摘　　要：近20年来,回指解读逐渐成为当代语言学研究的热点议题之一。然而,迄今为止的回指解读研究,能将语言产出与理解在句法和语义两个层面上结合起来探讨的文献却不多见。为此,本文采用句子补全和接受度评定两种方法,在115名被试中考察了话题结构和动词语义对回指解读的影响。所得结果表明:1)话题与主语相比,话题具有更高的认知突显度;2)前指向动词与后指向动词相比,前指向动词对回指对象选择的影响更大;3)话题结构和动词语义对代词回指的影响受任务模态的调控。Most previous studies concerning anaphora resolution have either been unable to integrate syntactic and semantic constraints in discussion, or failed to take both comprehension and production into consideration. By using a written completion test and two sentence acceptability tests, this study investigates how the topic status of the antecedent candidates and the verb-based implicit causality exert their influence on the interpretation of anaphora in Mandarin Chinese. The results reveal that:(1) antecedents in the topic position have more opportunities to be referred to than those in the nontopic position;(2) forward biased verbs exert more influence on the determination of pronoun's referents than backward biased verbs do; and (3) the influence of topic structure and verb semantics on pronoun resolution is modulated by the modality of the task adopted.
