The contribution of assembled phonology to phonological effects in reading comprehension was assessed. In Experiment 1, subjects judged the acceptability of sentences with regular, exception, and nonword homophone substitutions and orthographic controls. Significantly more errors occurred to sentences with regular-word homophones than to exception words, and error rates for nonword homophones were low and not significant. Experiment 2 showed that this was not due to differences in the sentence frames. In Experiment 3, the subjects judged as unacceptable those sentences containing an exception word that sounded correct when read according to spelling-to-sound rules. Significantly higher error rates occurred only for low-frequency exception words. Experiment 4 showed that task conditions affect semantic-categorization error rates for nonword homophones. These results indicate that both assembled and addressed phonology contribute to sentence and word comprehension, but the low error rate for nonwords suggests that an early lexical check may be applied.
研究评估了组合音系对阅读理解中语音效应的贡献。在实验1中，受试者判断含有规则词、例外词、非词同音词替换以及正字法对照的句子的可接受性。与例外词相比，规则词同音词的句子出现的错误明显更多，而非词同音词的错误率较低且不显著。实验2表明，这并非由于句子框架的差异。在实验3中，受试者认为那些包含根据拼写-发音规则读出时听起来正确的例外词的句子不可接受。仅低频例外词出现的错误率显著更高。实验4表明任务条件会影响非词同音词的语义分类错误率。这些结果表明，组合音系和通达音系都对句子和单词理解有贡献，但非词的低错误率表明可能会进行早期词汇检查。
