汉语的屈折变化与欧洲语言的不同之处在于，它在正字法中是完全可解析的，这就提出了汉语屈折变化形式可能不显示其他语言中发现的表面频率效应的可能性。本研究通过五个词汇判断实验来探讨这一问题。他们表明，表面频率确实会影响反应时间，与基频和屈折形式的可接受性无关，但前提是材料的设计鼓励读者处理碱基-词缀组合。这表明，表面频率效应出现在一个较晚的阶段，当组件组合成复杂的单词，而不是在最初接触词汇。(c)2005年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Chinese inflection differs from that of European languages in that it is fully parsable in the orthography, which raises the possibility that Chinese inflected forms may not show the surface frequency effects found in other languages. Five lexical decision experiments were conducted to examine this issue. They showed that surface frequency did indeed affect reaction times, independent of base frequency and acceptability of the inflected forms, but only if the design of the materials encouraged readers to process base-affix combinations. This suggests that surface frequency effects emerge at a late stage when components are combined into complex words, not during initial contact with the lexicon. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
