Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Colorado at Boulder, 1993.

The purpose of the current study is to discuss the possible occurrence of zero anaphora in the discourse of pro-drop language, Mandarin Chinese; to explain whether the heavy use of zero anaphora makes the arrangements of noun reference in Chinese discourse different from discourse in non-pro-drop languages like English; and to address the question of how people process discourse information when there is abundant use of zero anaphora. This work includes two new empirical studies on the occurrence of zero anaphora in Mandarin Chinese: the study of the discourse environments for the occurrence of zero anaphora, and the possible impact of the use of zero anaphora on native Chinese speakers' cognitive strategies in discourse processing.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of the current study is to discuss the possible occurrence of zero anaphora in the discourse of pro-drop language, Mandarin Chinese; to explain whether the heavy use of zero anaphora makes the arrangements of noun reference in Chinese discourse different from discourse in non-pro-drop languages like English; and to address the question of how people process discourse information when there is abundant use of zero anaphora. This work includes two new empirical studies on the occurrence of zero anaphora in Mandarin Chinese: the study of the discourse environments for the occurrence of zero anaphora, and the possible impact of the use of zero anaphora on native Chinese speakers' cognitive strategies in discourse processing.
520 $a In the study of anaphoric devices, zero anaphora appears especially fascinating because its specific form--which is actually the absence of any overt linguistic form--may trigger ambiguous interpretations of single sentences, yet such sentences seldom appear ambiguous in any discourse setting; thus the use of zero anaphora provides a special area in which to explore the arrangement of information flow in natural language use.
520 $a To explain the cognitive strategies in processing discourse with abundant zero anaphora, the study proposes a hypothesis of emergent reference as a cognitive model explaining discourse processing strategies in Chinese. Emergent reference describes how speakers of Chinese resolve what would otherwise be ambiguous propositions. This model is not a primary strategy for English speakers, who seem to rely more on structural cues than Chinese speakers in reference tracking. The study makes two significant predictions: one, the structure of people's native languages provides specific cognitive strategies for processing their native language; and two (based on the first hypothesis), these cognitive strategies may have a great impact on second language learning. The two hypotheses have been supported successfully in three experiments.
