在关于句子生成中的语法一致性的研究中，有强调整体结构属性作用的动词数表述和强调词驱动属性作用的表述。为了评估这些选择，我们进行了两个实验，检查了参考（整体）因素以及两个词汇-语义（局部）因素对一致性的影响。两个实验都测量了屈折动词产生的准确性和延迟，以评估语法数的变化如何与其他因素相互作用。动词生成的准确性受概念数的指称效应、关联度和类别隶属度的词汇语义效应的调节。作为协议难度的一个指标，延迟受这两个因素的影响很小。研究结果表明，一致性对指称力和词汇力都很敏感，并强调了词汇结构整合在句子生成过程中的重要性。
In work on grammatical agreement in sentence production, there are accounts of verb number formulation that emphasise the role of whole-structure properties and accounts that emphasise the role of word-driven properties. To evaluate these alternatives, we carried out two experiments that examined a referential (wholistic) contributor to agreement along with two lexical-semantic (local) factors. Both experiments gauged the accuracy and latency of inflected-verb production in order to assess how variations in grammatical number interacted with the other factors. The accuracy of verb production was modulated both by the referential effect of notional number and by the lexical-semantic effects of relatedness and category membership. As an index of agreement difficulty, latencies were little affected by either factor. The findings suggest that agreement is sensitive to referential as well as lexical forces and highlight the importance of lexical-structural integration in the process of sentence production.
