离合词是词还是短语?——来自神经电生理学的证据

An ERP Approach on Whether Split Words Are Words or Phrases

文章运用事件相关电位技术(ERP)通过语义判断任务考察了人脑对合成词、离合词和短语的加工情况。实验结果显示,离合词与合成词具有不同的存储形式和语义整合方式,离合词的构成不依赖词法而依赖句法。因此,实验结果不支持"词说"和"合时为词,离时为短语"的观点,但也没有足够证据证明离合词与短语具有相同的加工机制,只是相对来说,离合词与短语的加工机制更为接近。

The aim of this paper is to investigate the neural mechanisms of Chinese disyllabic forms（including bimorphemic words,split words and phrases）through semantic comprehension tasks in ERPs experiment.The ERPs results show that split words and words have different ways of storing and semantic information processing.The split words are constituted by syntactic rather than morphological rules.These findings do not support the word claim or ＇combined as word,split as phrase＇ but neither do these offer sufficient evidence for shared processing mechanism between split words and words.
