联结主义与批评话语分析

Connectionism and Critical Discourse Analysis

符号主义和联结主义是认知科学的两大研究范式,早期基于系统功能语法的批评话语分析在不经意间吸收了符号主义范式的理念。20世纪80年代以来,随着符号主义的日渐式微及更多认知心理学实证研究的发现,联结主义得以卷土重来,其构建的信息加工模型的动态性、整体性和高效性对批评话语分析阐释理想读者对话语的浅层加工及相应的心理表征具有一定的借鉴意义。

Symbolicism and connectionism in cognitive science are two dominant approaches to cognitive modeling.Critical discourse analysis at its early stage has absorbed symbolicism inadvertently under the theoretical framework of Systemic Functional Grammar.The 1980s saw the resurgence of connectionism with the decline of symbolicism and new evidence by the empirical study in cognitive psychology.The dynamic,integrality and efficiency of information processing models constructed in connectionism deserve recognition in critical discourse analysts'interpretation of ideal readers'cognitive activities and mental representations in text processing.
