句子中单词的语音属性已被证明会影响处理的流畅性和理解。然而，音韵学在句子理解中的确切作用仍不清楚。如果在日常处理过程中将成分存储在工作记忆中并通过其语音代码进行访问，那么语音信息可能会对后词汇理解过程（例如主题整合的检索）产生普遍影响。另一方面，如果在解析期间对内存中的成分的访问主要由句法和语义信息引导，则解析器应该与基于语音的效果隔离。在两个自定进度的阅读实验中，我们测试了干扰项和检索目标之间的语音重叠是否会在主题整合过程中造成检索干扰。我们发现，语音重叠在填充词的初始编码过程中造成了困难，但没有证据表明语音重叠会在检索填充词进行主题整合时造成后来的干扰。尽管对编码有影响，语音干扰并没有对理解产生不利影响。这些结果表明，在增量句子处理的常规依存构建过程中，语音信息没有被用作检索线索。最后，我们考虑了在异常句法和/或语义干扰的条件下音系学在解析中的潜在重要性。
Phonological properties of the words in a sentence have been shown to affect processing fluency and comprehension. However, the exact role of phonology in sentence comprehension remains unclear. If constituents are stored in working memory during routine processing and accessed through their phonological code, phonological information may exert a pervasive influence on post-lexical comprehension processes such as retrieval for thematic integration. On the other hand, if access to constituents in memory during parsing is guided primarily by syntactic and semantic information, the parser should be isolated from phonologically based effects. In two self-paced reading experiments, we tested whether phonological overlap between distractors and a retrieval target caused retrieval interference during thematic integration. We found that phonological overlap creates difficulty during the initial encoding of the filler, but there was no evidence that phonological overlap caused later interference when the filler was retrieved for thematic integration. Despite effects at encoding, phonological interference did not have a detrimental effect on comprehension. These results suggest that phonological information is not used as a retrieval cue during routine dependency construction in incremental sentence processing. We conclude by considering the potential importance of phonology in parsing under conditions of extraordinary syntactic and/or semantic interference.
