中文新异组合概念的解释及影响因素

通过分析600名中国大学生对32个概念组成的160个新异组合概念的解释，考察了中文名词-名词组合概念的解释策略及影响因素。结果表明：⑴关系解释和属性解释是两种主要的解释策略；⑵第一个子概念具有显著属性的组合概念得到更多的属性解释；⑶子概念之间相似性的高低不影响属性解释出现的比率，但影响关系解释出现的比率；⑷生物组合概念比人造物组合概念得到更多的属性解释。其中的新发现既不支持关系竞争理论，也不支持双重加工理论，引出了有待研究的新问题。

INTERPRETATIONS OF CHINESE NOVELCOMBINED CONCEPTS AND RELATED FACTORS

The study addressed how people understand Chinese noun-noun combined concepts and the related factors on interpretation strategy. In the experiment 600 Chinese undergraduates interpreted 160 combined concepts made of 32 concepts. The results showed that: (a) Property inter pretation and relation interpretation were two primary strategies; (b) subjects preferred property interpretation to relation interpretation when the first sub-concept had a salient feature; (c) the similarity between two sub-concepts had no effect on property interpretation, but had effect on relation interpretation; and (d) combination of living things got more property interpretation, but combination of artifacts got more relation interpretation. Some new findings were inconsistent with either Competition Among Relations in Nominals Theory or Dual-Process Theory, which indicated new issues in the field of conceptual combination.
