The Effect Of Placement Of Character And Word In Chinese Reading:An Eyetracking Study

A few years ago,a study called "Cambridge University Effect" on the Internet claimed that if the sentence was composed of words that were transposed by letters,the sentences were still easy to understand,so they suggest that the position information of the letters in the word is not important.Although this is only a network farce,Cambridge University professor did not do such a study,but this special reading phenomenon is still named "Cambridge University effect";this reading phenomenon attracted a lot of researchers,researchers began The letter position processing and position coding mechanism of the word.Which found the transposition effect in reading.This is another new discovery in the field of visual vocabulary recognition,following the glyph feature recognition,alphabet identification,speech decoding,lexical access and semantic activation.English text on the letter transposition of the study has been very rich in Chinese research,the location of information on the study of Chinese characters is very lack,there are very few researchers to explore the existence of transposition in Chinese effect,the Chinese research base is very weak The Chinese and phonetic characters are very different,the Chinese reading on the morpheme and the whole word position information in the reading is how the mechanism is not clear,the location of information on what kind of impact will be unclear;Second,the Chinese reading vocabulary How is the characterization and processing in the end,what is the argument,morpheme,or the whole word?Moreover,the parallelism and sequence dispute in the attention of reading is also a matter of concern to scholars.This experiment is cut from the perspective of Chinese transposition and provides a new perspective to explain the above problems.Based on the above,this study designed three experiments to explore the influence of word order and word order in Chinese reading on reading.In order to explain the debate in Chinese reading from the perspective of position order.Experiment 1 use the eye tracking technique,a single factor experiment on Chinese reading is designed.The experiment controls the three levels of the variables:the target word is the normal order,the transposition and the irreplaceable pronouns.The dependent variable is the first gaze time,gaze time and total gaze time of the target word.Experimental paradigm is a natural reading paradigm,subjects only need to carry out natural reading can be.Through the comparison between word transposition and normal order words and irrelevant substitutes,can we also verify the transposition effect of morpheme in Chinese reading?In experiment 2,an experimental study of Chinese reading between words is designed.The experimental design of the single factor(normal order,inter-transposition,irreplaceable substitution)is given.The dependent variable is the first time of the target word,the time of gaze and Always watch the time.The same is the use of natural reading paradigm of eye tracking research.In order to verify whether there is a transposition between words in Chinese reading,whether there is not only the morpheme representation in Chinese reading,but also the representation of the whole word Chinese reading in the word between the parallel processing or sequential processing,pay attention to the distribution is parallel or sequence?Experiment 3 designed the experiment,this experiment is the same as the single factor test design,variable control for the three conditions were:normal order,interspoken disorder and irreplaceable substitution;at the same time the interdepartment of disorder design into six different words The level of chaos disorder.The dependent variable is the first gaze time,gaze time and total gaze time of the target word.Want to further explore whether parallel processing exists throughout the perceptual range and is parallel to all morphemes?Is there a transposition effect on all morphemes within the perceptual range of Chinese reading?Will this effect increase as the degree of morpheme increases?Through three experimental studies,the following conclusions are drawn:First,there is not only the morpheme transposition effect in Chinese reading,but also the transposition effect between words.Second,there is not only the morpheme representation in the process of Chinese reading vocabulary processing,but also the whole word representation.Support the hybrid accessibility model.Thirdly,in the Chinese reading,the processing of the position of the morpheme and the position of the word is mainly in the middle and late stages of the vocabulary processing,and the early is the access to the semantic information.Fourth,the Chinese reading,the reader within the scope of the information is the use of parallel processing,rather than sequential processing.
