There is something about the sound of a pseudoword like takete that goes better with a spiky, than a curvy shape (Köhler, 1929:1947). Yet despite decades of research into sound symbolism, the role of this effect on real words in the lexicons of natural languages remains controversial. We report one behavioural and one ERP study investigating whether sound symbolism is active during normal language processing for real words in a speaker's native language, in the same way as for novel word forms. The results indicate that sound-symbolic congruence has a number of influences on natural language processing: Written forms presented in a congruent visual context generate more errors during lexical access, as well as a chain of differences in the ERP. These effects have a very early onset (40-80 ms, 100-160 ms, 280-320 ms) and are later overshadowed by familiar types of semantic processing, indicating that sound symbolism represents an early sensory-co-activation effect.
像“takete”这样的假词，其发音与尖锐形状的适配度要高于弯曲形状（科勒，1929年：1947年）。然而，尽管对数十年的语音象征研究，但这种效应在自然语言词汇中对真实词汇的作用仍存在争议。我们报告了一项行为研究和一项ERP研究，调查语音象征在正常语言处理过程中对于说话者母语中的真实词汇是否像对新单词形式一样起作用。结果表明，语音象征一致性对自然语言处理有诸多影响：在一致的视觉语境中呈现的书面形式在词汇提取过程中会产生更多错误，同时ERP中也存在一系列差异。这些效应出现得非常早（40 - 80毫秒、100 - 160毫秒、280 - 320毫秒），随后被熟悉的语义处理类型所掩盖，这表明语音象征代表了一种早期的感觉共同激活效应。
