摘　　要：本文探讨一类特殊的转喻现象——逻辑转喻。研究认为逻辑转喻本质上是一种语义增生现象,即词语进入某种句法环境时衍生出附加的语义结构。作为一种系统存在的语言现象,逻辑转喻存在的理据是意义的整合性,其根本特征为部分规约性和局部可取消性。从语用学的含义视角透视这一特殊句法现象,切合我们关于一般会话含义本质的认识。作为一种话语类型,逻辑转喻获得了会话含义的地位,体现了语用学对语义识解过程的干涉。这不仅有助于我们澄清哲学和语言学中由来已久的语义/语用之争,对我们关于语言与思维关系的认识也同样具有启发意义。In this paper, a special case of metonymy--logical metonymy is discussed. The study holds that logical metonymy in essence is a phenomenon of semantic increment, i.e. , on entering certain syntactic environment, a word develops additional semantic structures. As a systematically existing linguistic phenomenon, logical metonymy finds its motivation in the integral nature of meaning. There are two essential features to it： partial conventionality and local defeasibility. These two features, when approached from the pragmatic perspective, are compatible with our understanding of the essence of generalized conversational implicature. As an utterance type, logical metonymy thereby assumes the role of implicanre, with its manifestation of pragmatic intrusion into semantic construal. The exploration of logical metonymy can not only clarify the long-standing semantics/pragmatics debate in philosophy and linguistics, but also shed new light on our understanding of the relationship between language and thought.
