摘要

事件在时间上如何排序是指导我们理解世界的最基本信息之一。在语言学中,这种顺序通常不会被明确提及。在这里,我们提出,在语言理解中,对时间顺序的心理构解是基于事件结构属性的。这一预测基于事件感知和语言中状态与事件之间的核心区别:在感知中,动态事件比静态状态更突出。在语言中,陈述性谓词和事件性谓词在语法行为和处理方式上也有所不同。与我们的预测相一致的是,七个预先登记的视频-句子匹配实验数据(每个实验用英语和德语进行,总人数 = 674)表明,人们会根据这种差异做出时间推断:状态先于事件。我们的研究结果不仅对不同的时间语言理解理论进行了仲裁,而且还推进了关于事件认知和语言这两种不同认知能力如何整合形成时间心理表征的理论模型。

Temporal construal in sentence comprehension depends on linguistically encoded event structure
How events are ordered in time is one of the most fundamental pieces of information guiding our understanding of the world. Linguistically, this order is often not mentioned explicitly. Here, we propose that the mental construal of temporal order in language comprehension is based on event-structural properties. This prediction is based on a central distinction between states and events both in event perception and language: In perception, dynamic events are more salient than static states. In language, stative and eventive predicates also differ, both in their grammatical behavior and how they are processed. Consistent with our predictions, data from seven pre-registered video-sentence matching experiments, each conducted in English and German (total N = 674), show that people draw temporal inferences based on this difference: States precede events. Our findings not only arbitrate between different theories of temporal language comprehension; they also advance theoretical models of how two different cognitive capacities - event cognition and language - integrate to form a mental representation of time.

期刊介绍: Cognition is an international journal that publishes theoretical and experimental papers on the study of the mind. It covers a wide variety of subjects concerning all the different aspects of cognition, ranging from biological and experimental studies to formal analysis. Contributions from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, mathematics, ethology and philosophy are welcome in this journal provided that they have some bearing on the functioning of the mind. In addition, the journal serves as a forum for discussion of social and political aspects of cognitive science.
