| Research Abstract |
This research project aimed at clarifying the human cognitive processes of comprehension, memory, and production of text and discourse. Especially, in this project, we pursued the psychological principles of anaphora resolution and text summarization, because that the anaphora resolution is necessary to grasp the coherent relationship among sentences in a text and the summarization needs all the cognitive activities of understanding, memory, and production of text. As a result of the project, we found out several factors affecting anaphora resolution. The factors include those in such different levels as syntactic, semantic, thematic, and pragmatic. We also found out that the summarization process consists of three cognitive sub-processes, i.e., the construction process of meaning representation of text, the determination process of the gist information of the meaning representation, and the production process of the surface expression of the gist information.
