认知推理与歧义回指中第三人称代词指代的确定

Cognitive Inference and the Designating of Third Person Pronouns in Ambiguous Anaphora

第三人称代词在歧义回指中的推导不是简单运用语言知识在语篇中找出形式上与之对应的词项,也不像Norman等提出的三步法那样进行程序化推导,而是一个复杂、动态的认知心理过程;指代的确认在很大程度上依赖读者对语篇信息进行认知推理。

This paper studies the relationship between cognitive inference and the designating of ambiguous anaphora. It is held that contrary to the common traditional belief that anaphora is regarded as a syntactically - controlled co - referential relationship on surface level of language and the stereotyped 3 - step approach put forward by Norman et al, the designating of third person pronouns in ambiguous anaphora is a dynamic and complicated cognitive process, which is attained via the readers＇cognitive inference.
