焦点结构的神经认知研究综述

A Survey of the Neurocognitive Studies on Focus Structure

焦点结构历来受到学界广泛关注。近年来,学者们除了在语言学理论关照下继续对焦点结构进行探究外,也开始从实证(实验)视角对其进行广泛而深入的研究。本文通过梳理和归纳焦点结构在线加工的神经认知研究成果,并在此基础上提出今后研究的方向或前景。首先,焦点结构的神经认知研究应立足于语言学理论成果,深化对焦点结构相关概念的本质研究;其次,充分利用神经认知科学和心理学的最新研究成果;最后,进一步加强焦点结构的语用加工、跨语言研究和焦点加工模型等方面的研究。

Focus structure has always been widely concerned by researchers from different academic backgrounds,and recently some scholars have begun to explore focus structure from the empirical(experimental)perspectives.This paper attempts to review the achievements of the online processing of focus structure,and accordingly,puts forward the future research proposals.We propose three aspects should be attached greater importance:(1)the neurocognitive research of focus structure should be started from and based on theoretical linguistic achievements,by clarifying the basic concepts of focus structures;(2)the latest achievements of neurocognitive science and psychology should be taken into consideration;and(3)pragmatic processing research of focus structure should be paid greater attention in the future research,together with researches on cross-linguistic evidences and processing model of focus structure.
