语用学研究的神经科学进路——神经语用学研究

The Neuroscience Approach to Pragmatic Research-Neuropragmatics

语用现象的神经机制受到越来越多的关注。在此背景下,神经语用学应运而生,渐渐成为相对独立的领域。本文通过对神经语用学学理基础的论述和发展脉络的梳理指出,神经语用学从语用障碍研究中萌芽,在语用理论框架下成形,于具身认知科学中发展。神经语用学在激活脑区定位和神经计时这两个主要研究视角下探讨语用障碍和正常语用现象的神经现实性,探索人脑结构和语言认知功能的复杂联系,以此揭示语言使用以及交际行为背后的神经根源。基于研究现状分析,文章指出神经语用学呈现出从研究语用现象到探究交际过程、从单脑神经激活到人际神经同步的发展趋势,并集中探讨了未来研究有待厘清的问题。

The neural mechanisms of pragmatic phenomena have received increasing attention.In this context,neuropragmatics has emerged and gradually become a relatively independent field.This article discusses the theoretical basis and development phases of neuropragmatics.It proposes that this field originated from pragmatic disorder studies,came into being under the framework of pragmatic theories and grew in strength in embodied cognitive science.From the perspective of cerebral localization and neurochronometry,neuropragmatics explores the neural reality of pragmatic disorder in patients and related pragmatic phenomenon in normal subjects so as to reveal the underlying neurological basis of language in context and communication behavior.Based on the current research status,this paper points out that neuropragmatics presents a development trend from studying pragmatic phenomena to exploring communicative processes,and from measuring single-brain neural activation to collecting brain-to-brain synchrony.It concludes by discussing issues that need to be clarified in future research.
