An Analysis of Pragmatic Features of "Inferior" Sentences from a Subjective Perspective

As a special contrast sentence, "inferior" sentence contains two meanings of comparison content and comparison result, so it can express both the meaning of objective proposition and the speaker's subjective view. This paper finds that, from the perspective of "subjectivity", "inferior" sentences have two pragmatic features: one is to express discursive information, which is a representation of the speaker's perspective; Second, it embodies the functions of assertion, suggestion and evaluation of speech acts, which is the embodiment of the integration of the speaker's "emotion" and "cognition".

Abstract

As a special contrast sentence, "inferior" sentence contains two meanings of comparison content and comparison result, so it can express both the meaning of objective proposition and the speaker's subjective view. This paper finds that, from the perspective of "subjectivity", "inferior" sentences have two pragmatic features: one is to express discursive information, which is a representation of the speaker's perspective; Second, it embodies the functions of assertion, suggestion and evaluation of speech acts, which is the embodiment of the integration of the speaker's "emotion" and "cognition".
