中文摘要： 本项目以独特的汉语声调的水平映射和垂直映射这两种远距离规则为材料，通过对表面特征与底层规则之间的分离操作，探讨声调远距离规则的习得、迁移和神经机制，为内隐学习的抽象性和规则性提供强有力的新证据。具体来说，本项目将：（1）在前期水平映射规则的内隐习得研究基础上，探讨垂直映射规则的内隐习得，提升先前研究结果的普遍性；（2）考察远距离规则的内隐学习在不同长度材料上的迁移，为内隐学习的规则抽象性提供确定性证据，同时对于解答乔姆斯基关于人类语言无限生成能力（一旦人们掌握了某种语法，就能够基于有限的语言经验生成无限多的句子）提供新思路；（3）借助事件相关fMRI技术考察抽象性规则所对应的神经活动，以廓清人类远距离规则内隐学习的大脑皮层机制。

英文摘要： The project aims to examine the implicit acquisition,transfer and brain mechanism of Chinese tonal nonadjacent regularities. Implicit learning is the term coined by Reber (1967) to describe the process by which people come to be sensitive to structural regularities without necessarily intending to do so and without being conscious of the content of the knowledge. A fundamental issue is how to characterize the structures that can be implicitly learnt. That is whether people could learn the abstract underlying regularity or only some chunks and exemplars. Because finite state grammar has high family resemblance, nonadjacent regularity provides a new perspective to explore the abstractness of implicit learning. Although there are some evidence suggesting that, under certain conditions,people can learn nonlocal dependencies.However, in these studies, the rule was not abstract enough and the role of awareness was never directly assessed, therefore leaving open the questions as to whether abstract nonadjacent rule could be learnt and whether the knowledge was explicit or implicit. As a typical tonal language, Chinese use tones to signal different meanings.Tone as an irreplaceable yet rather neglected factor of this delicate combination, is one of the initial speech features that young children acquired long before any
