项目摘要

The main purpose of the present research project has been to construct an integrated model of language, incorporating results from syntax, semantics and pragmatics. In order to fully understand the mechanism of language, it is essential that we know how the core computation feeds other cognitive mechanisms, such as concept formation and discourse management. In a language like Japanese, which lacks the major driving force in syntax, i.e. the rich agreement system, most of the interesting things should be found by looking into what happens at the interface level.With those assumptions, we have tried to develop techniques to isolate syntactically licensed phenomena from those that are regulated by cognitive constraints. The structures that are referred to by syntactic licensing are necessarily determined by two factors : merge and linearization. The structural factors must, therefore, be definable by (asymmetric) c-command and/or linear precedence, with concomitant division of labor between the two. If a condition on a construction is outside these two structural factors, it must necessarily be of nonstructural nature. The structural factors are identifiable and judged by native speakers as being categorial, because c-command and linear precedence are categorial notions. The cognitive factors are judged as continuous ; cognitive relations such as proximity, scalar implication etc. are, by its very nature, continuous. We have demonstrated that this is indeed the case by examining the uses of demonstratives, deictic time nouns, conditionals in Japanese and other languages.The results of the present research project were presented at Glow in Asia, the Linguistic Society of Japan, International Conferences on Cognitive Sciences, and other national and international conferences.

本研究项目的主要目的是构建语言综合模型，并结合语法，语义和语用学的结果。为了充分理解语言的机制，我们必须知道核心计算如何为其他认知机制（例如概念形成和话语管理）提供。在像日语这样的语言中，缺乏语法中的主要驱动力，即丰富的协议系统，应该通过研究接口级别的情况来找到大多数有趣的事物。与这些假设相关，我们试图开发从索法义面许可现象的技术，从那些受到认知约束来调节的现象。句法许可提到的结构必然取决于两个因素：合并和线性化。因此，结构因素必须通过（不对称）C命令和/或线性优先级可以定义，并在两者之间伴随劳动分配。如果结构上的条件不在这两个结构性因素之外，则一定具有非结构性性质。结构性因素是可以识别的，并由母语者判断为分类，因为C命令和线性优先是类别概念。认知因素被认为是连续的。从本质上讲，邻近，标量含义等的认知关系是连续的。我们已经证明，确实是通过检查示范的使用，地位时间名词，日语和其他语言的有条件的使用。本研究项目的结果是在亚洲Glow，日本语言学会，国际认知科学会议以及其他国家和国际会议上介绍的。
