摘 要: 本研究旨在考察正负情感与空间指示语选择之间的关系。实验用模拟情境诱发被试使用空间指示语去指别两个等距且可能引发正负情感对照的所指物。结果表明,情感倾向确实影响空间指示语的选择。当指别正情感的所指物时,被试强烈地倾向于使用近指“这”;当指别负情感的所指物时,被试强烈地倾向于使用远指“那”。实验结果支持心理空间建构观,但不支持空间距离观。作者指出远近指示语的选择取决于所指物在说话人心中的主观构建。 This study aims to investigate the relationship between positive/negative emotions and the choice of spatial demonstrafives. Simulated situations were employed to elicit the use of spatial demonstratives by the informants who were asked to refer to two equidistant referents contrasting with each other in that one referent might arouse positive emotions and the other might arouse negative ones. The result showed that the emotional preference did influence the choice of spatial demonstratives. When referring to the positive referents,the informants tended strongly to use the proximal "zhe" (this) while referring to the negative referents, they tended strongly to use the distal "ha" ( that ). The result of this experiment supports the mental space building view instead of the spatialist view. The author points out that the choice of the proximal and distal demonstratives is determined by the subjective construction of the referent in the speaker's mind.
