本文比较了两种语法编码模型在语言生产中的预测结果。一种模型的基础是，可选择的语法结构相互竞争，以确定最终使用哪种结构。第二种模式是渐进式的：话语是逐渐建立起来的，结构是在构建过程中产生的。如果语法编码是竞争性的，那么句法选择就会带来困难；如果是渐进式的，那么语法选择应该会简化语音的创建。这些预测在三个实验中得到了验证，在这些实验中，说话者创造的话语有时需要句法判断。当构建一个句子允许句法选择时，说话者通常会以更少的错误和更快的速度构建这个句子。这一发现支持了语言产生是渐进的这一观点。(C) 1996学术出版社，Inc.
This article compares the predictions of two models of grammatical encoding in language production. The basis of one model is that alternative syntactic structures compete to determine which structure is eventually used. The second model is incremental: Utterances are gradually built up, and the structure emerges from the construction process itself. If grammatical encoding is competitive, syntactic choices should pose difficulties; if incremental, syntactic choices should ease the creation of speech. These predictions were tested in three experiments where speakers created utterances which sometimes required a syntactic decision. When constructing a sentence allowed a syntactic choice, speakers generally constructed that utterance with fewer errors and more quickly. This finding supports the notion that language production operates incrementally. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
