Linguistics research on 'unconscious knowledge' related to the right brain-hemisphere represents a shift from the prevalent scientific investigation of the linguistic processes of grammatical structures associated with the dominant 'verbal' left brain-hemisphere. This study explores the relationship among primordial thought language, body boundary awareness and syntactic features--i.e., telicity, perfectivity and transitivity-in autobiographical narratives of everyday and dream memories. The results showed that event descriptions with atelic predicates and intransitive structures were more frequent in dream recall than in narratives of everyday memories. Primordial thought language and body boundary awareness, however, decreased with atelic predicates and transitive structures, which might indicate both the tendency of events to describe result states, such as achievements and accomplishments, as a means to bring about an unconscious wish fulfilment and the emphasis on event arguments to be realised without the inclusion of an external object. In narratives of everyday memories, penetration imagery increased with imperfective verb forms and decreased with perfective verb forms, and emotion lexis increased with atelic predicates and transitive structures, but not in dream memories.
关于右脑半球“无意识知识”的语言学研究，代表了从对与占主导地位的“言语”左脑半球相关的语法结构语言过程的普遍科学研究的转变。本研究探讨了原始思想语言、身体边界意识和句法特征（即终结性、完成性和及物性）在日常和梦境记忆的自传体叙述中的关系。结果表明，在梦境回忆中，带有非终结性谓语和不及物结构的事件描述比在日常记忆叙述中更频繁。然而，原始思想语言和身体边界意识随着非终结性谓语和及物结构而减少，这可能既表明将事件描述为结果状态（如成就和完成）的倾向，作为实现无意识愿望的一种手段，也表明强调事件论据在不包含外部对象的情况下得以实现。在日常记忆叙述中，渗透意象随着未完成动词形式增加，随着完成动词形式减少，情感词汇随着非终结性谓语和及物结构增加，但在梦境记忆中并非如此。
