摘要
通过回答问题证实中国英语学习者的句法加工存在GP效应,GP句阅读时间短于Non-GP句;利用文本变化检测范式发现,在GP句短文中,受试对符合重新分析深层结构的填充词"it"并不敏感,难以检测到"it"预指时所引起的文本变化,阅读时间缩短。Non-GP句短文则无显著性差别。实验结果为重新分析不充分赋值理论提供证据,进一步证实语言分析机制满足于"足够好"以达成适当理解话语的表征。
In our study,an experiment is first conducted with short texts including Adjunct Clause containing temporary direct object / subject ambiguities or disambiguates followed by comprehension question. It’s revealed that Chinese English learners show garden path（ GP） effects with local ambiguities and read syntactically ambiguous sentences faster than disambiguated strings. Then,a text-change paradigm was devised to study the depth of semantic processing during reading those Garden-path short texts by adding ＂it＂before or after NP which is consistent with the underlying partially unreanalyzed structure. The result indicates that language input is represented at a degree of specification that is sufficient only for a good enough representation of language processing.
