An Application of Conversational Implicature Theory to L2 Listening Teaching

摘要

In second language( L2) listening,listeners find it difficult to figure out the speaker 's implied meaning correctly.Based on Grice's conversational implicature theory and Anderson's three-stage language comprehension model and also based on the cognitive processes in listening comprehension described by Vandergrift,the author attempts to build a implicature inference listening comprehension model( the CT model for short),and conducts an empirical study to testify its effectiveness in L2 listening teaching.
