项目摘要

In this study, I analyzed Japanese native and non-native speakers' use of referring expressions in Japanese narratives and the relationship between referential choice and episodic structure of discourse. The data were elicited by having informants tell the story of an animated film to a friend in Japanese.I define referring expressions as expressions that refer to people or things in the discourse and include so-called "ko-, so-, a-" demonstratives as a subcategory of referring expressions. I consider both NPs and ellipses to be forms of referring expressions. According to research by Clancy(1980) and Givon(1983), the general principles of referential choice are 1) an NP should be used at the first introduction of a referent, 2) ellipsis should be used for referents in the center of the hearer's consciousness, 3) NP should be used for referents with greater referential distance or when interference occurs.Native speakers of Japanese in my data often violated these principles by using NPs in cases where ellipsis would not cause any ambiguity, and using ellipses even in cases when the referent was potentially ambiguous. I demonstrated that native speakers used these NPs and ellipses to mark sections of discourse. In contrast, some non-native speakers failed to mark discourse structure by using NPs whenever the referent of the agent of the verb changed, or constantly using ellipsis when referring to the main character.

本研究分析了日语本族语者和非本族语者在日语叙事中指称表达的使用情况，以及指称选择与语篇情节结构的关系。数据是通过让被试用日语向朋友讲述一部动画电影的故事而得出的。我将指称表达定义为话语中指称人或物的表达，并将所谓的“ko-，so-，a-”指示词作为指称表达的一个子类。我认为NP和省略都是指称表达的形式。根据Clancy（1980）和Givon（1983）的研究，指称选择的一般原则是：1）NP应用于指称的第一次引导; 2）省略应用于听话人意识中心的指称;第三章NP应用于指称距离较大或发生干扰时的指称物。在我的数据中，以日语为母语的人经常违反这些原则通过在省略不会引起任何歧义的情况下使用NP，甚至在所指对象可能有歧义的情况下使用省略来实现。我证明了本族语者使用这些NP和省略号来标记语篇的部分。与此相反，一些非本族语使用者在动词施事所指发生变化时不使用NP来标记语篇结构，或者在指称主要人物时经常使用省略。
