我们问的形式A和B（如面包和黄油）的二项式表达式的词序偏好是否是由抽象的语言知识的排序约束参考的语义，语音和词汇属性的组成词，或由先前的直接经验与特定项目的问题。使用强迫选择和自定进度的阅读任务，我们表明，从未见过的二项式的在线处理的影响，由抽象知识的排序约束，我们估计与概率模型。相比之下，高频率二项式的在线处理主要由直接经验驱动，我们根据语料库频率计数来估计。我们提出了一个权衡，其中处理新的表达式依赖于抽象的知识，而依赖于直接的经验，增加接触的表达。我们的研究结果支持语言处理的理论，其中成分生成和直接，整体重用的多词表达起着至关重要的作用。(C)2016作者由Elsevier B.V.发布，这是CC BY许可下的开放获取文章。
We ask whether word order preferences for binomial expressions of the form A and B (e.g. bread and butter) are driven by abstract linguistic knowledge of ordering constraints referencing the semantic, phonological, and lexical properties of the constituent words, or by prior direct experience with the specific items in questions. Using forced-choice and self-paced reading tasks, we demonstrate that online processing of never-before-seen binomials is influenced by abstract knowledge of ordering constraints, which we estimate with a probabilistic model. In contrast, online processing of highly frequent binomials is primarily driven by direct experience, which we estimate from corpus frequency counts. We propose a trade-off wherein processing of novel expressions relies upon abstract knowledge, while reliance upon direct experience increases with increased exposure to an expression. Our findings support theories of language processing in which both compositional generation and direct, holistic reuse of multi-word expressions play crucial roles. (C) 2016 The Authors.
