摘要 在两项关于歧义缩减关系从句的自定进度阅读研究中，探讨了词汇频率在句法歧义消解中的作用。最近基于约束的句法歧义消解模型提出，对于减少的关系从句（例如，“警察搜查的房间是……”），歧义动词（“搜索”）的分词和过去时形式并行可用，并且使用局部句法和语义信息来解决并行约束满足过程中的歧义（MacDonald、Pearlmutter 和 Seidenberg， 1994a；Trueswell、Tanenhaus 和 Garnsey，1994）。这些模型的一个重要预测是，动词在语言中用作分词形式的频率应该会影响读者考虑关系从句替代方案的能力。这一预测在两个自定进度的阅读实验中得到了证实，这些实验直接操纵分词频率，同时控制上下文约束的程度。讨论了基于约束的词汇解释对句子理解的影响。
Abstract The role of lexical frequency in syntactic ambiguity resolution was explored in two self-paced reading studies of ambiguous reduced relative clauses. Recent constraint-based models of syntactic ambiguity resolution have proposed that for a reduced relative clause (e.g., “The room searched by the police was . . .”), both the participle and past tense forms of the ambiguous verb (“searched”) are made available in parallel and that local syntactic and semantic information are used to resolve the ambiguity within a parallel constraint-satisfaction process (MacDonald, Pearlmutter, & Seidenberg, 1994a; Trueswell, Tanenhaus, & Garnsey, 1994). A crucial prediction of these models is that the frequency with which the verb is used as a participle form in the language should affect a reader's ability to consider the relative clause alternative. This prediction was confirmed in two self-paced reading experiments that directly manipulated participle frequency while controlling for the degree of contextual constraint. Implications for constraint-based lexicalist accounts of sentence comprehension are discussed.
