联想回指现象琐议

On Associative Anaphora

联想回指语是回指语中较特殊的一个类别 ,因为它虽有普通回指语的某些特点 ,但回指项却不与先行项同指。本文在对几种流行的联想回指理论模式 ,尤其是关联理论模式进行描述、对比和评价的基础上指出 ,尽管关联理论模式能在很大程度上较好地解释联想回指语现象 ,但有时它也表现出某些局限性。这一理论在对具体问题进行分析时有时还需考虑词汇。

Associative anaphora is one special category among anaphoric expressions. Though similar to the common anaphoras, it does not co refer its antecedent. With a general review of the previous theoretical models concerned, especially on the basis of describing and analyzing the Relevance Theory, this paper intends to pin down the notion that, though the Relevance Theory is effective to a certain extent in the interpretation of associative anaphora, its limitations are also obvious, and such limitations can be amended by considering the effects of such factors as lexicon and syntax.
