句子语境中韵律作用的眼动特征

THE INFLUENCE OF THE PROSODY IN CONTEXT: EVIDENCE OF EYEMOVEMENTS

采用眼动记录的方法,考察了不同句子语境中,不同类型的动宾组合的加工过程。结果发现,韵律限制对句子阅读的认知加工过程起重要作用。符合韵律限制的[2+2]和[1+2]型动宾组合比不符合韵律限制的[2+1]型动宾组合加工更容易,更少地寻找支持信息。语境能引导读者更快地通达符合韵律限制的词汇的意义。在中性语境中,符合韵律限制的[2+2]和[1+2]型动宾组合比不符合韵律限制的[2+1]型动宾组合加工更容易,更少地需要语境的支持。在偏向语境中,同时符合韵律限制和语境信息的[2+2]型动宾组合加工更容易,更少地需要语境的支持。

The present study was designed to investigate whether a particular prosodic constraint in Chinese,the rhythmic pattern of the verb-noun combination,affects sentence reading and whether context has influence on this process.A self-paced,line-by-line,reading paradigm was used,in which participants read sentences by pressing a key each time they wanted a new one to appear.The result showed： the rhythmic pattern of the verb-noun combination affects the process of sentence reading.It was easier to process theor thepattern than thepattern,and looked for less information to support itself.The context could lead reader to make sense of the verb-noun combination.In the neutral context,and thepatterns had the same easier process than thepattern,and looked for less information to support themselves.But in the biased context,thepattern had the most easiest process and looked for the lest information to support itself of the three patterns.
