The cognitive process of Chinese reflexive processing
汉语反身代词认知过程研究

Abstract 摘要
Cross-modal semantic priming and lexical judgment methods are adopted in this research to examine the cognitive process of the referent of Chinese reflexive ziji and the relationship between the two properties of “local binding” and “long-distance binding”. It was found that there exist several temporal stages of the processing of ziji. At the early stage of sentence processing (SOA=0ms), ziji is bound to the embedded subject within the Governing Category, which is consistent with Binding Principle A. However, at the second stage (SOA=160ms), ziji is bound to the matrix subject, namely long-distance binding. As to the third stage (SOA=370ms), the difference of the binding relationships between ziji and the two alternative subjects is not prominent any more. Both kinds of subjects give rise to semantic priming to target words. It means that the syntactic analysis of sentence processing has been finished and the semantic integration stage begins.

本文采用跨通道语义启动和词汇判断等实验的方法，考察了汉语反身代词「自己」回指的认知理解过程，并进一步分析了汉语反身代词「自己」的「局部约束」和「长距离回指」这两个特点之间的关系。实验结果发现对「自己」的加工存在有几个不同的阶段：在句子加工早期阶段（SOA=0毫秒），「自己」在管辖语域内受到约束，与约束A原则相符；而在第二个阶段（SOA=160毫秒），「自己」已经表现出受到主句主语的约束，即「长距离约束」；在句子加工的第三个阶段（SOA=370毫秒），主句主语与「自己」的约束关系以及从句主语与「自己」的约束关系之间的差别已经不显著，但两类主语都表现出了对目标词语义上的启动。说明句子的理解已完成句法分析，进入语义整合阶段。
