(jiǎn)介

  本文作者指出生活中有許多不確定的事物,這種種的不確定支配著我們的語(yǔ)言。我們的日常話語(yǔ)中很多 probably,many,soon,great,little一類的詞。不確定的語(yǔ)言主要有三類。一是如probably,possibly, surely一類詞,代表了一種主觀的可能,是可定量的。二是如many,often,soon一類詞,這類詞雖可定量,但他們表示的是一個(gè)知之不確的數(shù) 量。三是如fat,rich,drunk一類詞,這類詞不可能轉(zhuǎn)化為任何可接受的數(shù)目,因?yàn)椴煌娜速x予它們不同的價(jià)值觀。

  在特定的上下文中,這些詞是有什么意義?與使用者的年齡有何關(guān)聯(lián)?作者告訴我們?nèi)齻€(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果。一,數(shù)量取決于所涉及的事物;二,所涉及的事物總量的大小會(huì)影響到一種說(shuō)法被賦予的數(shù)值。三,年齡的影響極為明顯。
