音乐对语言加工的影响——来自ERP的证据

向音乐人和非音乐人分别同时呈现句末词有无词类范畴违反的句子,和结尾和弦有无和弦句法违反的和弦序列,并采用ERP(event-related potential,事件相关电位)技术观察被试音乐加工对句子加工的影响。结论是,汉语句子和和弦序列的句法整合加工之间似乎共享神经资源。这两种句法整合加工机制性质相同,能相互促进。音乐训练对语言和音乐句法整合加工的神经资源共享性有调节作用。

汉语双字词常模特征跨词性对比研究

汉语中不同词性词有不同的常模特征规律。名词的具体性、意象性、语义透明度最高,但笔画数最少;动词的词频最高、习得年龄最晚,但感官经验度最低;形容词的熟悉性、主观词频和情感经验度最高,但具体性最低。同时,具体性、意象性和感官经验度之间的相互关联只存在于名词和形容词中。13个常模特征可以归为频率、语义、视觉复杂性和词义数四个公共因子,但各因子所主要代表的变量情况在不同词性词之间有相似之处,亦有不同之处。另外,动词和形容词之间的相似性高于它们分别与名词之间的相似性程度,习得年龄、情感经验度、意象性和主观词义数最能把名词与另外两种词性区分开来。
