隐性因果偏差是指某些动词在使用过程中引起前一句中的第一个名词短语（NP1）或第二个名词短语（NP2）被再次提及的倾向，在心理语言学研究中具有重要意义。理解IC动词及其在手语和口语中的偏误来源有助于阐明这些现象是语言的普遍现象还是口语情态的特有现象。作为第一个同类研究，本研究调查了IC偏误在美国手语（ASL），并提供了IC偏误规范超过200个动词，促进未来的心理语言学研究的ASL和口语与手语的比较。我们调查了母语ASL签名者是否继续使用IC动词的句子（例如，“丽莎惹恼了玛雅，因为.”的ASL等价物）通过提及NP 1（即，丽莎）或NP 2（即，Maya）。我们发现了一个倾向于更多的NP2偏向动词。先前的研究发现，动词的主题角色预测偏向方向：刺激体验者动词（例如，“烦恼”），其中第一个参数是刺激（引起烦恼），第二个参数是体验者（体验烦恼），引出更多的NP 1延续。具有经验刺激主题角色的动词（例如，“爱”）引出更多的NP2延续。我们探讨了更多的NP2偏向动词的趋势是否与现有的主张，即刺激体验者动词不存在于手语。我们发现，刺激体验者的结构，而允许的，是罕见的，影响的IC偏置分布在ASL。然而，主位角色预测的IC偏置在美国手语，这表明，主位角色IC偏置关系是稳定的跨语言以及模式。
Implicit causality (IC) biases, the tendency of certain verbs to elicit re-mention of either the first-mentioned noun phrase (NP1) or the second-mentioned noun phrase (NP2) from the previous clause, are important in psycholinguistic research. Understanding IC verbs and the source of their biases in signed as well as spoken languages helps elucidate whether these phenomena are language general or specific to the spoken modality. As the first of its kind, this study investigates IC biases in American Sign Language (ASL) and provides IC bias norms for over 200 verbs, facilitating future psycholinguistic studies of ASL and comparisons of spoken versus signed languages. We investigated whether native ASL signers continued sentences with IC verbs (e.g., ASL equivalents of ‘Lisa annoys Maya because…’) by mentioning NP1 (i.e., Lisa) or NP2 (i.e., Maya). We found a tendency towards more NP2-biased verbs. Previous work has found that a verb’s thematic roles predict bias direction: stimulus-experiencer verbs (e.g., ‘annoy’), where the first argument is the stimulus (causing annoyance) and the second argument is the experiencer (experiencing annoyance), elicit more NP1 continuations. Verbs with experiencer-stimulus thematic roles (e.g., ‘love’) elicit more NP2 continuations. We probed whether the trend towards more NP2-biased verbs was related to an existing claim that stimulus-experiencer verbs do not exist in sign languages. We found that stimulus-experiencer structure, while permitted, is infrequent, impacting the IC bias distribution in ASL. Nevertheless, thematic roles predict IC bias in ASL, suggesting that the thematic role-IC bias relationship is stable across languages as well as modalities.
