我们报道了三个实验,调查对话参与者的语言行为是否受到他们在互动中所扮演的角色的影响。所有实验都涉及说话者在意义非常相似的句法形式之间进行选择的方式。对话理论认为,演讲者将他们的贡献直接传递给他们的听众,也间接传递给旁听者。在实验1和实验2中,说话者产生的图片描述的句法结构与之前说话者对第三人称的描述的句法结构相同。这表明句法对齐并不局限于说话人-受话人二元组。然而,当前发言者的先前参与者角色影响对齐:先前的发言者比先前的边参与者更一致。相反,实验2和实验3表明,对齐不受当前收信人先前参与者角色的影响。我们根据编码过程中的加工深度来解释这些发现。(C)2006爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
We report three experiments that investigated whether the linguistic behavior of participants in a dialogue is affected by their role within that interaction. All experiments were concerned with the way in which speakers choose between syntactic forms with very similar meanings. Theories of dialogue assume that speakers address their contributions directly to their addressees, but also indirectly to side participants. In Experiments 1 and 2, speakers produced picture descriptions that had the same syntactic structure as a previous speaker's descriptions which had been addressed to a third person. This indicated that syntactic alignment is not limited to speaker-addressee dyads. However, the prior participant role of the current speaker affected alignment: prior addressees aligned more than prior side-participants. In contrast, Experiments 2 and 3 demonstrated that alignment was unaffected by the prior participant role of the current addressee. We interpret these findings in terms of depth of processing during encoding. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
