Abstract A range of studies on language use suggests that there is a general contrast between two kinds of discourse processing. Based on a review of these studies, which rest on a number of different methodological approaches and perspectives, the present paper argues that there is in fact converging evidence in support of the hypothesis that linguistic discourse has a dualistic structure. Central to this structure is a distinction between what tends to be referred to, respectively, as the microstructure and the macrostructure of discourse. Furthermore, it is argued that the distinction shows significant neurolinguistic correlations, and that these correlations concern the lateralization of the cerebral brain.

关于话语处理二元性的一些观察

摘要关于语言使用的一系列研究表明，两种语篇处理之间存在普遍的对比。基于对这些研究的回顾，这些研究基于许多不同的方法论方法和观点，本文认为实际上有越来越多的证据支持语言话语具有二元结构的假说。该结构的中心是分别被称为话语的微观结构和宏观结构之间的区别。此外，有人认为这种区别显示出明显的神经语言相关性，并且这些相关性关系到大脑的侧脑化。
