摘要话语标记语的研究通常是从语料库分析的Vantage进行的。通过观察它们在自发谈话中的位置,可以对它们可能的功能做出假设。然而,对听众使用这些表达的直接测试很少。在五个实验中,我们观察了一个话语标记语“哦”的在线自发言语理解效果。我们发现,在“哦”之后,单词的识别速度要快于“哦”被切除并被停顿取代或完全切除的情况。我们还发现,语义验证的话听到了更早的话语后,哦比当哦被切除,并由停顿或完全切除,但只有当测试点下游的哦。研究结果表明,oh不仅像语料库分析所指出的那样是一种潜在的信号,而且实际上被听话人用来帮助他们在自发的谈话中整合信息。
Abstract Discourse markers are usually studied from the vantage point of corpora analyses. By looking at where they fall in spontaneous talk, hypotheses can be made about their possible functions. However, direct tests of listeners' uses of these expressions are rare. In five experiments, we looked at the on-line spontaneous speech comprehension effects of one discourse marker, oh. We found that recognition of words was faster after oh than when the oh was either excised and replaced by a pause or excised entirely. We also found that semantic verification of words heard earlier in the discourse was faster after oh than when the oh was either excised and replaced by a pause or excised entirely, but only when the test point was downstream from the oh. Results demonstrate that oh is not only a potential signal to addressees, as has been suggested by corpora analyses, but that it is in fact used by addressees to help them integrate information in spontaneous talk.
