本文描述了一个解释人们概念组合的创造性和效率的理论。在约束理论中，概念组合受到诊断性、可解释性和信息性三个约束的制约。这些限制来自于应用于复合短语的交际语用学。组合的创造性之所以产生，是因为约束可以以许多不同的方式得到满足。约束理论给出了组合效率的算法模型。C-3模型承认组合的充分创造性，但又有效地确定了给定短语的最佳解释。约束理论在概念组合上解释了许多经验性的错误，并作出了各种经验性的预测。在计算机模拟的复合短语解释中，C-3模型产生的结果与人们对相同短语的反应基本一致。
This paper describes a theory that explains both the creativity and the efficiency of people's conceptual combination. In the constraint theory, conceptual combination is controlled by three constraints of diagnosticity, plausibility, and informativeness. The constraints derive from the pragmatics of communication as applied to compound phrases. The creativity of combination arises because the constraints can be satisfied in many different ways. The constraint theory yields an algorithmic model of the efficiency of combination. The C-3 model admits the full creativity of combination and yet efficiently settles on the best interpretation for a given phrase. The constraint theory explains many empirical regularities in conceptual combination, and makes various empirically verified predictions. In computer simulations of compound phrase interpretation, the C-3 model has produced results in general agreement with people's responses to the same phrases.
