两个自定进度的阅读研究的句法歧义，涉及连接名词短语的三个潜在的名词短语网站的结果进行了比较，语料库频率的决议相同的歧义。对第一个名词短语的附加的阅读时间比对第二个名词短语的附加快，但是，就语料库频率观察到的任何差异而言，对第二个名词短语的附加更频繁。因此，我们认为，句子理解机制在这种歧义中并没有使用语料库频率来达到其偏好，因此，句子理解和句子产生的决策原则必须是部分不同的。本文认为，句子理解中存在一个因素，而句子产生中不存在这个因素，这个因素有利于对第一个名词短语的依附。(C)北京：科学出版社.
The results of two self-paced reading studies of a syntactic ambiguity involving conjoined noun phrases to three potential noun phrase sites were compared to the corpus frequencies of the resolutions of the same ambiguity. The reading times for the attachment to the first noun phrase were faster than for the attachment to the second noun phrase, but, to the extent that any differences were observed in the corpus frequencies, attachments to the second noun phrase were more frequent We therefore argue that the sentence comprehension mechanism is not using corpus frequencies in arriving at its preference in this ambiguity, and hence the decision principles of sentence comprehension and sentence production must be partially distinct. It is proposed that there is a factor operative in sentence comprehension that is not operative in sentence production, and this factor favors attachment to the first noun phrase.
