Several experiments designed to test the psychological validity of Chomsky and Halle's (1968) Vowel Shift Rule are reviewed, and both positive and negative evidence is evaluated. Moskowitz's (1973) claim that speakers' knowledge of vowel alternations is due to their knowledge of spelling rules is introduced, and an experiment designed to differentiate between behavior based on the Vowel Shift Rule and on spelling rules is presented in detail. It is shown that subjects in this experiment, and in previous experiments that claimed to have obtained positive evidence for the Vowel Shift Rule, are behaving in accord with spelling rules and not the Vowel Shift Rule. It is argued that literacy is a possible source of psychologically real linguistic knowledge.
本文回顾了多项旨在检验乔姆斯基和哈勒（1968）元音转换规则心理有效性的实验，并对正反两方面的证据进行了评估。文中介绍了莫斯科维茨（1973）的观点，即说话者对元音交替的了解源于他们对拼写规则的掌握，并详细介绍了一项旨在区分基于元音转换规则和拼写规则的行为的实验。结果表明，该实验以及之前声称已获得元音转换规则正面证据的实验中的受试者，其行为符合拼写规则而非元音转换规则。本文认为，读写能力可能是心理上真实的语言知识的一个来源。
