本文探讨了基于人物角色的信息对社会语言学特征--背陷元音的内隐语言感知的影响。陷阱支持既与宏观社会区域（加州）有关，也与居住在该区域的特定人物（山谷女孩）有关。眼动跟踪范式被用来检查这些协会在早期，自动感知阶段。一组听众被告知演讲者来自加州，而另一组被告知演讲者被描述为山谷女孩。研究结果表明，无论是加州的信息和山谷女孩的信息引起听众期望扬声器展示陷阱支持。虽然之前的研究强调了宏观社会学类别对语言感知的影响，但本研究表明，基于人物角色的社会意义也可以影响感知，支持将人物角色视为对互动至关重要的社会建构的理论。
This paper investigates the effect of persona-based information on implicit linguistic perceptions of a sociolinguistic feature – the backed trap vowel. trap-backing is associated both with macro-social region (California) and with a particular persona that inhabits this region (the Valley Girl). An eye-tracking paradigm is used to examine these associations in early, automatic stages of perception. One group of listeners was told the speaker was from California, while another group was told that the speaker had been described as a Valley Girl. Findings demonstrate that both the California information and the Valley Girl information caused listeners to expect the speaker to exhibit trap-backing. While previous studies have highlighted the influence of macro-sociological categories on linguistic perception, the present study suggests that persona-based social meanings can also serve to influence perception, supporting theories that foreground personae as social constructs crucial to interaction.
