汉语儿童否定词与量词辖域交互习得的发展性研究

发布时间：2024-04-23 01:14

　　在英语中,含有两个逻辑算子的句子会产生歧义。例如“a little duck didn’t sit on the chair”里的否定词和量词的辖域相互影响,从而句子可以理解为“有一只小鸭子没有坐到椅子上”或者“没有一只小鸭子坐到椅子上”,前者为同构解读,后者为非同构解读。同时,这两种解读形成了一种不对称的蕴涵关系,也即非同构解读蕴含同构解读。虽然从理论上来说,拥有同一种结构的汉语句式也可以产生两种语义解读,但是理论学家在研究中一致认为,汉语在绝大多数情况下不存在辖域歧义。然而,这一观点受到了挑战。实证研究发现,儿童和成人都接受量化否定句的非同构解读,即接受辖域歧义。因此,针对这一争议,本文旨在研究其他包含否定成分的量化句式是否会产生辖域歧义。有学者曾提出当儿童遇到句子的两个解读,并且其中一种解读蕴含另一种解读时,他们就会遇到语义次级问题(Semantic Subset Problem)。为了解决这一问题,学者们提出了语义子集原则(Semantic Subset Principle)和语义子集公理(Semantic Subset Maxim)。针对这两个原则,不同研究所作出的评价褒贬不...
