摘　　要：Ariel把英语主要的指称词语按可及性等级进行了排列,分析发现,这一序列从两个层面上能够反映数量象似性原则的要求。我们在对可及性编码的三原则与数量象似性原则进行对比后发现,数量象似性原则完全可以取代可及性编码三原则中的信息量原则和简略度原则,这在实现可及性与象似性融通的同时,更能突出信息量原则与简略度原则之间的相互关联。Ariel has produced an accessibility hierarchy of English referring expressions, which, according to our analysis, can be illustrated in terms of iconic quantity on two analytical levels. With a contrastive analysis of the three principles in accessibility coding and iconic quantity, it is found that iconic quantity principle may well replace two out of the three accessibility coding principles, i. e. informativity and attenuation. In so doing, accessibility theory and iconicity theory are conjoined, in the meanwhile the relationship between informativity and attenuation is further highlighted.
