An Analysis of the Linguistic Framework and Pragmatic Perspective of the Selection of Experiential Verbs

Abstract

Towards the long-lingering question of the truth value of certain propositions in the modern philosophy of language, Rudolf Carnap has shed light on it from a Pragmatic point of view. The perspective of Pragmatics proposed by Jef Verschueren coincides with Carnap’s theory. It’s true that all aspects of language use reflect the pragmatic considerations of language users, especially when it comes to the use of multi-modality verbs. Revealing the pragmatical essence and principles of the use of multi-modality verbs will contribute to fullfilling the requirements of usefulness, fruitfulness, and simplicity. Ultimately, through the variability and negotiability of language, the adapted pragmatical effect can surely be realized.
