形态语法的单路径模型假设屈折字处理涉及基于联想记忆的存储,而双路径模型提出规则控制的组合作为基于存储的机制的替代方案。我们通过他们对词频是否影响正常形态句法屈折的不同预测(如在单路径模型中)或不(双路径模型中)来测试这些说法。迄今为止,Allen、Badecker和Osterhout(2003)进行的唯一一项使用脑电图(EEG)进行测试的研究报告显示,单词语法性和词频之间没有相互作用。我们在概念上复制和扩展了Allen等人(2003)的广义加性混合模型,该模型保留了每次试验和每次样本信息,以避免事件相关的潜在式平均试验的统计能力损失,同时避免了所有单词和个体的文字处理时间过程相同的假设。在我们的脑电图研究中,51名以英语为母语的人阅读了基于关键字操纵的句子,这些句子要么包含或不包含限定词一致违反(例如,this school/*schools),要么包含主谓语一致违反(例如,the child runs/*run)。我们遵循先前研究的广义加性混合建模过程,将英国国家语料库中的词频作为连续预测器。我们复制了Allen et al.(2003)报告的频率和语法性的主要影响。关键的是,我们发现频率和语法性之间没有显著的相互作用。这些结果支持Allen et al.(2003)与双路径模型对屈折文字处理中类似组合机制的解释一致。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neurolinguistics is an international forum for the integration of the neurosciences and language sciences. JNL provides for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research into the interaction between language, communication and brain processes. The focus is on rigorous studies of an empirical or theoretical nature and which make an original contribution to our knowledge about the involvement of the nervous system in communication and its breakdowns. Contributions from neurology, communication disorders, linguistics, neuropsychology and cognitive science in general are welcome. Published articles will typically address issues relating some aspect of language or speech function to its neurological substrates with clear theoretical import. Interdisciplinary work on any aspect of the biological foundations of language and its disorders resulting from brain damage is encouraged. Studies of normal subjects, with clear reference to brain functions, are appropriate. Group-studies on well defined samples and case studies with well documented lesion or nervous system dysfunction are acceptable. The journal is open to empirical reports and review articles. Special issues on aspects of the relation between language and the structure and function of the nervous system are also welcome.
