Outline of Final Research Achievements

The project has revealed that (a) Verbal Evasion is achieved through the false implicature that the message satisfies the original conversational demand when the message actually satisfies a different demand in a misrepresented conversational frame, (b) Perceived deceptiveness and perceived evasiveness are significantly correlated with perceived sincerity of the message, and the sensitivity to deceptiveness and evasiveness depend on cognitive complexity and perspective-taking ability of the hearer, and (3) among native speakers of Japanese, cognitive complexity would not necessarily predict the use of strategic evasive messages in conflict-avoidance situations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

言い逃れ・遁辞 (Evasion)は、聞き手に発話意味を誤解させることで成立する現象であり 、欺瞞意図を同定することが非常に難しく、法的・道義的責任の所在が曖昧となる点で特徴的である。こうした欺瞞は詐欺や誇大広告に代表される違法なメッセージから、政治家や企業トップの巧みで人を煙に巻くような謝罪会見や言説、そして日常生活における罪のない嘘・ごまかしまで、様々な形で現代社会に蔓延しており、それが社会や我々一般市民に与える潜在的影響に鑑みれば、そのメカニズムを語用論的・社会心理(コミュニケーション)学的に解明してその成果を社会に還元する学術的意義および社会的貢献は非常に高い。
