We investigated whether and how sublexical units such as phonological syllables mediate access to the lexicon in French visual word recognition. To do so, two lexical decision task (LDT) experiments examined the nature of the syllabic neighbourhood effect. In Experiments 1a and b, the number of higher frequency syllabic neighbours was manipulated while controlling for the first bigram. The results failed to show a pure syllabic neighbourhood effect. In Experiments 2a and b, syllabic neighbourhood and bigram frequency were factorially manipulated. The interaction showed that the syllabic neighbourhood effect was inhibitory when bigram frequency was high, whereas it was facilitatory when bigram frequency was low. Similar patterns of results were found in both the yes/no (Experiments 1a and 2a) and go/no-go LDTs (Experiments 1b and 2b), so varying task requirements of the lexical decision did not influence the effect. These findings are discussed in the context of parallel distributed processing and interactive-activation models, and suggest that orthographic redundancy properties contribute to the influence of phonological syllables.
我们研究了诸如语音音节等亚词汇单元是否以及如何在法语视觉单词识别中介导对词汇的访问。为此，两项词汇判断任务（LDT）实验考察了音节邻域效应的性质。在实验1a和1b中，在控制首字母双字母组的同时，操纵高频音节邻域的数量。结果未能显示出纯粹的音节邻域效应。在实验2a和2b中，对音节邻域和双字母组频率进行了析因操纵。交互作用表明，当双字母组频率较高时，音节邻域效应具有抑制作用，而当双字母组频率较低时，音节邻域效应具有促进作用。在是/否（实验1a和2a）和Go/No-Go LDT（实验1b和2b）中都发现了类似的结果模式，因此词汇判断任务要求的变化不会影响该效应。这些发现将在并行分布式处理和交互式激活模型的背景下进行讨论，并表明正字法冗余特性有助于语音音节的影响。
