语篇理解的推理研究

语篇理解在很大程度上取决于推理的产生,对推理的研究一直是语篇阅读理解研究的关键部分。一语语篇理解的推理研究经历了三个阶段,二语语篇理解的推理逐渐引起研究者们的关注。影响推理过程的因素主要有读者因素和语篇因素。研究者们提出了最小假设模型、建构主义理论、现时状态选择策略和因果推理产生模型等理论模型来描述推理过程、预测推理内容、解释推理结果。

Inference Studies of Text Comprehension

Text comprehension depends largely on the generation of inferences,the study of inference is always the crucial aspect of text reading comprehension.Inference study in L1 has gone through three periods,and in L2 it has aroused researchers’ attention gradually.The process of generating inference is constrained by two major factors: text-based variable and reader-based variable.Several theories and models have been constituted to elaborately picture the process,predict the content,and explain the result of inference.Among them,the most popular ones are Minimalist Hypotheses,Constructionist Theory,Current-state Selection Model and the Causal Inference Maker Model.
