摘要: 处理数量语义信息时存在左右轴表征作用,还是更多为上的隐喻语义表征。本文从具身认知观的视角,探讨中文数量语义信息处理时是否存在空间表征效应。阅读数量信息的句子,实验一受试用手指顺上下轴的方向(运动和非运动)转换按键来计时阅读,实验二,受试用手指顺左右轴的方向(运动和非运动)转换按键来计时阅读。研究发现空间动作一致性效应在上下轴中存在。本研究在认知语言学更多为上的隐喻原则基础上对数据结果进行了讨论。

Abstract: Previous research suggests that the left-right axis is useful in spatial representation of number and quantity, while cognitive linguistics found evidence pointing towards the use of the up-down axis. In this study, the space-action compatibility effect was examined while readers were reading sentences containing quantity information in Chinese text. In Experiment 1, participants pressed an upward or downward button to advance the sentence reading. In Experiment 2, participants pressed a button to make either left or right movement. The space-action compatibility effect was identified on the up-down axis, but not on the left-right axis. We discuss the results in the context of cognitive linguistics in terms of comprehending abstract language such as quantity information using “more is up” metaphor.

Key words: Chinese quantity, sentence processing, embodied cognition, perception and action planning, space-action compatibility effect.
