《英語主要辭格語用解讀》編著者韓仲謙。 Figures of speech or tropes have always been interesting topicsfor language researchers as well as average language users. Howev-er， traditional approaches to the study of various tropes rest on theeffectiveness of language expressiveness， seldom referring to theroles which language producers and audience may play， not to men-tion the study of the psychology of language users. Modern pragmat-ics also approach to the effectiveness of use in language communica-tion. It shares with traditional rhetoric the same main content andphilosophical foundation， and may thus offer new methods of explo-ration for traditional rhetorical tropes. Therefore， the mutual infil-tration of the two disciplines in their contents and research methodswill inject new vitality to each other and upgrade their theoretic andacademic levels.
