中文摘要：

以24名日-汉双语者为被试，采用EyeLink2000眼动仪，通过两个实验来探讨词切分对日-汉双语者汉语句子阅读的影响。实验一采用四种词切分方式：正常条件、词间空格条件、非词空格条件和字间空格条件。为了确保四种词切分条件下旬子的空间分布一致，实验二采用灰条标记作为字、词或非词的边界。结果发现：（1）在总体和局部分析中，词间空格条件下平均注视时间显著少于正常条件；非词空格和字间空格条件下的阅读时间更长、注视次数更多。（2）在总体分析中，总句子阅读时间和总注视次数在正常条件和词间空格条件中差异不显著：局部分析中，词间空格条件比正常条件下的阅读时间更短、注视次数更少。表明日-汉双语者在阅读词间空格文本和正常文本一样容易；词切分对日-汉双语者汉语阅读的词汇识别有促进作用：在汉语阅读中，词是重要的加工单位。

英文摘要：

Unlike alphabetic scripts, such as English, the vast majority of written languages have no space information to delimit words, for example Chinese and Japanese. Chinese text is written without spaces between successive characters or words. There is no obvious visual cue to demarcate words except punctuation marks. Given this, it is intriguing how readers target their saccades and how words are recognized during Chinese reading for Chinese people and Chinese language learners. Bai et al. （2009） investigated how American international students read Chinese sentences with or without spaces. English, which was the participants＇ mother＇s language, has interword spaces in the text. Four spacing conditions were included in the experiment： normal unspaced condition; single character spaced condition （text with spaces between every character）; word spaced condition （text with spaces between words）; and nonword spaced condition （text with spaces between characters that yielded nonwords）. The results suggested that American readers＇ Chinese reading was facilitated under the word segmentation condition compared to the normal condition because they have no unspaced text reading experience, thus the spaces could help with word segmentation during Chinese reading. Therefore, it is considered that the experience of reading text with visual segmentation cues plays an important role during Chinese reading for people who learn Chinese as a second language as Li et al. （2010） suggested. Typical Japanese text is a mixture of Kanji, Hiragana ＆ Katakana. There is no interword spacing in ordinary Japanese script. However, Japanese readers are, to some extent, used to interword spacing, as children are initially taught to read spaced Hiragana to aid learning. Sainio, Hyena, Bingushi, ＆ Bertram （2007） investigated the role of interword spacing in pure Hiragana and mixed Kanji-Hiragana text. The results indicated that interword spacing served as an effective segmentation cue during Hiragana text read
