许多语言已经发展出一种专门的工具来编码事件的空间背景方面:关联运动形态学。这种很少被研究的动词变化使得说话者能够明确一个动词所描述的情况发生在一个运动事件的背景下,比如“sing(while coming)”。关联运动系统通常包括指示信息,当动词变化需要区分不同方向的运动时,为说话而思考会预测认知结果,表现为对方向的记忆增强。为了评估这一假设,我们比较编码和记忆的方向在濒危的Otopamean语言,Atzulco Otomí(墨西哥)。首先,我们研究的多样性和频率在朝圣者叙事中使用相关的运动变化。然后,我们研究了潜在的认知相关的心理语言学的认知记忆实验测量变化检测性能。背景方向的语言编码支持方向记忆,但样本量较小,实验进一步表明关联运动拐点及其对应的注意模式都处于消解过程中。这与Arrernte和Mojeño Trinitario的研究结果相呼应,我们讨论了为什么关联运动在语言濒危背景下可能是一个特别脆弱的类别。
Many languages have developed a specialized tool for coding spatial background aspects of events:associated motionmorphology. This sparsely investigated verb inflection allows speakers to specify that the situation described by a verb takes place against the background of a motion event, as in “sing (while coming)”. Associated-motion systems typically include deictic information, and when verb inflection requires distinctions between motion in different directions, athinking-for-speakingaccount would predict cognitive consequences in the shape of heightened memory for direction. To evaluate this hypothesis, we compare encoding of and memory for direction in an endangered Otopamean language, Acazulco Otomí (Mexico). First, we examine diversity and frequency in the use of associated-motion inflection in pilgrim narratives. Then, we investigate the potential cognitive correlates with a psycholinguistic recognition-memory experiment measuring change-detection performance. Linguistic encoding of background direction was found to support memory for direction, but the sample size was small, and the experiment further indicated that both the associated-motion inflection and its corresponding attention patterns are in a process of dissolution. This echoes findings in Arrernte and Mojeño Trinitario, and we discuss why associated motion might be an especially vulnerable category in language-endangerment contexts.
