三个实验检验了第一词位形态家族大小对英语复合词识别的影响。第一个词位来自大形态家族的串联复合词在单词命名和词汇决策方面比来自小形态家族的复合词反应更快。此外,眼动实验表明,在阅读句子时,来自大形态家族的化合物的凝视持续时间较短。这主要是由于对小形态家族的化合物进行了更多的重新固定。事后分析和对过去研究的重新分析表明,具有大量高频家族成员 (HFFM) 的化合物比具有较少 HFFM 的化合物读取速度更慢。因此,虽然形态家族大小通常是有促进作用的,但 HFFM 的存在对眼动行为具有抑制作用。讨论了这些影响的时间进程。
Three experiments examined the influence of first lexeme morphological family size on English compound word recognition. Concatenated compound words whose first lexemes were from large morphological families were responded to faster in word naming and lexical decision than compounds from small morphological families. In addition, an eye movement experiment showed that gaze durations were shorter on compounds from large morphological families during sentence reading. This was mainly due to more refixations on compounds from small morphological families. Posthoc analyses and re-analysis of past studies suggested that compounds with a larger number of higher frequency family members (HFFM) are read more slowly than compounds with fewer HFFM. Thus, while morphological family size is generally facilitative, the presence of HFFM has an inhibitory effect on eye movement behaviour. The time-course of these effects is discussed.
