两个自定节奏阅读实验研究了包含“早”和“晚”歧义的句子中的启动。早期的闭包句在句法消歧义方面施加了相对较大的处理成本。目前的研究探讨了一种降低加工成本的可能方法。目标句是暂时模棱两可的，并通过首选的“晚”结束分析或不喜欢的“早”结束分析来消除歧义。每个目标句子之前都有一个启动词，这个启动词要么结构相同，要么需要进行不同的句法分析。在实验1中，所有启动句与目标句共享同一个关键动词。在实验2中，通过重组实验1的刺激来消除动词重复。在实验1中，当“早”结束目标句与“早”结束启动句紧接时，消歧义动词的加工更容易。在实验2中，虽然加工时间的总体差异有利于“迟闭”目标，但没有显著的启动效应。综合分析证实，实验1的结果模式与实验2有显著差异。这些实验首次表明，“早期”结尾分析可以被启动，并且当关键动词同时出现在启动句和目标句中时，这种启动更为强大。这些结果进一步表明，在理解过程中，句法启动效应在词汇上有“提升”。它们对句法表征和句法加工理论具有启示意义。
Two self-paced reading experiments investigated priming in sentences containing ‘early’ vs. ‘late closure’ ambiguities. Early closure sentences impose relatively large processing costs at the point of syntactic disambiguation. The current study investigated a possible way to reduce processing costs. Target sentences were temporarily ambiguous and were disambiguated towards either the preferred ‘late’ closure analysis or the dispreferred ‘early’ closure analysis. Each target sentence was preceded by a prime that was either structurally identical or that required a different syntactic analysis. In Experiment 1, all the prime sentences shared the same critical verb as the target. In Experiment 2, verb repetition was eliminated by reorganising the stimuli from Experiment 1. In Experiment 1, processing of the disambiguating verb was facilitated when an ‘early’ closure target sentence followed an ‘early’ closure prime. In Experiment 2, there were no significant priming effects, although an overall difference in processing time favoured ‘late closure’ targets. Combined analyses verified that the pattern of results in Experiment 1 differed significantly from Experiment 2. These experiments provide the first indication that ‘early’ closure analyses can be primed and that such priming is more robust when a critical verb appears in both the prime and the target sentence. The results add to the body of data indicating a ‘lexical boost’ for syntactic priming effects during comprehension. They have implications for theories of syntactic representation and processing.
