本实验研究了修饰语关系频率和话语上下文对新颖名词-名词短语的解释的影响（通过解释的难易程度和提供的解释类型来衡量）。我们评估人们在遇到话语中的组合时是否获取有关通常使用修饰语的关系的知识，或者是否仅在话语上下文之外查看组合时才使用该知识。此外，我们还研究了支持性话语上下文是否可以弥补修饰语关系频率低的问题。数据揭示了当脱离上下文解释组合以及在上下文中解释组合时，修饰语关系频率的强烈影响。关系频率也影响了为新颖组合提供的解释类型。话语上下文（支持性与中性）影响验证基于关系的解释的难易程度，但对产生的解释类型没有影响。 (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
The present experiments investigate the influence of modifier relation frequency and discourse context on the interpretation of novel noun-noun phrases (as measured by both the ease of interpretation and the types of interpretations that are provided). We assess whether people access knowledge about the relations with which the modifier is typically used when they encounter a combination in a discourse or whether this knowledge is used only when combinations are viewed outside of a discourse context. In addition, we examine whether a supportive discourse context can compensate for low modifier relation frequency. The data reveal a strong influence of modifier relation frequency when the combinations are interpreted out of context and when they are interpreted in context. Relation frequency also influenced the type of interpretation that is provided for the novel combination. Discourse context (supportive versus neutral) affected the ease with which a relation-based interpretation could be verified but had no effect on the type of interpretation produced.
