说话者只是有时在句子补语结构中包括that，如The coach knew（that）you missed practice。六个实验测试了两种语言产生的一般方法对可选词提及的预测。一种方法声称，语言产生过程选择句法结构，使创造句子的任务变得容易，因此，当单词被选择用于产生时，它们会被机会主义地说出。第二种方法主张选择一个最容易理解的句法结构，这样就可以使用像这样的可选词来避免暂时模糊的、难以理解的句子。在所有的实验中，说话者并不总是包括可选词来避免暂时的歧义，但当随后的材料被重复（在一个句子中）或被提示回忆线索时，他们确实省略了可选词（补语）。结果表明，发言者选择句法结构，以允许早期提到的可用材料，而不是规避破坏性的临时歧义。(C)北京大学出版社.
Speakers only sometimes include the that in sentence complement structures like The coach knew (that) you missed practice. Six experiments tested the predictions concerning optional word mention of two general approaches to language production. One approach claims that language production processes choose syntactic structures that ease the task of creating sentences, so that words an spoken opportunistically, as they are selected for production. The second approach claims that a syntactic structure is chosen that is easiest to comprehend, so that optional words like that are used to avoid temporarily ambiguous, difficult-to-comprehend sentences. in all experiments, speakers did not consistently include optional words to circumvent a temporary ambiguity, but they did omit optional words (the complementizer that) when subsequent material was either repeated (within a sentence) or prompted with a recall cue. The results suggest that speakers choose syntactic structures to permit early mention of available material and not to circumvent disruptive temporary ambiguities. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
