  GRE

  Just as economists were blind to the numerous cases in which the law of supply and demand left actual wants unsatisfied, so also many linguists are deaf to those instances in which the very nature of a language calls forth misunderstandings in everyday conversation, and in which, consequently, a word has to be modified or defined in order to present the idea intended by the speaker: “He took his stick—no, not John’s, but his own.”

  正如同经济学家对于许多案例中供求关系让真实需要得不到满足视而不见一样,许多语言学家对于语言本质所造成的日常用语中的误解充耳不闻,在这种情况下,往往需要进一步修饰或定义,才能准确表达说话者的真正意图:“他拿了他的棍子——不,不是约翰的,而是他自己的。”
