研究了语义透明度在一般形态处理和特别是复合处理中的作用。有人认为,语义透明度的概念对于解释复合词如何在大脑中表示和处理至关重要。提出了一个模型的草图,其中根据刺激属性、词汇属性和概念属性来描述复合处理。该模型根据复合成分与相应独立语素之间语义关系的四向分类来表示语义透明度的概念。它还区分语义成分和非成分复合词。有人提出,该模型提供了一个框架,在该框架中可以理解实验心理语言学发现,并可以在其中表征与复合加工相关的失语症缺陷。作为一个例子,本文对一名失语症患者进行了重新分析,该患者表现出将语义上不透明的复合词解释为透明的倾向,并将不透明的复合词解释为成分意义和整个词意义的混合。有人认为,该患者的潜在缺陷是由于在概念表征水平上刺激之间的竞争而导致的抑制失败。 (C) 1998 年学术出版社。
The role of semantic transparency in morphological processing in general and in compound processing in particular is examined. It is argued that the notion of semantic transparency is crucial to an account of how compounds are represented and processed in the mind. A sketch of a model is proposed in which compound processing is described in terms of stimulus properties, lexical properties, and conceptual properties. The model represents the notion of semantic transparency in terms of a four-way classification of the semantic relationship between a compound's constituents and the corresponding independent morphemes. It also distinguishes between semantically componential and noncomponential compounds. It is proposed that the model offers a framework within which experimental psycholinguistic findings can be understood and within which aphasic deficits associated with compound processing can be characterized. As an example of this, the paper presents a reanalysis of an aphasic patient who exhibits the tendency to interpret semantically opaque compounds as though they were transparent and to interpret opaque compounds in terms of a blend of constituent and whole-word meaning. It is argued that the underlying deficit in this patient is the failure for inhibition to result from the competition among stimuli at the conceptual level of representation. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
