“框棂关系”对间接回指研究的启示

What does Kuang-Ling Relationship Suggest for Indirect Anaphora

“框棂关系”是廖秋忠提出的汉语语流中存在的两个名词性成分之间的一种相互依赖关系,这一形象的比喻对间接回指现象的研究具有很好的启发作用。分析表明,无论间接回指的先行项或回指项表现为何种语言形式,它们之间在概念层面上的关系均可归结为框与棂的关系。本文进一步对框与棂在间接回指中的激活顺序进行了分析,藉此表明,这种新的理解模式尚有某些特征需要进一步发掘。

Kuang-Ling Relationship, proposed by Liao Qiuzhong, is regarded as a mutually dependent relation that exists between two nominal components in Chinese discourse. As a vivid metaphor, this relationship suggests quite a lot for the study of indirect anaphora. An analysis shows that no matter what linguistic forms the antecedent or anaphora takes, the relationship between antecedent and anaphora at the conceptual level can all be referred to as one of Kuang and Ling. A further analysis is made of the sequence of activation of Kuang and Ling in indirect anaphora, which intends to show that this new model of interpretation contains some room for future research.
