Cognitive pragmatics is concerned with the mental processes involved in intentional communication. I discuss a few issues that may help clarify the relationship between this area and the broader cognitive science and the contribution that they give, or might give, to each other. Rather than dwelling on the many technicalities of the various theories of communication that have been advanced, I focus on the different conceptions of the nature and the architecture of the mind/brain that underlie them. My aims are, first, to introduce and defend mentalist views of communication in general; second, to defend one such view, namely that communication is a cognitive competence, that is, a faculty, and the underlying idea that the architecture of the mind/brain is domain-specific; and, third, to review the (scarce) neuropsychological evidence that bears on these issues.
认知语用学关注有意交流中所涉及的心理过程。我将探讨一些问题，这些问题可能有助于厘清该领域与更广泛的认知科学之间的关系，以及它们相互之间已经做出或可能做出的贡献。我不会详述已提出的各种交流理论的诸多技术细节，而是关注这些理论背后关于心智/大脑的本质和结构的不同概念。我的目标，首先是总体上介绍和捍卫关于交流的心智主义观点；其次是捍卫其中一种观点，即交流是一种认知能力，也就是一种官能，以及心智/大脑结构具有领域特异性这一基本观点；第三是审视与这些问题相关的（稀少的）神经心理学证据。
