Introduction1.1 Research background The attention of vague phenomenon can be traced back to the ancient Grecian philosophers. At that time vagueness has aroused philosophers attent

10、ion though it did not come out the scientific conception-“fuzziness”. After that, scholars have studied the vagueness on different subjects. Vague language appears almost in every corner of our life such as political discourse, literary works, and daily conversation, and so on. Previous researches s

11、how that vague language applying to communication results to two consequences. Firstly, as for the bad side, people cant get the definite and exact information, which causes confusing; secondly, as for the good side, vague language can benefit the speaker and writer to satisfy different purposes as

12、long as it is used appropriately.Recently with the boom of foreign trade, business letters have become an indispensable step to fulfill a transaction. Apart form the 7Cs principles of writing business letters-completeness, clearness, concreteness, conciseness, correctness, courtesy and consideration

13、, in many cases, the two sides of foreign trade may use vague language when falling into the tight corner such as conveying the bad news to the other side, urge the other side to complete obligations, so on and so forth. The appropriate use of vague language in business letters can promote the furth

14、er negotiation, realize courtesy, enhance the flexibility, and finally, successfully complete the whole transaction. 1.2 Aims and objectivesSystematic research has been carried out on the vague linguistics, while vague language in business letters has not been paid such enough attention as other fie

15、lds like political discourse, literary works, and so on.The dissertation is going to analyze the vague language in business letters from the positive affection of vagueness. The dissertation primary aims to answer the following two questions:What are the situations to use vague language in business

16、letters?What are the pragmatic functions of using vague language in business letters?By answering the two questions above, the dissertation hopes to give the learners of foreign trade and English a better understanding of vague language in business letters and then write effective business letters i

17、n the foreign trade.1.3 Data collection and research methodThe dissertation is data-based, which “employs a non-experimental method, yields qualitative data, and provides an interpretive analysis of that data” (Huang & Ghadessy, 2008: 20). Twenty pieces of business letters are collected from the cou

18、rse book of foreign trade and electronic version from the Internet and trade companies. Because of the length limitation of the dissertation, some of the collected sample letters are not listed.The dissertation analyses the collected data, which combines the vagueness theory with the principles of w

19、riting business letters.1.4 OrganizationThe dissertation includes five chapters. The first one is a brief introduction which is about the research background, the aims and method, and the organization. The second one moves to the literature review which includes the previous related studies, the cla

20、ssical and the working definition of vague language. The third one is primarily about the business letters characteristics and classifications of vague language in business letters. Then it moves to the important section-the forth chapter, which is the situations and pragmatic functions of using vag

21、ue language in business letters, will be the specific and detailed section, with six points respectively. The last chapter will make a summary and discusses the limitation of the dissertation and suggests the further research.2. Literature Review2.1 IntroductionThis chapter states the previous relat

22、ed studies, presenting the influential research results by the scholar from different times. And then it outlines the classical definitions put forward by different scholars. The last part is the working definition of the dissertation. 2.2 Previous related studies In the early time of ancient Greece

23、, the vague phenomenon has aroused the philosophers attention. Eubulidies, the Greece philosopher born in the forth century BC, was the outstanding representative. Another impressive British philosopher Russell wrote a famous paper in 1923 entitled “Vagueness”, pointing out that “a language is more

24、or less vague”. According to his statement, we can not call a color is green because the green color can be deep or light; it is not because we do not know the meaning of “green” but the indefinite essence of the suitable scale.In addition, Australia philosopher Wittgenstein in 1953 suggests that “w

25、ords are like blurred photographs and ads”, he put forward and made a great contribution to the study of the vagueness. American Cybernetic expert L.A Zadeh (1972: 4) wrote a paper “A Fuzzy-set-theoretic Interpretation of Linguistic Hedges”. After that, “vague logic” and “vague linguistics” have bee

26、n developed.In China, scholars show interests in vague language after 1979. Wu Tieping (1999) is the first linguist to study vague language and introduce the theory of Zadah.2.3 Definition of vague language2.3.1 The classical definitionThere were different points of view on the definition of vague l

27、anguage, so it can not reach into a consensus agreement. Some thought that vagueness in language was bad; while the others: good. Some previous scholars said that using vague language was because of lack of the precision, is kind of inadequacy to express the thought. While others thought that is a g

28、ood thing when used in the suitable situations. For instance, if people want to withhold information to benefit him, he may use “maybe”, “about”, “sometimes”. Ullmann (1962: 118) points out that “words with blurred edges”. He notes that “If one looks more closely at this vagueness one soon discovers

29、 that the term is itself rather vague and ambiguous: the condition it refers to not a uniform feature but has many aspects and may result form a variety of causes. Some of these are inherent in the very nature of language, whereas others come into play only special circumstances.” He attributes vagu

