In two on-line experiments (N = 386) we asked participants to make speeded grammatical decisions to a mixture of syntactically correct sentences and ungrammatical sequences of words. In Experiment 1, the ungrammatical sequences were formed by transposing two inner words in a correct sentence (e.g., the brave daunt the wind / the daunt brave the wind), and we manipulated the orthographic relatedness of the two transposed words (e.g., the brave brace the wind / the brace brave the wind). We found inhibitory effects of orthographic relatedness in decisions to both the correct sentences and the ungrammatical transposed-word sequences. In Experiment 2, we further investigated the impact of orthographic relatedness on transposed-word effects by including control ungrammatical sequences that were matched to the transposed-word sequences. We replicated the inhibitory effects of orthographic relatedness on both grammatical and ungrammatical decisions and found that transposed-word effects were not influenced by this factor. We conclude that orthographic relatedness across adjacent words impacts on processes involved in parallel word identification for sentence comprehension, but not on the association of word identities to positions in a sequence.
在两项在线实验中(N=386),我们要求参与者对混合了语法正确的句子和不合语法的单词序列的句子进行快速语法判断。在实验 1 中,不合语法的序列是通过在正确的句子中调换两个内部单词形成的(例如,勇敢的人不畏风/不畏风的勇敢的人),我们操纵了两个调换单词的拼写相关性(例如,勇敢的支撑物/支撑物的勇敢的人)。我们发现,在对正确句子和不合语法的调换词序列的判断中,拼写相关性都产生了抑制效应。在实验 2 中,我们通过包括与调换词序列匹配的控制不合语法的序列,进一步研究了拼写相关性对调换词效应的影响。我们复制了拼写相关性对语法和不合语法判断的抑制效应,并发现该因素并不影响调换词效应。我们得出结论,相邻单词之间的拼写相关性会影响句子理解中并行单词识别所涉及的过程,但不会影响单词身份与序列中位置的关联。
