Spelling, pronunciation and morphological structure

尽管文献中反复提出，写作、打字和口语依赖于相同的底层处理架构，但语言产生的研究主要基于口语的证据。其中一个主要原因是，传统上认为，与口语相比，写作能力的获得要晚得多，因此，对正字法信息的词汇获取在很大程度上取决于语音获取。然而，最近越来越多的证据表明，正字法信息直接影响发音，这一发现挑战了正字法在语言产生中的从属地位的传统观点。与此同时，一些研究也证明了词形结构对拼写和写作的影响。这是另一个很难被传统的语言生成模型所适应的发现。然而，结合音韵学、形态学和正字法的研究仍然很少，需要更多的证据来证明正字法在语言产生中如何与音韵学和形态学相互作用。该项目的主要目的是为正字法与发音和形态学的相互作用提供这种类型的证据。我们的目标是通过将一些相关问题转移到一个不同的，但复杂相关的研究领域来扩大研究单位的范围：正字法表示和书面语言生产。使用语料库和实验数据，我们将从两个角度研究正字法表征在语言生成中的作用，即i)拼写对复杂单词发音的影响，ii)形态学对复杂单词拼写和类型的影响。

Although it has been repeatedly suggested in the literature that writing, typing and speaking rely on the same underlying processing architecture, language production has predominantly been studied based on evidence from spoken language. One of the main reasons is that, traditionally, it is assumed that writing abilities are acquired much later in life compared to speaking and that, hence, lexical access to orthographic information is largely dependent on phonological access. However, recently evidence is accumulating that orthographic information directly influences articulation, a finding that challenges traditional views of the subordinate role of orthography in language production. At the same time, a number of studies presents evidence for how morphological structure exerts influence on spelling and writing. This is another finding that can hardly be accommodated by traditional models of speech production. Yet, studies that combine the perspectives of phonology, morphology and orthography are still scarce and more evidence is needed for how orthography interacts with both phonology and morphology in language production.The main objective of this project is to provide this type of evidence for the interaction of orthography with both pronunciation and morphology. We aim at widening the scope of the Research Unit by transferring some of the pertinent questions to a different, yet intricately related research domain: orthographic representations and written language production. Using both corpus and experimental data, we will investigate the role of orthographic representations in language production from a twofold perspective by looking at i) spelling effects on the pronunciation of complex words and ii) morphological effects on spelling and typing of complex words.
