情绪词类型效应:区分情绪标签词和情绪负载词的行为和神经活动证据

Effects of emotional word types:behavioral and neural evidence for discrimination between emotion-label and emotion-laden words

情绪标签词直接表达情绪状态,而情绪负载词本身不表达情绪状态,但能引发个体的情绪反应。通过对情绪标签词和情绪负载词的相关研究综述发现,情绪标签词与情绪负载词的加工优势存在不一致的结果;任务需求、语言类型和词汇特征是导致情绪词类型效应不一致的主要原因;情绪标签词与情绪负载词的加工差异可以通过语义表征的具身假说、密度假说进行解释。未来研究应深入考察情绪标签词与情绪负载词加工差异的原因;考察两种词在句子和语篇水平的加工差异;提供能够直接解释情绪词类型效应的理论假说;对比中英双语者加工中文和英文情绪标签词和情绪负载词的差异;采用神经成像技术继续探查情绪信息与语义信息加工的神经机制。

Emotion-label words directly express emotional states,while emotion-laden words can not only express these things but also can trigger individual emotional responses.According to comparative studies of emotion-label words and emotion-laden words,we found that there are contradictory results on the processing advantages of emotion-label words and emotion-laden words.This may be attributed to three factors:task demands,language types,and lexical characteristics.The processing differences between emotion-label words and emotion-laden words can be explained by the embodied account of semantic representation and the density hypothesis.Future research should examine the cause of the differences between emotion-label words and emotion-laden ones,and the processing differences between the two types of emotional words at the sentence and discourse levels.Then it should provide theoretical hypotheses that directly explain the differences in word types and compare the differences between Chinese and English bilinguals in their processing of Chinese and English emotion-label words and emotion-laden words.Finally,it should investigate the neural mechanisms of processing emotional and semantic information with neuroimaging techniques.
