24 个 S 评价了删除了主语名词或主要动词的英语句子的可理解性和可接受性。二十四个不同的党员猜测了这些句子中缺少的单词,并评价了他们对猜测的信心。三个不同的评级得出每个句子的可理解性、可接受性和可纠正性分数。与删除名词的句子相比,删除动词的句子的可接受性得分较低,单词位置错误也较少,但被认为与缺少名词的句子一样易于理解。试图解释后一个发现是基于观察到的句子可理解性和可纠正性之间的显着相关性。
Twenty-four Ss rated the comprehensibility and acceptability of English sentences with either the subject noun or the main verb deleted. Twenty-four different Ss guessed the word missing from those sentences and rated their confidence in their guesses. The three different ratings resulted in comprehensibility, acceptability, and corrigibility scores for each sentence. Sentences with the verb deleted had lower acceptability scores and fewer word location errors than did sentences with the noun deleted, but were judged as comprehensible as sentences with the noun missing. Attempts to explain this latter finding were based on the observed significant correlation between sentence comprehensibility and corrigibility.
