人工语言学习的实验研究已经成为研究语言学习和表征理论预测的一种广泛使用的手段。虽然现在对学习者从各种数据中做出的概括有很多了解,但对这些表征如何影响语音处理却知之甚少。本文介绍了一个事件相关电位(ERP)研究的大脑反应的违反实验室学习的语音。违反习得的音位结构约束的新单词比满足该约束的新单词引起更大的后期正成分(Late Positive Component,LPC),类似的LPC也被发现用于违反原生习得的语言结构,以及违反其他类型的抽象概括,如音乐结构。我们认为,实验室学习的语音概括表示抽象和影响的方式,是类似于原生收购的句法和语音规则的语音评价。
The experimental study of artificial language learning has become a widely used means of investigating the predictions of theories of language learning and representation. Although much is now known about the generalizations that learners make from various kinds of data, relatively little is known about how those representations affect speech processing. This paper presents an event-related potential (ERP) study of brain responses to violations of lab-learned phonotactics. Novel words that violated a learned phonotactic constraint elicited a larger Late Positive Component (LPC) than novel words that satisfied it. Similar LPCs have been found for violations of natively acquired linguistic structure, as well as for violations of other types of abstract generalizations, such as musical structure. We argue that lab-learned phonotactic generalizations are represented abstractly and affect the evaluation of speech in a manner that is similar to natively acquired syntactic and phonological rules.
