回指可及性影响因素的认知心理学研究述评

A Review of the Cognitive-Psychological Studies on“Anaphora Accessibility”Determinants

Ariel在神经认知视野下,提出了"回指可及性理论",但是,其理论假设是否符合人的神经加工过程还缺少生理心理学证据的检验。认知心理学实证证据有效地检验了"回指可及性理论"的假设,同时还发现了当前回指研究的不足。将来应从单一理论角度或因素的研究向多因素交互作用研究发展。实践证明,科学实证证据能够有效地检验和发展语言学理论,而科学实证研究也需要语言学理论的系统指导,在语言研究中应将二者紧密结合。

Ariel put forward the theory of ＂anaphora accessibility＂ from a neuro-cognitive perspective, but the theoretical hypotheses lack physio-psychological evidence. The empirical evidence has effectively tested the theoretical hypotheses, and has shown that there are still drawbacks in the present researches on anaphora. Future study on anaphora accessibility should change from focu- sing on a single factor to focusing on multi-factors that interact with each other. Studies show that empirical studies can efficiently test and improve linguistic theories. In turn, empirical studies need systematic guidance from linguistics.
