交流中词汇对齐的人际连接作用及心理机制
Interpersonal Connection and Psychological Mechanisms of Lexical Alignment in Conversational Interaction
摘要: 研究聚焦人际互动过程中的词汇对齐现象。现有研究证实,词汇对齐的产生受语义特征、交际情景、个体心理特质等多重因素共同约束;借助神经影像学技术可进一步证实,该现象在交流早期便快速启动,且伴随独特的大脑协同神经活动。未来相关研究可从理论模型整合优化、研究方法创新拓展、受试群体扩大等方面深化探索,同时推动词汇对齐理论在语言教学、人机交互、社交心理等领域的应用,提升语言学习效率、迭代智能语言系统并丰富人机互动相关研究。
Abstract: This study centers on the phenomenon of lexical alignment in interpersonal interaction. Existing empirical evidence demonstrates that the emergence of lexical alignment is jointly constrained by multiple factors including semantic features, communicative contexts, and individual psychological traits. Neuroimaging techniques further validate that lexical alignment initiates rapidly at the early stage of communication, accompanied by distinctive neural synchronization across brain regions. Future research can advance along three dimensions: integrating and optimizing theoretical frameworks, innovating and expanding methodological approaches, and broadening the scope of research participants. Meanwhile, it is necessary to promote the practical application of lexical alignment theories in fields such as language teaching, human-computer interaction, and social psychology, so as to improve the efficiency of language acquisition, upgrade intelligent linguistic systems, and enrich research on social interaction.
