语言生产研究中的一个重要问题是说话者用来创建句法结构的语义信息的性质。这个问题的一个常见答案假设主题角色有助于调解从消息到语法的映射。然而，使用结构启动的研究表明，句法框架的构建可能对消息中主题角色的变化不敏感（认知35（1990）1；心理评论99（1992）150）。因为这些研究涉及与主题角色阶段的语法协变量的结构交替，因此很难评估角色信息可能对短语定位做出的任何独立贡献。在这项研究中，我们在不改变所产生的句子的句法结构的情况下启动了角色的顺序，发现角色的顺序受到启动操作的影响。这意味着主题角色或区分它们的功能在消息和句子结构之间的映射中活跃。 （c）2003 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
An important question in the study of language production is the nature of the semantic information that speakers use to create syntactic structures. A common answer to this question assumes that thematic roles help to mediate the mapping from messages to syntax. However, research using structural priming has suggested that the construction of syntactic frames may be insensitive to variations in thematic roles within messages (Cognition 35 (1990) 1; Psychological Review 99 (1992) 150). Because these studies involved structural alternations whose syntax covaries with the order of thematic roles, it is difficult to assess any independent contribution that role information may make to the positioning of phrases. In this study, we primed the order of the roles without changing the syntactic structure of the sentences produced, and found that the order of the roles was influenced by the priming manipulation. This implies that thematic roles or the features that differentiate them are active within the mapping between messages and sentence structures. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
