Abstract

This study explores the employment of disclaimers as metapragmatic devices in online interpersonal interaction on a Chinese social networking site, Weibo. Previous studies discussed meta-negation disclaimers and meta-prohibition disclaimers. This study establishes a new type of disclaimer: meta-condition disclaimers. It examines the forms and functions of the three types of disclaimers. Prior studies explained disclaimers as either prospective moves or retrospective moves. This study further introduces disclaimers as conjunctive moves, which bridge the speaker’s ongoing communicative behaviour. Also, it investigates the communicative purposes of using disclaimers, revealing that disclaimers are mainly employed by Chinese netizens to convey criticism. Furthermore, this research probes into the underlying cultural factors of employing disclaimers. It uncovers certain values ingrained in Chinese culture, such as ren (kindheartedness), yi (righteousness) and li (politeness). The study contributes to a global understanding of disclaimers and could provide some insights into online rapport management.
从元语言的角度探讨中文社交网站上的免责声明
本研究探讨了免责声明作为元语用手段在中国社交网站微博的在线人际互动中的应用。之前的研究讨论了元否定免责声明和元禁止免责声明。本研究建立了一种新型免责声明:元条件免责声明。本研究探讨了这三种免责声明的形式和功能。之前的研究将免责声明解释为前瞻性举动或回顾性举动。本研究进一步将免责声明介绍为连接性动作,它是说话人正在进行的交际行为的桥梁。本研究还调查了免责声明的交际目的,发现中国网民使用免责声明主要是为了表达批评意见。此外,本研究还探究了使用免责声明的潜在文化因素。它揭示了中国文化中根深蒂固的某些价值观,如 "仁"、"义 "和 "礼"。这项研究有助于全球对免责声明的理解,并能为在线关系管理提供一些启示。
