This article aims to expand the concept of fixedness in language from stable autonomous structures to socially shared patterns of communication. The study examined conversational utterances that sounded strange or ‘unnatural’ to members of a speech community and explored the reasons behind such intuitive perceptions. Some of these utterances contradicted the community members’ expectations based on sedimented patterns of linguistic resources of various sizes and associated conventional meanings beyond dictionary definitions (i.e. cognitive frame). Others challenged their expectations concerning positional fitness and socio-relational concerns (i.e. interactional frame). The observed expectations for sedimented patterns of communication likely result from a lifetime of experience talking and hearing about the world around them in ways that are accepted by other members of the speech community. The dynamic perspective on fixedness is particularly meaningful for context-dependent languages like Japanese that rely heavily on unexpressed shared knowledge in co-constructing meanings and actions.

对“自然”谈话方式的期望:关于谈话固定性的上下文相关观点

本文旨在将语言中固定性的概念从稳定的自主结构扩展到社会共享的交流模式。该研究检查了对语音社区成员来说听起来奇怪或“不自然”的对话话语,并探讨了这种直觉感知背后的原因。其中一些话语与社区成员基于各种规模的语言资源的沉积模式以及超出词典定义(即认知框架)的相关常规含义的期望相矛盾。其他人质疑他们对位置适应性和社会关系问题(即互动框架)的期望。观察到的对沉淀的交流模式的期望可能源于一生以言语社区其他成员接受的方式谈论和聆听周围世界的经验。固定性的动态视角对于像日语这样的依赖于上下文的语言特别有意义,这些语言在共同构建意义和行动时严重依赖未表达的共享知识。 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
