我们报告了两项眼球追踪实验的结果，这些实验研究了当前面的量化陈述提供所指对象时，读者如何处理包含照应代词的句子。先前的研究（Moxey & Sanford, 1987；Sanford, Moxey, & Paterson, 1996）表明，正量词和负量词（例如，分别为 afew 和 few）使受试者关注所描述情况的不同方面，并对随后的照应代词的解释产生直接影响。在本研究中，我们考虑正量词和负量词是否使不同的集合可用作后续照应词的指称，或者读者是否必须在遇到照应词时推断这些集合的性质。结果表明，正数确实使集合可用作指称对象，而在负数的情况下，读者必须推断出所指集合。这些发现与关于正量词和负量词之间差异的语言学争论是一致的，并增加了我们对复杂复数回指的理解。
We report the results of two eye-tracking experiments that examine how readers process sentences containing anaphoric pronouns when the referent is provided by a preceding quantified statement. Previous studies (Moxey & Sanford, 1987; Sanford, Moxey, & Paterson, 1996) have shown that positive and negative quantifiers (e.g.,a fewandfew,respectively) cause subjects to focus on different aspects of the described situation and have direct consequences for the interpretation of subsequent anaphoric pronouns. In the present studies, we consider whether positive and negative quantifiers make different sets available as the referents of subsequent anaphora or if readers must infer the nature of these sets on encountering the anaphor. The results suggest that positives do make sets available as referents, whereas in the case of negatives, readers must infer the referent set. The findings are consistent with linguistic arguments concerning the differences between positive and negative quantifiers and add to our understanding of complex plural anaphora.
