三项眼动研究探讨了标点符号在阅读中的作用。在实验1中，虽然逗号在一个小句的末尾促进了句子的整体阅读时间，第一次通过时间在逗号标记的小句比没有逗号的小句（或相同的材料在小句中间位置）。数据支持停留时间假说，该假说声称读者在标点符号处停顿。为了探讨停顿时间/总结效果的可能性，真的是由于停顿在语调短语的结尾，实验2测试非冗余标点符号的结构，逗号对应于一个强制性的语调短语边界的讲话。语调假设在呼格和插入语中得到支持，但在非限制性关系从句中没有得到支持。实验三进一步考察了关系从句。总的来说，数据是一致的语调解释的总结效果，但只有当它被假定为非限制性的亲属和其他asides得到较少的关注比一个句子的其他部分。(c)2005年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Three eye movement studies examined the role of punctuation in reading. In Experiment 1, although a comma at the end of a clause facilitated overall reading times for the sentence, first pass times were longer at the end of commamarked clauses than clauses without a comma (or the same material in clause medial position). The data supported the dwell time hypothesis which claims that readers pause at punctuation marks. To explore the possibility that dwell time/wrap-up effects are really due to pausing at the ends of intonational phrases, Experiment 2 tested non-redundant punctuation in structures where a comma corresponds to an obligatory intonational phrase boundary in speech. The intonation hypothesis was supported for vocatives and parentheticals but not for non-restrictive relative clauses. Relative clauses were further investigated in Experiment 3. Overall, the data were consistent with the intonation explanation for wrap-up effects but only if it is assumed that non-restrictive relatives and other asides receive less attention than do other parts of a sentence.
