韵律约束在口语理解和默读中都起着至关重要的作用。在汉语中，动宾（V-O）组合的节奏模式迅速影响句子阅读过程中的语义获取/整合过程（Luo and Zhou, 2010）。节奏模式是指不同音节长度的单词的组合，某些组合是不允许的（如[2 + 1]，数字分别代表动词和名词的音节数），某些组合是首选的（如[1 + 1]或[2 + 2]）。此约束扩展到使用组合来修改其他单词的情况。V-O短语可以修饰名词，只需放在名词前面，形成V-O- n复合词；然而，当动词是双音节时，词序必须是O-V-N，宾语最好是双音节的。在这项研究中，我们通过记录阅读者的眼球运动来研究阅读者如何处理节奏模式和语序信息。我们在复合中通过节奏模式和词序的交叉创造了四种类型的句子。这个包含双音节动词的复合词可能是正确的O-V-N，也可能是错误的V-O-N顺序；宾语可以是双音节的也可以是单音节的。我们发现，当在第一次通过读取时检测到任何一种类型的异常时，阅读器花费更多的时间并在化合物上和之后进行更多的回归。然而，在重读过程中（在看完句子中的所有单词之后），相对于正确的节奏模式，发现异常节奏模式的眼球运动倒退较少；此外，只有异常的节奏模式，而不是违反的语序，影响眼球运动的回归。这些结果表明，虽然节奏模式和词序信息的加工在句子的初始阅读过程中发生得很快，但节奏模式异常的恢复过程可能会缓解句子整合后期的再分析加工。因此，在默读过程中，汉语的节奏模式会动态地影响局部短语分析和整体句子整合。
Prosodic constraints play a fundamental role during both spoken sentence comprehension and silent reading. In Chinese, the rhythmic pattern of the verb-object (V-O) combination has been found to rapidly affect the semantic access/integration process during sentence reading (Luo and Zhou, 2010). Rhythmic pattern refers to the combination of words with different syllabic lengths, with certain combinations disallowed (e.g., [2 + 1]; numbers standing for the number of syllables of the verb and the noun respectively) and certain combinations preferred (e.g., [1 + 1] or [2 + 2]). This constraint extends to the situation in which the combination is used to modify other words. A V-O phrase could modify a noun by simply preceding it, forming a V-O-N compound; when the verb is disyllabic, however, the word order has to be O-V-N and the object is preferred to be disyllabic. In this study, we investigated how the reader processes the rhythmic pattern and word order information by recording the reader's eye-movements. We created four types of sentences by crossing rhythmic pattern and word order in compounding. The compound, embedding a disyllabic verb, could be in the correct O-V-N or the incorrect V-O-N order; the object could be disyllabic or monosyllabic. We found that the reader spent more time and made more regressions on and after the compounds when either type of anomaly was detected during the first pass reading. However, during re-reading (after all the words in the sentence have been viewed), less regressive eye movements were found for the anomalous rhythmic pattern, relative to the correct pattern; moreover, only the abnormal rhythmic pattern, not the violated word order, influenced the regressive eye movements. These results suggest that while the processing of rhythmic pattern and word order information occurs rapidly during the initial reading of the sentence, the process of recovering from the rhythmic pattern anomaly may ease the reanalysis processing at the later stage of sentence integration. Thus, rhythmic pattern in Chinese can dynamically affect both local phrase analysis and global sentence integration during silent reading.
