手语加工过程中象似性效应及其理论解释

The Iconicity Effect in Sign Language Pro-cessing and Its Theoretical Explanations

手语是听障人群日常交流的语言,影响其生活的方方面面,象似性被定义为心理储存的概念表征和语音表征之间的结构化映射,不同学者对手语加工处理中的作用进行了诸多研究。文章根据前有研究结果分析手语加工过程中象似性效应的理论解释,包含具身认知观、结构映射假说以及认知资源竞争假说三个视角。此外,文章梳理前有文献中的结果争议发现任务涉及语义与语音形式之间的映射可能是象似性效应在实验范式中出现的必要条件。未来研究可以从象似性效应的边界条件、手语象似性对聋人非语言认知的影响以及象似性在真实学习情境的应用等方面入手深入探讨。

Sign language is the language of daily communication for hearing-impaired people, which affects all aspects of their lives. Iconocity is defined as the structured mapping between mentally stored con-ceptual and phonological representations, and different scholars have carried out many studies on the role of iconocity in sign language processing. The article analyzes the theoretical explanations for the effect of iconocity in sign language processing based on the results of previous studies, in-cluding the embodied cognition, the structural mapping hypothesis, and the cognitive resource competition hypothesis. In addition, the article analyzes the controversy over the results in the previous literature and finds that the task involves a mapping between semantics and phonological form that may be necessary for the emergence of the iconocity effect in the experimental paradigm. Future research could delve deeper into the boundary conditions of the iconocity effect, the impact of sign language iconocity on deaf people’s nonverbal cognition, and the application of iconocity in authentic learning situations.
