本研究考察了理解者在句法分析中如何使用动词信息。两个阅读实验考察了动词特异变量与阅读时间的关系。这些实验是对先前工作的严密复制；然而，使用了两种统计技术，而不是一种。这些是逐项的相关性和参与者对参与者的回归。实验1采用自定步移动窗口测量阅读时间。实验二记录阅读过程中的眼球运动。两个实验的结果表明，两种统计分析的结果支持相互矛盾的结论。涉及参与者对参与者回归分析的分析没有提供动词信息在解析中早期使用的证据，并支持语法优先的解析方法。相比之下，逐项相关的结果与先前的研究结果一致，支持动词信息可以指导初始解析决策的观点。讨论了解析理论的含义。
The research investigated how comprehenders use verb information during syntactic parsing. Two reading experiments investigated the relationship between verb-specific variables and reading time. These experiments were close replications of prior work; however, two statistical techniques were used, rather than one. These were item-by-item correlations and participant-by-participant regression. In Experiment 1, reading time was measured using a self-paced moving window. In Experiment 2, eye movements were recorded during reading. The results of both experiments showed that the results of two types of statistical analyses support contradictory conclusions. The analyses involving participant-by-participant regression analyses provided no evidence for the early use of verb information in parsing and support syntax-first approaches to parsing. In contrast, the results of item-by-item correlation were consistent with the prior research, supporting the view that verb information can guide initial parsing decisions. Implications for theories of parsing are discussed.
