本研究采用眼动测量的方法考察了在无声阅读的语境中词汇重音的产生。我们询问词汇重音是否记录在眼动记录中，如果是，为什么。本研究还验证了内隐韵律假说，即读者在无声阅读时构建韵律轮廓的观点。受试者阅读高频和低频目标词，其中一个或两个重读音节嵌入句子中。词汇重音会影响眼球运动，因此，有两个重读音节的单词比有一个重读音节的单词需要更长的时间来阅读，并获得更多的注视。研究结果为内隐韵律假说提供了实证支持，并表明压力分配可能是词汇通达的完成阶段，至少在眼动控制方面是如此。(c)2005 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
The present study examined lexical stress in the context of silent reading by measuring eye movements. We asked whether lexical stress registers in the eye movement record and, if so, why. The study also tested the implicit prosody hypothesis, or the idea that readers construct a prosodic contour during silent reading. Participants read high and low frequency target words with one or two stressed syllables embedded in sentences. Lexical stress affected eye movements, such that words with two stressed syllables took longer to read and received more fixations than words with one stressed syllable. Findings offer empirical support for the implicit prosody hypothesis and suggest that stress assignment may be the completing phase of lexical access, at least in terms of eye movement control.
