关于向心理论中过渡类型问题的探讨

The Computation of Transition Types in Centering Theory

在应用向心理论时,由隐性语篇实体实现回指中心的语段通常会产生零回指中心和零过渡的问题,Laurel Fais(2004)为该类语段拟订的向心过渡类型虽基本解决了此类问题,但其应用能力仍显不足,本文针对语篇中嵌入的'诗歌语段对'现象,拟对其设定的过渡类型进行进一步划分,提出三种费力衔接过渡类型,使过渡类型适用于更广泛的语言事实。

The additional transition type,designated by Laurel Fais(2004)for the utterance in which the implicitly realized centers exist,is effective in resolving ZERO Cb and NULL transition.Its applicative power,however,seems to be limited.The present paper,on account of the embedding poetic utterance pairs in Chinese discourse,refines the Centering transition by proposing three types of EXPENSIVE COHESIVE transitions which are assumed to render the CT transitions applicable to more language facts.
