| 释义 | phatic adjective language specializeduk /ˈfæt.ɪk/ us /ˈfæt̬.ɪk/ Phatic language has a social purpose, rather than being intended to give information: （语言）交际性的;交流感情的 phatic communication/utterances交流感情的通信／言谈 the phatic meaning of "How are you?"“你好吗”的交际性意义 Examples of phaticphatic The contextual functions of an indexical are inseparable from its expressive and phatic functions. These exchanges illustrate the sorts of phenomena to which the term ' phatic ' might be applied. Rather, it constitutes par t of a ritual, almost phatic, way of continuing with the sequence of interaction. But, in this context neither the phatic nor the non-phatic interpretation is likely to be very salient. The more phatic implications a communicative act has, the more phatic it is. What distinguishes phatic implicatures is that they depend to a greater extent on the communicative intention than on the proposition expressed by the utterance. The third intuition was that phatic interpretations become more likely when the social relationship between the interlocutors is in doubt. Our account presupposed that these contextual assumptions made phatic interpretations more relevant (and non-phatic assumptions less relevant) than they would otherwise have been. In section 4 we consider cases where cognitive effects similar to those caused by phatic interpretations are conveyed but not ostensively communicated. Moreover, utterances which are conventionally phatic may have non-phatic interpretations in some contexts. So far, our discussion has relied on the view that phatic implications are communicated ostensively. They might have a case if phatic communication were not an already established and widely accepted technical term. We can easily imagine a context where the latter requires minimal processing (certainly less than the former), yet the former is clearly the more phatic. Note that this observation is independent of, and therefore evidentially stronger than, our conceptual analysis of phatic communication. Thus, diminutives are most likely to occur in phatic communication and vocative speech acts (subject to further pragmatic constraints). These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
