摘　　要：本文从分析英语动宾结构单句语篇中照应词指代对象呈确定性入手,探讨了在很多情况下照应词的指代对象也呈非确定性,但由于人们的思维定势,非确定性经常被英语学习者和研究者忽视。文章还认为照应词的指代对象呈确定性或呈非确定性是有规律可循的:若照应词后接抽象名词,那么照应词指代对象呈确定性;如照应词后接具体名词,照应词指代对象则呈非确定性。The indeterminacy of the referents of intra- sentential anaphora in verb-object structures of single-sentence English texts is often neglected by English learners and researchers because of their modes of thinking. The paper offers a rule to distinguish between determinacy and indeterminacy : if the intrasentential anaphora is followed by an abstract noun, its referent is in determinacy and if the intrasentential anaphora is followed by a concrete noun, its referent is in indeterminacy.
