在两个实验中，一组成年受试者和一组 10-13 岁受试者完成了 NP1 V NP2 格式的句子，因为 Pro… 片段，John 打电话给 Bill 因为他…，引发了诸如有好消息之类的完成，这将打电话的动力定位在 NP1 (John) 中。片段“约翰钦佩比尔，因为他……”引发了诸如“是一名优秀运动员”之类的成就，这在 NP2（比尔）中找到了钦佩的动力。第二个分句的主语代词与 NP1 或 NP2 共指的分配表明，这种选择取决于一个因素，即因果关系的方向，该因素可以分配给动词词根。该因素与动词出现的句子中相互作用的语义和句法特征无关。对这些特征的操纵导致因果因素的方向或多或少显着。讨论了这种技术在理解心理学研究中动词语义研究以及语义、语用和句法特征相互作用的潜力。
In two experiments a group of adult subjects and a group of 10 – 13 year old subjects completed sentences of the format NP1 V NP2 because Pro… The fragment, John telephoned Bill because he…, elicited completions such as had good news, which locate the impetus for telephoning in NP1 (John). The fragment, John admired Bill because he…, elicited completions such as was a fine athlete, which locate the impetus for admiring in NP2 (Bill). The assignment of the subject pronoun of the second clause as coreferential with NP1 or NP2 shows that this choice depends on a factor, direction of causality, which may be assigned to verb roots. This factor was isolated from interacting semantic and syntactic features of sentences in which the verbs occurred. Manipulation of these features resulted in greater or lesser salience of the direction of causality factor. The potential of this technique for investigation of verb semantics and for interaction of semantic, pragmatic and syntactic features in the psychological study of comprehension is discussed.
