进行了两个实验来检查心理词典的结构。使用 Brown 语料库(Francis 和 Kucera,1982)对美式英语进行词汇搜索,揭示了一种倾斜的、频率相关的分布,其中名词和动词的句法类别根据其元音的语音分类来区分。在高频词中,名词更可能有后元音(57%)而不是前元音(43%),动词更可能有前元音(62%)而不是后元音(38%)。然而,这种分布不适用于该语言中的低频名词和动词。在听觉名词/动词分类任务和听觉词汇决策任务中检查了包含前元音和后元音的名词和动词刺激。一般来说,词典中名词和动词的音位组合被证明具有感知后果。根据词典的分布特性,听众似乎对传入的声音模式有不同的敏感度。
Two experiments were conducted to examine the structure of the mental lexicon. A lexical search of American English, using the Brown corpus (Francis and Kucera, 1982), revealed a skewed, frequency-dependent distribution in which the syntactic classes of noun and verb are distinguished in terms of the phonological classification of their vowels. Among high-frequency words, nouns are more likely to have back vowels (57%) rather than front vowels (43%) and verbs more likely to have front vowels (62%) than back vowels (38%). This distribution, however, does not hold for low-frequency nouns and verbs in the language. Noun and verb stimuli containing front and back vowels were examined in both an auditory noun/verb categorization task and an auditory lexical decision task. In general, the phonotactic composition of nouns and verbs in the lexicon was shown to have perceptual consequences. Listeners seem to be differentially sensitive to incoming sound patterns on the basis of distributional properties of the lexicon.
