人们如何在生产过程中构建语言形式的理论主要基于英语和密切相关的语言。我们报告了三个使用结构启动范式来研究普通话中文的语法编码的实验，特别是概念信息被映射到语法结构上。结果表明，除了持续使用相同的句法形式外，普通话的说话者在其概念元素到句法元素（包括语法函数和线性表面单词顺序位置）中持续存在。因此，结果与两个阶段模型有关，其中首先将概念表示形式映射到语法函数上，然后将其映射到表面线性位置上。取而代之的是，结果支持一个单阶段模型，其中处理器在单个阶段中计算一个结构，该结构指定了其成分的线性顺序和语法函数。 （c）2012 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Theories of how people construct linguistic form during production are largely based on English and closely related languages. We report three experiments that used a structural priming paradigm to investigate grammatical encoding in Mandarin Chinese, in particular the way conceptual information is mapped onto grammatical structure. The results show that, in addition to persisting in using the same syntactic form across utterances, speakers of Mandarin persisted in their mappings from conceptual elements to syntactic elements, including both grammatical functions and linear surface word order positions. The results thus argue against a two-stage model where conceptual representations are first mapped onto grammatical functions, which are then in turn mapped onto surface linear positions. Instead, the results support a one-stage model where the processor computes in a single stage a structure that specifies both the linear order and the grammatical functions of its constituents.
