关于语言的一个普遍事实是主语关系从句比宾语关系从句更容易处理。最近，几项自定进度的阅读研究提供了令人惊讶的证据，表明中文中的客体亲属比客体亲属更容易处理。我们进行了三个自定进度的阅读实验，试图复制这些结果。我们的三项研究中有两项发现了相对于主题的偏好，第三项研究发现了相对于客体的优势。通过对 15 项研究（包括我们自己的研究）进行随机效应贝叶斯荟萃分析，我们发现目前关于受试者相对优势的总体证据相当有力（给定数据的受试者相对优势的后验概率约为：78-80%）。我们认为基于检索/整合的帐户很难解释所有三个实验结果。这些发现很重要，因为它们限制了一类重要的解释——检索/整合成本——的作用，从而缩小了理论空间，至少对于中文的关系从句处理来说是这样。
A general fact about language is that subject relative clauses are easier to process than object relative clauses. Recently, several self-paced reading studies have presented surprising evidence that object relatives in Chinese are easier to process than subject relatives. We carried out three self-paced reading experiments that attempted to replicate these results. Two of our three studies found a subject-relative preference, and the third study found an object-relative advantage. Using a random effects bayesian meta-analysis of fifteen studies (including our own), we show that the overall current evidence for the subject-relative advantage is quite strong (approximate posterior probability of a subject-relative advantage given the data: 78–80%). We argue that retrieval/integration based accounts would have difficulty explaining all three experimental results. These findings are important because they narrow the theoretical space by limiting the role of an important class of explanation—retrieval/integration cost—at least for relative clause processing in Chinese.
