本文讨论的是一个社会语用学的话题——话语作为社交言语行为和特定的文化之间的动态关系。在作者看来，社会交往的言行是构成人际社会现实的具体形式，而这种形式要成为社会适合的和有效的形式，必然与文化发生联系；换句话说，只有受到文化的驱使，社交言行的合理性、合适性和有效性才会得到根本的保证。文章分三个主要部分加以讨论：第一部分，文章讨论社交言行的文化合理性、合适性和有效性问题；第二部分，文章讨论社交言行在微观层次上有文化驱动的形式和进程；第三部分，在微观讨论的基础上，文章讨论文化驱动社交言行方式的社会、文化心理建构问题。文章得出了这样的结论：文化和社交言行之间存在着十分紧密的、重要的联系；谈论社交话语如果离开了特定文化的驱动，那就是无本之木、无源之水；因此，把话语、社交和文化结合起来讨论，不仅有利于文化的语用功能解释，更有利于社会语用学的建立和发展。

This paper deals with utterance understanding from a culture-driven socio-pragmatic perspective. By culture-driven perspective, the author means that certain situated utterances functioning in socializing interactions are at a deeper level driven by a particular system of culture. The discussion mainly falls into three sections: the first part deals with the three types of utterance conditions of satisfaction required for socializing acts, that of cultural rationality, appropriateness and effectiveness; the second part deals with the micro-level analysis of how a particular culture can drive or facilitate an utterance as a specific situated socializing act; and the third part explores how a mode of culture-driven acts can be constructed at the community level, which is a macro-process. The author concludes that socializing acts are not solely situated forms of intentional interaction, but culturally conditioned acts with certain significant deeper-level cultural messages or mission, and it is interpersonal socializing that presents possibilities for a particular culture to realize its functions and values in social reality construction and interpretation, which definitely forms a sound foundation for developing any plausible social pragmatics.
