在许多以主语先于宾语为基本语序的语言中，主语先于宾语的及物性句子比主语先于宾语的句子在句子理解中具有加工优势。这一优势有三个来源，即句法复杂性（填补空缺依赖）、概念可及性（主位角色的顺序）和语用要求。为了考察这些因素对简单及物句加工的影响，本研究采用台湾南岛语族语言赛德克语进行了两个事件相关电位实验，通过控制语序（基本VOS与非基本SVO）、主题角色顺序（演员与目标声音）和话语因素（视觉语境的存在/不存在）来考察这些因素对简单及物句加工的影响。结果表明，与VOS相比，在没有支持性语境的情况下，SVO的加工负荷更大（P600）;而在有支持性语境且话语要求得到满足的情况下，SVO的加工负荷并不显著。我们解释这些结果的证据表明，在赛德克语的非基本词序的处理难度与语篇水平的处理难度。
In many languages with subject-before-object as a syntactically basic word order, transitive sentences in which the subject precedes the object have been reported to have a processing advantage over those in which the subject follows the object in sentence comprehension. Three sources can be considered to account for this advantage, namely, syntactic complexity (filler-gap dependency), conceptual accessibility (the order of thematic roles), and pragmatic requirement. To examine the effect of these factors on the processing of simple transitive sentences, the present study conducted two event-related potential experiments in Seediq, an Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan, by manipulating word orders (basic VOS vs. non-basic SVO), the order of thematic roles (actor vs. goal voice), and discourse factors (presence/absence of visual context). The results showed that, compared to VOS, SVO incurred a greater processing load (reflected by a P600) when there was no supportive context, irrespective of voice alternation; however, SVO did not incur a greater processing load when there was supportive context and the discourse requirement was satisfied. We interpreted these results as evidence that the processing difficulty of the non-basic word order in Seediq is associated with a discourse-level processing difficulty.
