本文通过“情境关联论”研究话语非字面义的运用。情境关联论是说明语言表达和理解的语用理论，是语言运用的通则和范式，体现了语言运用心理的基本原理。情境关联论继承我国古代语言运用把握情境关系的传统，是一种以情境关系为视角的语用理论，即通过分析话语中境（景）与情的关系或情与境（景）的关系来获得语言的表达和理解，话语的意义实现则由情境关联带来。换言之，从情境关联论来看，话语交流依赖主体的情境感受，而另一主体则会感同身受。就非字面义表达的语义实现而言，还要在此基础上对非字面义表达所涉及的对象和原对象进行对比设置。

The present paper approaches the usage of non-literal expression (NLE)with the theory of correlation between emotion and circumstance (TCBEC). TCBEC, serving as a general principle and paradigm in language use, is a pragmatic theory that deals with the expression and interpretation of linguistic speech, reflecting the general psychological process in language use. TCBEC, having inherited the Chinese tradition of using language through emotion-circumstance correlation, is a linguistic theory which considers that the speech meaning comes from this correlation in the process of expounding the relation between emotion and circumstance. In a word, TCBEC, relying on the cognitive principle of mutual interplay of the cognitive agent and the circumstance, takes as the main part the emotion of the speaker, and takes the manner of feeling indebted as if the sensation were felt in person on the part of the hearer agent, making the meaning of the speech flow from one agent to another. This is the way in which people establish their emotional connection through speech. As to the semantic realization of NLE, more attention should be paid to the comparison between the entity involved in the non-literal expression and the original entity on this basis.
