两个阅读实验考察了句子中音位重复的存在对句法歧义消解过程中加工难度的影响程度。在这两个实验中,参与者在测量阅读时间的同时默读句子。阅读时间的句子包含一个临时的句法歧义进行了比较,阅读时间明确的控制句子。句子要么有,要么没有包含重复的音素。结果表明,含有句法歧义的句子的阅读时间比无歧义的控制句子长。阅读时间也更长的句子含有重复的音素比句子,不包含重复的音素。音素重复并没有增加句法歧义解决所需的时间;相反,句法歧义和音素重复的效果是时间上不同的,音素重复的效果是句法歧义的效果。工作记忆理论的影响进行了讨论。
Two reading experiments investigated the extent to which the presence of phonemic repetition in sentences influenced processing difficulty during syntactic ambiguity resolution. In both experiments, participants read sentences silently as reading time was measured. Reading time on sentences containing a temporary syntactic ambiguity was compared to reading time on unambiguous control sentences. Sentences either did or did not contain repeated phonemes. The results showed that reading time was longer for sentences containing a syntactic ambiguity than for unambiguous control sentences. Reading time was also longer on sentences containing repeated phonemes than on sentences that did not contain repeated phonemes. Phonemic repetition did not increase the time taken for syntactic ambiguity resolution; rather, the effects of syntactic ambiguity and phonemic repetition were temporally distinct, with the effect of phonemic repetition following the effect of syntactic ambiguity. Implications for theories of working memory are discussed.
