And then the key technology of system, the main reference machine design, is given more description.

This study was designed to explore the effects of titles on skilled and less skilled Chinese EFL readers’ on-line thematic inference-making processes during narrative text comprehension.

Construction of the theme of discourse was the purpose of discourse comprehension, which was realized by the thematic inference.

But the less skilled students couldn t fulfill the thematic inference during reading.

We will find that because Chinese is an isolated languge, compared with Indo-European languges, there are three differences of semantic changes in Chinese: first, semantic extended in Chinese doesn’t limit in some meaning’s domain; second, different type of subjective reasoning can impact semantic change of the same word; and the last, the meanings of Chinese can only increase, but not reduce.

A contrastive study of the topical inference and integration in narratives;

In 2 experiments, the effects of working memory span on the topical inference processing in English text reading of college students were tested.

The purpose of this study was to contrast the topical inference ability and information integration of the junior high school students with undergraduates in narrative text, and explored the connection of both of them.

The overall scope of this dissertation is to provide an account of temporal system in Chinese from the viewpoint of cognitive-functional linguistics and Derivatism, that is, to present a semantic-pragmatic explanation for correlations between tense and aspect, especially between deixical point and cognitive window, and between cognitive window and event.
