浅谈《老友记》中的模糊用语“模糊性”作为自然语言的基本特征在口头交流期间一直发挥着至关重要的作用。根据语料库语言学理论，我们将《老友记》全十季的所有台词作为我们的研究对象。我们可以称其为一个迷你语料库。《老友记》作为一部情景喜剧其中的对话都是非正式的。本文不仅对《老友记》中模糊语的生成方法、语用功能进行定性分析，并且运用统计软件对剧中类型模糊语出现的时间数量进行统计与分析。研究过程如下：首先从两个方面对模糊表达的生成方法进行了分析——“词义范围模糊”和“模糊限制语”，并获得了统计数据。然后我们将模糊表达分为六类：频率模糊语、人称模糊语、数量模糊语、表可能性的模糊语、表能动性的模糊语和表不确定性的模糊语（上面已经讨论过2个类别。）我们通过统计软件得到了每一类模糊语中每个词的出现次数的数据。这可以帮助我们更好地理解《老友记》中的台词。剧中出现次数超过500的模糊语有很多，比如"something","thing(s)","stuff","anything","maybe","about","around","like","Ithink","Iknow","Imean","some","little"等等。有了这些统计资料，人们在学习《老友记》的台词的同时就会更加关注模糊用语，还可以为语用学的进一步研究提供数据。此外，本文讨论了语用模糊所起的积极作用和消极作用。语用模糊在人们的口头交流中起着重要的作用。作者旨在对《老友记》这部经典情景喜剧的解读和对模糊用语的理解有所帮助。最后，作者希望本文的研究能为《老友记》中模糊用语的翻译提供一些有益的参考。关键词：模糊语；语用模糊；《老友记》；数据；作用Abstract"Vagueness",asabasicattributeofnaturallanguage,playsanimportantroleinverbalcommunication.Basedonthecorpuslinguisticstheory,theauthorwillusethespeechconversationsinFRIENDSforthewholetenseasonsasaresearchpair.Wecancallitasmallcorpus.Friendsasasitcom,ofwhichWordsareinformalspeechconversations.ThisarticlenotonlyqualitativelyanalyzesthemodeofproductionandpragmaticfunctionsofthevaguelanguageinthedialogueofFRIENDS,andusingastatisticalsoftware--Antconc3.2.2,developedbyLaurenceAnthonyonFRIENDS,thestatisticsandanalysisofthenumberofoccurrencesofdifferentkindsofvaguelanguage.Inthecourseofthestudy,firstofall,weanalyzethegenerationmethodsofvagueexpressionfromtheperspectivesof"scopevagueness"and"hedges".Andusethesoftwaretocountthenumberofoccurrencesofrelatedwords.Thenfollowdifferentattributesclassifyvaguelanguageintosixcategories:VagueFrequencyExpressions,VaguePersonalExpressions,VagueQuantifyingExpressions,VagueLikelihoodExpressions,VagueModalVerbsandVagueIndefiniteExpressions.(Othertwotypesarealreadymentionedabove.)Thegenerationanduseoflingoarementionedinstatisticsandanalysis.)Therearemanyvaguephrasesappearingmorethan500times,suchas:"something","thing(s)","stuff","anything","maybe","about","around","like","Ithink","Iknow","Imean","some","little"andsoon.Withthesestatistics,peoplearetryingtofigureoutwhenlearningthelinesofFRIENDS.Andtheywillpaymoreattentiontothesevagueexpressions.Andthiscanprovidesomedataforfurtherresearchonpragmatics.Atthesametime,theauthoralsodiscussesthepositiveandnegativeeffectsofpragmaticvagueness.Pragmaticvaguenessinpeople'swordsplaysanirreplaceablerole.Wehopethatitcouldshedalightontheresearchofpragmaticvaguenessandgiveseveralimplicationstotheinterpersonalcommunication.Moreover,thevaguelanguageinFRIENDSprovidessomeusefulreferencesforpropertranslation.Keywords:pragmaticvagueness;vagueexpressions;FRIENDS;statistics;functionContentsIntroduction------------------------------------------------------------------------2Part1LiteratureReview-----------------------------------------------------41.1A...
