摘要: 双模态双语者同时使用一种口语和一种手语，这种跨模态的语言交流为研究语言与认知的关系提供了独特视角。本文系统梳理了该双模态双语者的语言机制的理论进展与方法学范式。研究表明，双模态双语者的语言加工机制显著区别于单模态双语者，其语言控制更依赖于输出通道选择而非抑制机制，词汇通达呈现并行激活与非竞争性特点。这些发现催生了模态通道分离假说、并行激活–非竞争选择模型等新理论框架。研究方法也从生态化观察范式扩展到行为实验和多模态神经成像技术。本文进一步探讨了当前理论争议和方法学挑战，并提出未来研究应关注中国手语–汉语体系、发展性研究以及应用转化。
Abstract: Bimodal bilinguals, who use a spoken language and a sign language simultaneously, offer a unique perspective for investigating the relationship between language and cognition through cross-modal communication. This article systematically reviews theoretical advances and methodological paradigms in the study of their language mechanisms. Research demonstrates that the language processing mechanisms of bimodal bilinguals are fundamentally distinct from those of unimodal bilinguals, with language control relying more on output channel selection rather than inhibitory mechanisms, and lexical access characterized by parallel activation and non-competitive selection. These findings have spurred the development of new theoretical frameworks, such as the Modality Channel Separation Hypothesis and the Parallel Activation-Non-Competitive Selection Model. Methodologically, the field has expanded from ecological observational paradigms to behavioral experiments and multimodal neuroimaging techniques. This review further discusses current theoretical debates and methodological challenges, proposing future research directions focusing on the Chinese Sign Language-Mandarin system, developmental studies, and practical applications.
