摩梭人亲属词概念结构的影响因素分析

Factors Influencing the Conceptual Organization of Kinship Words——Evidence from the Mosuo People

通过快速分类任务考察亲属的亲密程度、辈分大小及亲属关系性质三方面因素对摩梭人亲属词认知的影响,进一步验证摩梭人亲属词概念组织的结构。结果表明,摩梭人对亲属词的认知受亲属的亲密程度和辈分大小的影响,而亲属关系性质这一因素并未影响亲属词的快速认知,验证了“亲密程度和辈分的确是摩梭人亲属词概念结构的两个维度”这一研究结果。

In order to verify the conceptual organization of the Mosuo kinship words,the current study investigates the influence of kinship intimacy,the position in the family tree and the category of relation on the fast cognition of kinship words.The results show that the Mosuo people s cognition of kinship words was influenced by the kinship intimacy and the position in the family tree,while the category of relation did not affect the fast cognition of kinship words.It confirms the results of the previous research that the kinship intimacy and the position in the family tree are indeed the two dimensions of the conceptual structure of the Mosuo people s kinship words.
