脑成像技术在汉语神经机制研究中的应用

A Survey of Mandarin Chinese Studies Using Brain Functional Imaging

脑功能成像技术自上个世纪末应用到语言学研究中以来,已有不少有关汉语神经机制的研究成果问世。但是综观这些研究,大多限于对汉语字、词的探讨而且几乎没有统一的语言学理论作为指导,因此有必要将汉语〗脑功能成像的研究成果做一个系统的介绍,期望给这些基于脑功能成像的汉语神经机制研究划分出一个比较清晰的思路。

The researches on Mandarin Chinese using Brain Functional Imaging have produced a lot of literature since the end of last century. But a survey of them has witnessed the facts that these studies have been confined to the Chinese characters and words only without the guidance of any consistent linguistic theories. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive survey of these literature from which a new direction of research can be found. Generally speaking, these studies include three aspects: processing mechanisms of Chinese characters, neurocognitive mechanisms of second language processing and those of semantics and syntax.
