摘要大多数语言（如果不是全部的话）都表现出“生命性效应”：语法结构与名词所指对象的相对生命性相互作用，如各种版本的生命性量表所示，人类话语参与者在一端，无生命物体在另一端。跨语言的证据证明了一系列受生命性制约的语言现象，复杂的效果需要（a）比二元对比更微妙的区别（± animate）和（B）比将更高的生命性映射到更高的语法角色更复杂的分析。本文介绍了特刊，“动画在语法和认知的影响”，其中的语言兴趣的语法效果的动画与更广泛的问题有关的动画在认知，包括语言中的动画的起源，偏见的基础上，我们如何参加动画的区别和动画如何影响话语。最近在认知科学和邻近领域的工作有助于理解跨语言领域的生命性的作用。然而，尽管一致认为对生命的敏感性是人类认知的核心属性，但对于如何将生命纳入语言学理论并没有达成一致。本研究关注生命性的认知内涵，旨在扩展我们对生命性在语法和理论中作用的理解。
Abstract Most, if not all, languages exhibit “animacy effects”: grammatical structures interact with the relative animacy of noun referents, as represented on various versions of animacy scales, with human discourse participants at one end and inanimate objects at the other. Cross-linguistic evidence attests to a range of linguistic phenomena conditioned by animacy, with complex effects requiring (a) subtler distinctions than a binary contrast [± animate] and (b) more sophisticated analyses than mapping higher animacy to higher grammatical role. This paper introduces the Special Issue, “Effects of Animacy in Grammar and Cognition”, in which the linguistic interest in grammatical effects of animacy is aligned with broader questions concerning animacy in cognition, including the origins of animacy in language, the biases underlying how we attend to animacy distinctions and how animacy affects discourse. Recent work in cognitive science and adjacent fields has contributed to the understanding of the role of animacy across linguistic domains. Yet, despite the consensus that sensitivity to animacy is a property central to human cognition, there is no agreement on how to incorporate animacy within linguistic theories. This SI focusses on the cognitive construal of animacy, aiming to extend our understanding of its role in grammar(s) and theory.
