【摘要】 本文借鉴心智阅读的实验研究成果,通过讨论心智阅读的认知特征、推理机制以及语用认知与心智阅读的关系,探讨了该领域长期争论的语用认知是否有模块性特征的问题。有人认为语用理解加工属于认知系统的中央系统,不具有模块性质。然而,由于对认知加工系统的模块性有了新的认识,不把模块性视为其属性而视为其机制;而且发展心理、发展语用以及神经学的实验研究表明认知理解有层次性和程度性差异,不同程度/层次的理解有其特有机制和规律。这为语用认知的模块性提供了心理现实依据。然而,本文意图不在于做出结论,而在于引起争鸣。本文最后提出的问题足以推翻前文对语用认知模块的论证,其目的也在于此。更多还原

【Abstract】 On the basis of the experimental studies available, this paper discusses a long-debating issue in the pragmatics world, i.e. whether pragma-cognition is modular, by analyzing the cognitive characteristics and mechanism of mind reading as well as the interrelation between pragma-cognition and mind reading. It was long held that pragmatics is in the central part of human cognitive system and is not modular in nature. However, no matter what is with the new definition of modularity of cognitive system, which is no longer regarded as its property but mechanism, what is with the levels and degrees of cognition and the corresponding unique rules or mechanisms at each level or degree as indicated in the experimental studies of developmental pragmatics, developmental psychology and neurology, evidence seems to be favorable to the modularity of pragma-cognition. However, the aim of this paper is not to make any conclusion but to invite further discussion about the pragmatic-cognitive process, which is also shown in the last part, where the author raises a few questions which are challenging to the forgoing argumentation favorable to the modularity of pragma-cognition. As for whether pragma-cognition is modular or whether there is an independent pragma-cognition module, many researchers hold different views and the discussions are still going on.更多还原
