李 侠 王贝贝：论思想语言的结构敏感性与“列车隐喻”

摘  要： 思想语言不仅是心理表征的载体，而且还是语义加载与心的计算理论的载体。思想语言为了实现上述两大功能，在心理表征过程中一方面体现出对于句法结构的敏感性；另一方面，在语义加载过程中还体现出对于语境的敏感性。列车隐喻可以很好地解释心理表征中的概念性内容与非概念性内容在个体层面与亚个体层面的表达机制，以及两类心理内容与结构敏感性的关系。

 On Structure Sensitivity about  Language of Thought and the “Train Metaphor”

LI Xia, WANG Bei-bei

Abstract: Language of Thought（LOT） is not only a medium for mental representation, but also a carrier of semantic load and computational theory of mind. In order to perform the above functions, on the one hand, LOT is sensitive to syntax in the process of mental representation, and on the other hand, it is sensitive to context during the semantics loading process. The“Train Metaphor” can help to explain the mechanism of mental representation between conceptual and non-conceptual content on the level of personal and subpersonal. The “Train Metaphor” can also explain relations between structure sensitivity and two types of mental content.

Key words: language of thought; sensitivity of structure; mental content; metaphor