30、eness to four factors:() generic character of words;() meaning is never homogeneous (i.e. it is context-bound);() lack of clear-cut boundaries in the non-linguistic word;() lack of familiarity with what the words stand for.Another approach to vagueness by Crystal and Davy (1975: 111) refers to vague

31、ness as imprecision. “Lack of imprecision is one of the most important features of the vocabulary of informal conversation,” they state, and give four reasons for vagueness:() memory loss-the speaker forgets the correct word;() the language has not suitable exact word, or the speaker does not know i

32、t;() the subject of the conversation is not such that it requires precision, and an approximation or characterization will do; and() the choice of vague item is deliberate to maintain the atmosphere.2.3.2 The working definitionVague language exists in many fields of our life; it is widely used in la

33、nguage. Some investigators even want to insist that all language is vague in some way. But most of us do not realize the frequency use of vague language when speaking and writing. We are not aware of it unless it is pointed out and used unsuitability.Joanna Channell (1994: 20) on her book Vague Lang

34、uage states the working definition of vague language and its use. She states that an expression or word is vague if:() it can be contrasted with another word or expression which appears to render the same proposition;() it is “purposely and unabashedly vague”;() its meaning arises from the “intrinsi

35、c uncertainty” referred to by Peirce.Different researchers have different views of vague language.On the base of Joanna Channell, the working definition of the dissertation is:() meaning of words or context is not definite;() it can be purposely used in suitable situation;() it has pragmatic functio

36、ns in communication.2.4 SummaryThis chapter has settled on the related studies of vague language and presented the classical definition, and then moves to the working definition of the dissertation based on the Joanna Channells works. Inspired by this chapter, the following chapter will deal with th

37、e classifications of vague language in business letters.3. Classifications of Vague Language in Business Letters3.1 IntroductionTo start with, this chapter briefly presents the business letters definition, function, and writing principles, so that it helps people to have a better understanding of th

38、e vague langue appearing on the letters. In the second place, this chapter will discuss the classification of vague language in business letters. Relevant words and sentences are chosen deliberately from the business letters. 3.2 Business letters in foreign trade3.2.1 Definition, function of busines

39、s letters in foreign tradeBusiness letter is a letter dealing with business between the two sides of trade.In the large sense, business also includes telegrams, telex, postcards and a variety of reports, advertisements, and so on. Compared with ordinary letters, the business letter has its own speci

40、al formats and fixed business terms. As the cultural diversity between the east and west, the format and context are also different. A good command of English and commercial regulations are necessary; besides, the writer should pay much attention to the writing skills and the characteristics, i.e. t

41、he layout of business letters, which consists of the letter head, the date, the inside address, the salutation, the message, the complementary close, the writers signature and official position.Broadly speaking, the function of business letters may be said to () to establish business relation; () to

42、 ask for and convey information; () to deal with matters and make negotiation of business. In addition, there are letters with no purposes just remind the other side of the senders existence to maintain the commercial relations.3.2.2 The principles of writing business lettersThe business letters wri

43、ting principles are 7Cs-completeness, clearness, concreteness, conciseness, correctness, courtesy and consideration. That is to say, the writer should pay attention to the attitude, language, content and form in order to meet the seven principles. 3.3 Classifications of vague language in business le

44、ttersThe classification can be made into “approximations” and “shields” by E. F. Prince and his colleague J. Frader & C. Bosk, which is widely recognized up to now. The three scholars made the classification through the pragmatic aspect; K. M. Kempson on Semantic Theory (1977: 18) states that vaguen

45、ess could be divided into four kinds: “referential vagueness”, “indeterminacy of meaning”, “lack of specification”, and “disjunction”. But some researchers even make more specific classification on vague language based on the previous study.With reference of the previous researchers studies and comb

46、ing with the characteristics of business letters, the dissertation prescribes the classifications as lexical vagueness, syntactical sentences and hedge.3.3.1 Lexical vaguenessThe lexical vagueness in business letters includes adjectives (e.g. good, high, competitive); nouns (e.g. interest, dissatisf

47、action); adverbs (e.g. perhaps, maybe, very); proposition (e.g. around, in an early date); quantifiers (e.g. a great deal of, a large amount of).Different forms above have different purposes.() Adjectives(1) We believe that there is a competitive market in our area for the reasonable price of our go

48、ods. (2) They are of the high quality, which will appeal to the most selective buyers.(3) All the items quoted are made of the best quality material and can be supplied in various designs and colors.Seen from the examples above, the vague adjectives employed in the business letters are about the attitude towards the goods, the price and the quality of the goods: satisfied, reasonable, expensive, high, and so on.() Nouns(4) But much to our disappointment, we have not receive any reply up to now, we, therefore, again sent
