不同语言的使用者在如何解决口头任务方面的差异通常归因于特定的文化和文体传统。与此相反,我们认为,在文本中的信息组织的差异植根于语言之间的结构对比。这一说法是基于讲英语、德语和阿尔及利亚阿拉伯语的人的制作数据,其中包括默片的复述和短视频剪辑的口头表达。分析的领域是事件形成和时间观点的模式。从三种语言的说话者那里获得的数据显示了关于三个方面的信息组织的对比:(a)说话者根据不同的标准分割视觉输入中呈现的信息流,(B)他们系统地选择不同的组件时表示语言中的给定事件,(c)他们建立不同的时间视角时锚定和连接话语中的事件。在本文中,我们认为,在选择和结构化信息中观察到的对比可以概括为假设语言对比的抽象原则的角度。这些原则反过来又植根于特定语言的语法化模式。1.问题对于构成语言产生机制的基本组成部分,人们有着普遍的共识。概念化、公式化和发音,这三个部分的模型-- Levelt的说话者蓝图(1989),一直是大多数语言产生工作的参考框架。经过几年对语言产生领域的深入研究,人们对涉及语言结构的两个组成部分有了深入的了解:
Differences in how verbal tasks are solved by speakers of different languages are often attributed to specific cultural and stylistic traditions. In contrast to this position we argue that differences in the organization of information in texts are rooted in structural contrasts between languages. This claim is based on production data from speakers of English, German, and Algerian Arabic which include retellings of a silent film and verbalizations of short video clips. The domains of analysis are patterns of event formation and temporal viewpoint. The data obtained from speakers of the three languages show contrasts with respect to three aspects of information organization: (a) speakers segment the flow of information as presented in the visual input on the basis of different criteria, (b) they systematically select different components when representing a given event in language and (c) they establish different temporal perspectives when anchoring and linking events in discourse. In this paper, we argue that the contrasts observed in selecting and structuring information can be generalized by assuming language contrasts at the level of abstract principles of perspective taking. These principles are in turn rooted in language-specific patterns of grammaticization. 1. The problem There is general agreement as to the fundamental components which are constitutive for the language production apparatus. Conceptualization, formulation and articulation, this three-partitive model — Levelt’s blueprint for the speaker (1989), has been the referential frame for most of the work on language production. Following several years of intensive research in the field of language production, insights have been gained into the two components that involve linguistic structures: the formulator
