This study investigates the role of sublexical units in the phonological encoding of English single-word production in a word-naming task (Experiment 1) and a picture-naming task (Experiment 2). Targets corresponded to bisyllabic English nouns with word-initial stress which varied on the structure of their first syllable: CV (e.g., pi.lot), CVC (e.g., pic.nic), or CV[C] (e. g., pi[ll]ow).1 Targets were preceded by a visually masked prime that either matched their first syllable (e.g., pi%%% - pi.lot) or that was one segment longer (e.g., pil%% - pi.lot) or shorter (e.g., pi%%%% - pic.nic) than the first syllable. Response times were compared to a neutral control condition (e.g., %&$%% - pi.lot) to measure the priming effects (either facilitation or inhibition). Results showed significant facilitation for both the CV and the CVC conditions. However, contrary to previous findings, there was no interaction between the syllabic structure of the prime and the target.
本研究在单词命名任务（实验1）和图片命名任务（实验2）中，调查了次词汇单位在英语单词语音编码中的作用。目标词为双音节英语名词，重音在词首，其第一个音节的结构各不相同：CV（如pi.lot）、CVC（如pic.nic）或CV[C]（如pi[ll]ow）。1目标词之前有一个视觉掩蔽启动词，该启动词要么与目标词的第一个音节匹配（如pi%%% - pi.lot），要么比第一个音节长一个音段（如pil%% - pi.lot）或短一个音段（如pi%%%% - pic.nic）。将反应时间与中性控制条件（如%&$%% - pi.lot）进行比较，以测量启动效应（促进或抑制）。结果显示，CV和CVC条件下均有显著的促进作用。然而，与之前的研究结果相反，启动词和目标词的音节结构之间没有相互作用。
