口语和手语认知中的言语分割机制

Mechanisms of Cognition In Spoken and Sign Language Segmentation

口语和手语都具有自然语言属性。虽然口语和手语在语言输入方式上存在本质差异,但在语言分割时都遵循PWC规则。语言分割是指个体将输入言语信息分割成独立词汇,然后理解话语的意义。PWC规则是一种合理词汇约束规则,当单词符合合理的构词规则时,句子中的词汇才会被识别成一个真词,不合理的词汇会被抑制。在口语和手语认知中,PWC规则是一种普遍的语言分割规则。

Spoken and sign language share the properties of natural language.Although there exist essential differences in input modes between them,they both conform to the rule of possible word constraints(PWC).Language segmentation refers to individuals’ dividing verbal information into independent words to understand the given information.The rule of PWC is a reasonable vocabulary constraint rule.Only when it fits certain reasonable word formation rules,will a word be identified as a real word;otherwise,it will be inhibited.In the recognition of spoken and sign language,PWC is a prevalent rule of language segmentation.
