连贯(coherence)是语篇的基本特征,在语篇理解中起重要作用。推理是语篇理解者构建语篇连贯的重要手段之一,因而也是构成语篇理解的基础。推理不仅仅涉及语篇信息的长时表征,也包括与连贯有关的信息短时激活,在语篇理解和信息加工系统中有其特定的制约和激发机制,语篇连贯离不开推理。文章探讨了推理(inference)和连贯的关系及其在语篇理解中的作用。
Coherence is the basic feature of discourse and plays an important role in discourse comprehension. Reasoning is one of the important means by which discourse comprehension constructs discourse coherence and therefore also forms the basis of discourse comprehension. Reasoning involves not only the long-term characterization of discourse information, but also the short-time activation of coherence-related information. It has its own specific restraining and stimulating mechanism in discourse comprehension and information processing systems, and discourse coherence can not be separated from reasoning. The article explores inference and coherence and their role in discourse comprehension.
