本研究考察了主位角色、格助词和语法功能对日语句子加工和优先级信息的干扰效应。第一个实验中及物动词和第二个实验中非及物动词打乱的主动句对正确句子决策的反应时间显著延长。在两个实验中,混乱句的错误率都高于规范句,这表明混乱效应在主动句中很明显。第三个实验的被动句表明,基于格助词而非主位角色定义的标准语序比打乱语序的语序识别得更快、更准确。实验4中的潜在句和实验5中的使役句表明,与规范句相比,基于语法功能而非格位助词的混乱句需要更长的反应时间和更高的错误率。因此,本研究的置乱效应表明,主位角色和格位助词都不能为规范短语顺序提供完全满意的信息,只有语法功能才能在所有类型的句子中提供满意的信息。
The present study investigated scrambling effects on the processing of Japanese sentences and priority information used among thematic roles, case particles and grammatical functions. Reaction times for correct sentence decisions were significantly prolonged for scrambled active sentences with transitive verbs in the first experiment and with ditransitive verbs in the second experiment. Errors were made with scrambled sentences more than canonical sentences in both experiments, which suggested that scrambling effects were apparent in active sentences. Passive sentences in the third experiment indicated that canonical order defined based on case particles, not thematic roles, was more quickly and accurately identified than scrambled order. Potential sentences in the fourth experiment and causative sentences in the fifth experiment indicated that the processing of scrambled sentences based on grammatical functions, but not on case particles, required longer reaction times and resulted in higher error rates than canonical sentences. Consequently, scrambling effects in the present study indicated that neither thematic roles nor case particles can provide fully-satisfactory information for canonical phrase order, and that only grammatical functions offer satisfactory information in all types of sentences.
