论正字法规则性和熟悉性在语言认知中的作用

The Role of Orthographic Regularity and Familiarity Effect in Language Recognition

摘要: 语言认知是我们每天都要面对的事情，当我们面对大量以知觉形式呈现的语言符号时，如何将其转化为丰富的含义，是否有一些语言特性呢？本文通过查阅大量研究资料，从正字法规则性和熟悉性两个因素入手，阐述了正字法规则性和熟悉性在以词条的形式呈现的词汇认知中的作用以及在以句子呈现的语境条件下的作用，最后得出结论：正字法规则性和熟悉性在一定程度上可以影响词汇认知，但并非是影响语言理解的决定因素，在有语境的条件下，即使是无意义的字符串也可以进入语义加工通道。

Abstract: Language cognition is something that we have to face every day. When we face a large number of linguistic symbols in the form of perception, questions are raised that how to convert it into a wealth of meaning, and whether there are some language peculiarities to help us understand the meaning. Through consulting a large number of materials, this paper expounds the role of ortho-graphic regularity and familiarity in cognitive vocabulary presented in the form of word list and in literature reading presented with the sentence context. Finally, the paper draws on that ortho-graphic regularity and familiarity are not the determining factors affecting language understanding though they have an effect on word recognition. And at least in a verbal context, semantic access may be attempted for any letter string, regardless of familiarity or regularity.
