一种基于英语词典中成分概率的概率音位语法被用来生成多音节非单词。说英语的听众对这些句型的词汇相似性进行了评估。包含高概率成分的非单词的类词性评分较高，音节较少的非单词的类词性评分也较高。在识别记忆任务中，也发现了在处理这些相同的非单词的过程中的差异，这些非单词部分地反映了它们所感知的相似单词。具有更高概率成分的非单词产生了更好的识别记忆性能，这表明参与者能够利用他们对频繁出现的词汇模式的知识来提高识别能力。这些结果表明，词汇模式为在语言任务和元语言任务中处理非单词的突发语音能力提供了基础。(C)2000年学术出版社。
A probabilistic phonotactic grammar based on the probabilities of the constituents contained in a dictionary of English was used to generate multisyllabic nonwords. English-speaking listeners evaluated the wordlikeness of these patterns. Wordlikeness ratings were higher for nonwords containing high-probability constituents and were also higher for nonwords with fewer syllables. Differences in the processing of these same nonwords that partially reflected their perceived wordlikeness were also found in a recognition memory task. Nonwords with higher probability constituents yielded better recognition memory performance, suggesting that participants were able to use their knowledge of frequently occurring lexical patterns to improve recognition. These results suggest that lexical patterns provide the foundation of an emergent phonological competence used to process nonwords in both linguistic and metalinguistic tasks. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
