Abstract

In this study, we conducted an eye-tracking experiment to investigate the effects of sentence context and tonal information on spoken word recognition processes in Cantonese Chinese. We recruited 60 native Cantonese listeners to participate in the eye-tracking experiment. The target words (phonologically similar words) were manipulated to either (1) a congruent context or (2) an incongruent context in the experiment. The resulting eye-movement patterns in the incongruent context condition clearly revealed that (1) sentence context produced a garden-path effect in the initial stage of the spoken word recognition processes and then (2) the lexical tone of the word (bottom-up information) overrode the contextual effects to help listeners to discriminate between different similar-sounding words during lexical access. In conclusion, the patterns of eye-tracking data show the interactive processes between the lexical tone (an acoustic cue within a Cantonese word) and sentence context played in different phases to the spoken word recognition of Cantonese Chinese.

在句子语境中追踪广东话口语识别的时间过程：来自眼动的证据。

在本研究中，我们进行了一项眼动追踪实验，以研究句子上下文和音调信息对粤语口语单词识别过程的影响。我们招募了60名广东人参加眼动追踪实验。在实验中，目标词（语音相似词）被操纵到（1）一致上下文或（2）不一致上下文。在不协调语境条件下产生的眼动模式清楚地表明：（1）句子语境在口语识别过程的初始阶段产生了花园路径效应，然后（2）单词的词汇音调（自下而上的信息）超过了语境效应，帮助听众在词汇识别过程中区分不同的发音相似的单词通道总之，眼动追踪数据的模式显示了在粤语口语识别的不同阶段，词汇音调（粤语单词中的声学线索）和句子上下文之间的互动过程。

期刊介绍： The journal provides coverage spanning a broad spectrum of topics in all areas of experimental psychology. The journal is primarily dedicated to the publication of theory and review articles and brief reports of outstanding experimental work. Areas of coverage include cognitive psychology broadly construed, including but not limited to action, perception, & attention, language, learning & memory, reasoning & decision making, and social cognition. We welcome submissions that approach these issues from a variety of perspectives such as behavioral measurements, comparative psychology, development, evolutionary psychology, genetics, neuroscience, and quantitative/computational modeling. We particularly encourage integrative research that crosses traditional content and methodological boundaries.
