汉语口语音段和超音段信息对词汇语义激活的作用

本研究通过两个实验来探讨汉语口语的音段信息和超音段信息对词汇语义激活的作用。实验结果表明,韵母的改变在语义激活过程中没有起到显著的抑制作用;声调改变词作为不一致启动词时,被试需要更多的时间来完成语义激活,说明了声调的改变对词汇语义激活具有制约作用。

Two experiments were conducted for Mandarin speech, which addressed the role of segmental and suprasegmental information in semantic activation. The results indicated that the change of segmental information does not have significant inhibititory effect on the process of semantic activation, whereas the reaction time of tone mismatch words is slower than that of the baseline words. These results suggest that the change of segmental information restrains the semantic activation of words.
