Chinese coordinative compound words are common and unique in inter-character semantic and orthographic relationships. This study explored the inter-character orthographic similarity effects on the recognition of transparent two-morpheme coordinative compound words. Seventy-two native Chinese readers participated in a lexical decision task. The findings demonstrated robust inhibitory inter-character orthographic similarity effects, intra-word character reversal effects, and inter-character semantic similarity effects. These results were compared to those of previous studies on coordinative compound word recognition and on the orthographic similarity phenomenon at both character and word levels. The findings were explained with the multi-level representational model of morphological processing of Chinese compound words (Zhou and Marslen-Wilson in Psychologia 43:47-66, 2000). The model was further extended by adding the activation of morpho-orthographic relationships and the mapping of morphemic orthographic information onto the semantic information of both morphemes and whole words.
汉语联合式复合词在字间语义和正字法关系方面既常见又独特。本研究探讨了字间正字法相似性对透明双语素联合式复合词识别的影响。72名以汉语为母语的读者参与了一项词汇判断任务。研究结果表明，存在显著的抑制性字间正字法相似性效应、词内字序颠倒效应和字间语义相似性效应。这些结果与之前关于联合式复合词识别以及字和词层面正字法相似性现象的研究结果进行了比较。研究结果用汉语复合词形态加工的多层次表征模型（周和马斯伦 - 威尔逊，《心理学》43:47 - 66，2000）进行了解释。通过增加形态正字法关系的激活以及将语素正字法信息映射到语素和整个词的语义信息上，该模型得到了进一步扩展。
