日本语标文字,汉字,联觉颜色选择的决定因素进行了研究。该研究调查了汉字字符的通感颜色如何受到语音学,正字法和意义等语言特性的影响,汉字字符通常比日语中其他类型的字形(称为平假名和片假名的语音字符以及阿拉伯数字)在生活中获得。中心的兴趣是一个假设的概括过程,从联觉颜色的字形,学习之前收购的汉字,汉字字符学习后。结果表明,汉字颜色的选择取决于意义和语音信息。一些研究结果表明,颜色从平假名字符和阿拉伯数字分别通过语音和意义被概括为汉字字符。正字法信息的影响很小。本研究的发现和方法有助于阐明形色联觉的机制,特别是它与正常语言加工的关系。(C)2012 Elsevier Inc.

Determinants of synesthetic color choice for the Japanese logographic script, Kanji, were studied. The study investigated how synesthetic colors for Kanji characters, which are usually acquired later in life than other types of graphemes in Japanese language (phonetic characters called Hiragana and Katakana, and Arabic digits), are influenced by linguistic properties such as phonology, orthography, and meaning. Of central interest was a hypothesized generalization process from synesthetic colors for graphemes, learned prior to acquisition of Kanji, to Kanji characters learned later. Results revealed that color choices for Kanji characters depend on meaning and phonological information. Some results suggested that colors are generalized from Hiragana characters and Arabic digits to Kanji characters via phonology and meaning, respectively. Little influence of orthographic information was observed. The findings and approach of this study contributes to a clarification of the mechanism underlying grapheme-color synesthesia, especially in terms of its relationship to normal language processing.
