Abstract

To communicate successfully, listeners must decode both the literal and intended meanings of a speaker’s message. This ability is especially crucial when processing indirect replies as intended meanings can differ significantly from what was said. How native and non-native speakers differ in this ability is an open question. The present study investigated differences in the time course of indirect reply processing in native and non-native Mandarin speakers. EEG signals were recorded while participants were presented with conversations that differed in their directness. For indirect replies, native speakers exhibited a larger left anterior N400 and posterior late positive component (LPC). Conversely, non-native speakers exhibited a larger left-distributed LPC and delayed LPC. Findings support that non-native speakers exhibit delayed processing of indirect replies, potentially because of cognitive resource limitations. Findings from the present study have implications for a broad range of investigations on human communication and second language processing.

汉语母语和非母语者间接回答加工的时间过程:ERP研究
要成功地进行交流,听者必须对说话者信息的字面意思和意图进行解码。这种能力在处理间接回答时尤为重要,因为预期含义可能与所说内容大相径庭。母语者和非母语者在这一能力上有何不同是一个未决问题。本研究调查了母语为普通话的人和非母语为普通话的人处理间接回答的时间过程的差异。研究人员在向参与者展示不同直接程度的对话时记录了脑电信号。对于间接回答,母语为普通话的人表现出较大的左前 N400 和后晚期阳性成分(LPC)。相反,非母语者则表现出较大的左侧分布 LPC 和延迟 LPC。研究结果表明,非母语者对间接回答的处理表现出延迟,这可能是由于认知资源的限制。本研究的结果对人类交流和第二语言处理的广泛研究具有重要意义。
