英汉第三人称代词句内指称照应的消解过程

Intra-sentential Referential Resolution of Third Person Pronoun in English and Chinese

语篇表征理论强调语言的动态特征以及上下文对句子意义的影响,因而对名词和代词的照应关系确认具有一定的解释力。本文以语篇表征理论为研究框架,分析了英汉第三人称代词(包括零形代词)句内指称照应的消解过程,认为句内指称消解主要以线形语序处理,主从结构例外。

Discourse Representation Theory（DRT） emphasizes the dynamic features of language and the influences of linguistic context on the decoding of sentence,therefore it is explainable for co-referentiality between anaphor and its antecedent.Based on DRT,this paper analyzes intra-sentential referential resolution of third person pronoun（including zero pronoun） in English and Chinese.The result shows that referential resolution within a sentence is necessarily processed in a linear sequence,unless marked as subordinate.
