许多双音节英语单词词尾的拼写都暗示了它们的语法类别，而不仅仅是明显的屈折词尾，比如动词的-ing。例如，一些字母序列明显与名词相关联（例如，-oon）和其他动词（例如，- ）。这项研究扩展了Arciuli和Cupples（2006）最近的研究，并证实了熟练的成年读者对这些正字法线索很敏感。结果发现，成年人更有可能把假词作为名词时，他们有名词一样的结局比动词一样或控制的结局，更有可能把假词作为动词时，他们有动词一样的结局比名词一样。这种敏感性在三个任务（句子结构，句子判断和pseudoword判断），这需要越来越明确的方式，线索可以允许语法分类的意识。在某些任务中，对动词样结尾的敏感性与阅读能力有关，尽管与拼写能力或语法意识无关。我们的理解语言处理的影响进行了讨论。
The spelling of many disyllabic English word endings holds cues to their grammatical category, beyond obvious inflectional endings such as -ing for verbs. For example, some letter sequences are clearly associated with nouns (e.g., -oon) and others with verbs (e.g., -erge). This study extended recent research by Arciuli and Cupples (2006), and confirmed that skilled adult readers are sensitive to these orthographic cues. It was found that adults were more likely to treat pseudowords as nouns when they had noun-like endings than verb-like or control endings, and more likely to treat pseudowords as verbs when they had verb-like than noun-like endings. This sensitivity held across three tasks (sentence construction, sentence judgement, and pseudoword judgement), which required increasingly explicit awareness of the way that cues could allow grammatical categorisation. In some tasks sensitivity to verb-like endings was related to reading ability, although not to spelling ability or grammatical awareness. Implications for our understanding of language processing are discussed.
