说明文阅读推理研究综述

A Review of the Studies on Inference in Expository Texts

阅读推理是指读者推测出语篇中没有明确呈现的事件、关系等过程,说明文阅读中的推理成为近年来学者们讨论的热点。本文从三个方面对说明文中的阅读推理的研究进行了总结、回顾和探讨:(1)读者在阅读说明文的过程中是否会产生推理;(2)说明文推理和记叙文推理的区别;(3)说明文阅读推理的影响因素。

Inference refers to the process that readers construe the events and relationship that may not be explicitly stated in the text. Inference during expository text comprehension has become a hot topic in recent years. The present paper reviews and discusses the studies of inference during expository text comprehension from the following three aspects： （1） whether or not inference is made by readers during expository text comprehension; （2） the differences between inference during narrative text comprehension and expository text comprehension; （3） factors influence the generation of inference during expository text comprehension.
