摘要: 词汇推理指读者综合利用背景知识和语篇信息来推理非熟悉单词意义的一种认知策略，是读者阅读过程中不可或缺的认知过程。词汇推理不仅对语言学习者词汇知识发展有着重要作用，更能促进其对语篇意义的理解。本文回顾词汇推理相关理论基础和该领域开展的实证研究，分析这一领域存在的争议，并对词汇推理未来研究方向进行展望，以期为研究者在该领域开展更为深入的相关研究提供有意义的借鉴。
Abstract: Lexical inference refers to a cognitive strategy where readers integrate background knowledge and discourse information to infer the meanings of unfamiliar words, and it is an indispensable cognitive process in the reading activity of readers. Lexical inference not only plays a crucial role in the development of vocabulary knowledge for language learners but also enhances their understanding of the overall meaning of the text. This paper reviews the relevant theoretical foundations and empirical research conducted in the field of lexical inference, analyzes the controversies within this domain, and forecasts future research directions in lexical inference. The aim is to provide meaningful insights for researchers to carry out more in-depth studies in this field.
