Processing of compound nouns: Psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic investigations

考察了德语复合名词的人类加工过程（继续DFG项目，以确定（a）哪些词汇语义因素影响这些刺激的加工，（B）词汇化复合词的加工是否涉及概念组合过程，以及（c）词元信息是否不仅在全词水平上而且在成分水平上被获取（尤其是非核心成员）。为此，（1）分析了100个复合目标的失语图片命名数据，考察了词频因素的潜在影响（整词和部件）、部件位置和习得年龄（整体词和成分）对患者个体功能障碍类型的影响;（B）实验研究是用失语症和非失语症的说话者来确定复合成分之间的主位关系的作用（修饰语和中心语）以加涅及其同事的概念组合理论为理论框架和出发点;（c）性别句法特征的影响（引理水平）（头部和修饰语）进行了调查，使用性别决策任务与失语症和非-作为一个主导的假设，它被认为是复合的基础上的建设性和成分的词汇能力，无论是在概念和句法处理水平。

The human processing of German compound nouns is investigated (in continuation of DFG-Project in order to determine (a) which lexical-semantic factors affect processing of these stimuli,, (b) whether conceptual-combinatory processes are involved in the processing of lexicalized compounds, and (c) whether lemma information is accessed not only at the whole-word level but also at the level of the components (and in particular the non-head constituents). For that purpose (a) the aphasic picture naming data for 100 compound targets are analyzed regarding the potential impact of the factors of lexical frequency (whole word and components), component position and age of acquisition (whole word and components) on the patients´ indovidual patterns of functional disturbance;(b) experimental investigations are run with aphasic and non-aphasic speakers determining the role of thematic relations between the compound components (modifier and head) with Gagné and co-workers´theory of conceptual combination as theoretical framework and starting point ;(c) the influence of the syntactic feature of gender (lemma level) (head and also modifier) is investigated using gender decision tasks with aphasic and non-aphasic subjects.As a leading hypothesis it is assumed that compounding is based on constructive and compositional lexical capacities both on a conceptual and a syntactic level of processsing.
