摘要

句法运动的神经基础已被广泛研究;然而,很少有人注意到这样一个事实,即在主谓宾(SVO)语言中存在着跨语言偏好,即填充物先于空白(填充物优先)结构和空白先于填充(空白优先)结构。这项功能磁共振成像研究旨在探索这种偏好是否有认知基础。在汉语中,不同的句法运动导致了不同的填充物-空隙顺序:话题化(填充物优先)和相对化(空隙优先),包括主语和宾语关系从句。数据显示,空白优先与填充物优先的对比激活了左侧颞前回(L-ATL),有时激活了左侧丘脑。我们认为L-ATL(和左丘脑)被调动是因为对动词进行了更深层次的语义检索,以促进其与主题角色分配的间隙合并。我们的研究结果为SVO语言中填充优先和间隙优先结构的偏好提供了可能的认知解释。

Better early than late for a filler: An fMRI study on the filler-gap order in language

The neural substrates of syntactic movements have been heavily investigated; however, little attention was paid to the fact that there was a cross-linguistic preference for filler-before-gap (filler-first) to gap-before-filler (gap-first) structures in subject-verb-object (SVO) languages. This fMRI study aimed to explore whether there was a cognitive basis for such a preference. Different filler-gap orders resulting from various syntactic movements were tested in Chinese: topicalization (filler-first) and relativization (gap-first, including subject and object relative clauses). The data showed that gap-first vs. filler-first contrasts activated the left anterior temporal gyrus (L-ATL) and sometimes the left thalamus. We argued that the L-ATL (and the left thalamus) was recruited because deeper semantic retrieval was performed on the verb to facilitate its merge with the gap for thematic role assignment. Our results provided a possible cognitive explanation for the preference for filler-first to gap-first structures in SVO languages.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Neurolinguistics is an international forum for the integration of the neurosciences and language sciences. JNL provides for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research into the interaction between language, communication and brain processes. The focus is on rigorous studies of an empirical or theoretical nature and which make an original contribution to our knowledge about the involvement of the nervous system in communication and its breakdowns. Contributions from neurology, communication disorders, linguistics, neuropsychology and cognitive science in general are welcome. Published articles will typically address issues relating some aspect of language or speech function to its neurological substrates with clear theoretical import. Interdisciplinary work on any aspect of the biological foundations of language and its disorders resulting from brain damage is encouraged. Studies of normal subjects, with clear reference to brain functions, are appropriate. Group-studies on well defined samples and case studies with well documented lesion or nervous system dysfunction are acceptable. The journal is open to empirical reports and review articles. Special issues on aspects of the relation between language and the structure and function of the nervous system are also welcome.
