A STUDY OF ANAPHORA IN DISCOURSE : AN APPROACH FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR,INFORMATION STRUCTURE,AND RELEVANCE THEORY.

本文旨在从功能语法、信息结构理论和关联理论的角度来阐释语篇中回指和桥接照应的原则。研究结果如下：1.在关联理论的框架下，我在Kato（1996 c）[International Journal of Pragmatics，VI]中提出了“话语回指的关联条件“，声称要捕捉话语回指.我在Kato（1996 a）[上越教育大学公报，15-2]、Kato（1996 b）[English and Usage，13]和Kato（1996 c）的关联理论框架中提出了“桥接推理程序”和“桥接指涉的关联条件”。3。4.在Kato（1997，出版中）的信息结构理论框架下，我阐明了被动结构在语篇中的功能特性[Joetsu University of Education，16-2]。在Kato（1997年）[女士]案中，本文在关联理论的框架下提出了“疑问句切分的关联假设”，该理论认为疑问句切分在语篇中的功能特征是由关联假设决定的.我已经建立了一个数据库，其中存储了回指表达，桥接参考的例子，以及与信息结构和关联理论有关的数据。

In this research, I have aimed to elucidate the principles that govern anaphora and bridging reference in discourse in the framework of Functional Grammar, Information Structure, and Relevance Theory. The outcomes of the study are as follows :1. In the framework of Relevance Theory, I have proposed in Kato (1996c) [International Journal of Pragmatics, VI] "Relevance Condition on Discourse Anaphora, " which claims to capture discourse anaphora.2. I have proposed "Bridging Inferential Procedures, " and "Relevance Condition on Bridging Reference" in the framework of Relevance Theory in Kato (1996a) [Bulletin of Joetsu University of Education, 15-2], Kato (1996b) [English and Usage, 13], and Kato (1996c).3. I have clarified the functional properties of passive constructions in discourse in the framework of Information Structure in Kato (1997, in press) [Bulletin of Joetsu University of Education, 16-2].4. In Kato (1997) [ms.], I have advanced in the framework of Relevance Theory, "Relevance Hypothesis for Wh-clefts", which claims to govern the functional characteristics of Wh-clefts in discourse.5. I have constructed a database which stores examples of anaphoric expressions, bridging reference, and data concerned with information structures and Relevance Theory.
