研究表明,名词短语(以下简称NP)附带的信息量有助于提高语言产出中的可及性,增加代词指代。然而,信息量对歧义代词理解的影响以及任何信息性效应的时间进程都是未被探讨的。在两个眼动实验中,我们考察了NP所指部分的附加信息是如何影响下列歧义代词的解决的。第一个实验的结果显示了信息性效应,比起竞争对手,更多的目光投向信息丰富的参照者。然而,当所指对象是动词的宾语时,附加信息的影响出现得较晚。第二个实验重复了第一个实验的结果,并且还表明,与在线结果一致,一个歧义代词被解释为在离线的显性代词解决任务中指的是信息更丰富的NP。这一结果支持了语言加工理论,即假设显性信息增加了相关概念的可及性,而不是假设可及性与给予相关联。
The amount of information attached to a noun phrase (henceforth, NP) has been shown to enhance accessibility and increase pronominal reference in language production. However, both the effect of information quantity on the comprehension of ambiguous pronouns and the time course of any informativity effect have been left unexplored. In two eyetracking experiments, we investigated how additional information on the part of NP referents influenced the resolution of following ambiguous pronouns. The results of the first experiment revealed an informativity effect, with more looks to the informationally richer referent than to the competitor. However, the effect of additional information emerged late in time when the referent was the object of the verb. The second experiment replicated the results of the first and also showed that, consistent with the online results, an ambiguous pronoun is interpreted as referring to the informationally richer NP in an offline, explicit pronoun resolution task. The results lend support to theories of language processing that assume that explicit information increases the accessibility of the associated concept, in contrast to approaches that assume that accessibility is associated with givenness.
