本文将通过对日本小说的分析,探讨回指手段(名词短语、第三人称代词和零回指语)在语篇中的选择和安排。传统的回指观认为回指手段之间的共指关系是组合的,也就是说,一个代词,例如,指回它的先行词。它还宣布了层次顺序的回指设备之间的信息值;名词是语义上的信息量最大,指示一个情节的边界,代词信息量较少。此外,零形回指的指称透明度最高,最能体现主题的可及性。然而,真实的文本却显示出相反的情况。名词短语在没有明显语篇边界的情况下频繁出现,同一事件是连续的。这是因为零回指语和TPP(如果它们出现)很容易由于即将到来的句子的性质而分解,NP被恢复,以便在给定的话语中继续相同的主题。因此,本文反对传统的回指观。本文将从语篇加工的概念出发,运用心理表征理论,确定这三种回指手段的出现模式。
By examining Japanese fictional novels, this article will discuss how anaphoric devices (noun phrases (NPs), third person pronouns (TPPs), and zero anaphors) are selected and arranged in a given discourse. The traditional view of anaphora considers the co-referential relationship between anaphoric devices to be syntagmatic; that is, a pronoun, for example, refers back to its antecedent. It also declares the hierarchical order of information values between anaphoric devices; NPs are semantically the most informative, indicating an episode boundary, and pronouns less informative. Furthermore, zero anaphora is the most referentially transparent, showing the most accessibility of a topic. However, real text shows the contrary. NPs occur frequently while there is no apparent discourse boundary, and the same episode is continuous. This is because zero anaphors and TPPs (if they occur) break down readily due to the nature of a forthcoming sentence and the NP is reinstated, in order to continue the same topic in a given discourse. Therefore, the article opposes the traditional view of anaphora. Based on the concept of text processing, using ‘mental representations’, this article will determine certain occurrence patterns of the three anaphoric devices.
