工作记忆广度与句法歧义消解的关系——以汉语均衡-偏正型构式为例

Correlation Between Working Memory Capacity and Resolution of Syntactic Ambiguity as Evidenced from the V-N1-DE-N2 Pattern in Mandarin Chinese

以汉语构式[V-N1-的-N2]的均衡-偏正型歧义短语组句为实验材料的实证研究发现,以汉语为母语的被试,其工作记忆广度与句法歧义消解之间存在显著的负相关关系,工作记忆广度的差异是影响句法歧义消解的重要因素,工作记忆广度越高,歧义消解进行得越早越快。工作记忆广度差异影响了句子实时性的加工,却没有影响句子非实时性的加工。

The paper took the construction of [ V-N1-DE-N2] as experimental materials by the mixed factorial design to examine the correlation between working memory capacity and the resolution of syntactic ambiguity among the native speakers of Chinese Mandarin. The data in the experiment show that there is negative correlation among them. Working memory capacity has a significant effect on the resolution of syntactic ambiguity. The higher working memory span is, the faster and earlier the resolution processes. The on-line process of the ambiguity construction is likewise influenced by the working memory soan.
