事件合理性在句子阅读中作用的研究有助于明确句子阅读时各种信息的时间整合进程,进一步建构语言理解的系统构架。研究表明事件合理性会影响句子阅读。一方面,句子阅读的很多研究方法都可以用来考察事件合理性;另一方面,事件合理性研究结果的解释可以补充句子理解机制。目前研究者们对事件合理性能否即时影响句子阅读存在争议,而且影响事件合理性的因素有很多,因此以后的研究应平衡好各种影响因素,也可采用双语被试来研究句子合理性。
The event-based plausibility knowledge is playing an increasingly important role in sentence comprehension.The studies of the event-based plausibility in sentence reading can clarity the time course of different kinds of knowledge during on-line reading comprehension, as well as build the architecture of the language processing system. A number of studies have demonstrated that event-based plausibility has a strong influence on language comprehension. On the one hand, methods which are used in sentence reading can be used in event-based plausibility research; on the other hand, the studies of event-based plausibility can provide new ideas to the theory of sentence reading. Given that a number of theories of language comprehension hinge on the rapid influence of event-based plausibility, and many factors, like selectional restrictions and thematic roles, can influence the event-based plausibility, future studies should balance these factors, bilingual participants being used in experiment may be a good choice.
