議論文體中的抽象實體回指（簡體書）

目前國內外對于回指的研究主要是名詞性回指。不同的研究者從不同的角度對回指現象進行了研究，如句法、語義、語用、認知、心理以及人工智能。
本專著是作者在其博士論文的基礎上修改而成的。該書的創新之處在于確定了抽象實體回指是一種獨立于其他回指的形式。她將這種現象作為一種特殊類別的回指處理，研究其語用特徵及理解規律，研究方式在采用實證與思辨的有機結合的基礎上也有創新，不僅對英語中的抽象實體回指和具體事物回指進行定性與定量分析和比較，而且對漢語中的回指現象也進行了系統的分析比較，側重思辨，輔以實證，并基於語料中對SDRT理論進行質疑與改進，提出新的解決辦法。該書可供各大專院校作為教材使用，也可供從事相關工作的人員作為參考用書使用。
