像英语这样的自然语言把发音和意义联系起来。语言发音可以用与我们的运动系统相关的方式来描述(例如,与我们的嘴唇和舌头的运动有关)。但是语言意义和我们的非语言认知系统有什么关系呢?作为一个案例研究,我们通过将most与密切相关的more进行比较来捍卫关于most意义的明确建议:more表示两个独立子集之间的比较,而most表示子集-超集的比较。六项针对成人和儿童的实验表明,他们的含义之间的微妙差异影响了参与者如何组织和询问他们的视觉世界。在其他方面相同的情况下,改变“最多日”的单词会影响人们对图片-句子匹配(实验1-2)、场景创造(实验3-4)、视觉特征记忆(实验5)和快速判断真相的准确性(实验6)的偏好。这些效应支持了这样一种观点,即更多的心理表征的意义为概念系统提供了详细的指导。
Natural languages like English connect pronunciations with meanings. Linguistic pronunciations can be described in ways that relate them to our motor system (e.g., to the movement of our lips and tongue). But how do linguistic meanings relate to our nonlinguistic cognitive systems? As a case study, we defend an explicit proposal about the meaning ofmostby comparing it to the closely relatedmore: whereasmoreexpresses a comparison between two independent subsets,mostexpresses a subset–superset comparison. Six experiments with adults and children demonstrate that these subtle differences between their meanings influence how participants organize and interrogate their visual world. In otherwise identical situations, changing the word frommosttomoreaffects preferences for picture–sentence matching (experiments 1–2), scene creation (experiments 3–4), memory for visual features (experiment 5), and accuracy on speeded truth judgments (experiment 6). These effects support the idea that the meanings ofmoreandmostare mental representations that provide detailed instructions to conceptual systems.
