翻译通常不直接跨语言对齐,间接映射降低了语言学习的准确性。为了便于研究这个问题,我们开发了一种新的连续测量方法,用于量化具有多个翻译的词(以下简称翻译歧义词)的语义相关性。参与者对每个翻译与其他翻译的相似性进行评分,得出翻译语义变异性(TSV)分数,范围从1.00(不相关)到7.00(相关)。然后,我们确定翻译之间的相关性如何影响翻译歧义词从德语到英语的学习。在翻译过程中,低TSV分数的德语单词被认为比高TSV分数的德语单词翻译得更慢、更不准确。TSV解释了一种独特的差异,超越了以前使用的形式与意义歧义的二分法。我们认为翻译选择的相关性会影响学习,因为它会影响在形式和意义之间建立一对一映射的便利性。
Translations often do not align directly across languages, and indirect mappings reduce the accuracy of language learning. To facilitate examination of this issue, we developed a new continuous measure for quantifying the semantic relatedness of words with more than one translation (hereafter translation-ambiguous words). Participants rated the similarity of each translation to every other translation, yielding a Translation Semantic Variability (TSV) score, ranging from 1.00 (unrelated) to 7.00 (related). Then, we determined how relatedness between translations affects translation-ambiguous word learning from German to English. German words with low TSV scores were recognized as translations more slowly and less accurately than German words with high TSV scores. TSV explains unique variance beyond the previously-used dichotomous classification of words as form vs. meaning ambiguous. We propose that the relatedness of the translation alternatives influences learning because it affects the ease with which a one-to-one mapping can be established between form and meaning.
