摘　　要：向心理论是关于语篇处理和语篇局部结构的理论,它所关注的重点是处理难度、语篇回指和语篇连贯性等问题。向心理论旨在解释自然产生的语篇中交际参与者的注意中心,涉及注意状态、推理难度和指称形式这三者之间的关系。本文拟对向心理论进行简要的评述。Centering theory is concerned with discourse processing and local discourse structure. It places special emphasis on processing complexity, discourse anaphora and the coherence of discourse. In specific terms, centering is a model of the discourse participants' center of attention in discourse. It attempts to account for the relationship of attentional state, inferential complexity, and the form of referring expressions. This paper provides a brief account and review of Centering Theory.
