名动分类:语法的还是语义的——汉语名动分类的神经语言学研究

A Neurolinguistic Study on the Classification of Nouns and Verbs in Chinese

大多数名动分类实验的结果支持名词和动词的语义特征不同是人们区分二者的依据,但这些实验只是从语义角度来设计研究方案的,大大制约了其结论的语言学价值。本文从语法角度来设计研究方案,通过ERP、fMRI两种实验手段证明了语法确实可以作为汉语名动分类的依据。

The results of most past experiments on the classification of nouns and verbs advocated the view of semantics basis, and were designed only from the point of semantics, so the conclusion is constrained in linguistics' value. In this article, we intend to discover whether or not syntax plays a role in the classification of Chinese nouns and verbs by designing the experimental programs from the syntactic point via ERP and fMRI, and the experimental results demonstrats that syntax does play an important role in the classification of Chinese nouns and verbs.
