可逆讀中文雙字詞的閱讀

Abstract

所謂可逆讀雙字詞是指一個雙字詞無論依「從左往右」的方向閱讀，或是依「從 "右往左」的方向閱讀均是有意義的。本研究以唸詞作業的方式，並控制促發項和目標項之間 的「字形相似性」與「字音相同性」， 以及 SOA 之長短，以探討可逆讀雙字詞的閱讀歷程 。結果發現顯著的「可逆讀性效果」，此效果可用 Morton 之「字生模式」加以解釋。此外 ，本研究中對於可逆讀性高的雙字詞與可逆讀性低的雙字詞之閱讀歷程也有所討論。

Reversible words are words which can be read either from left to right vice versa. In this study, the reading process of reversible words was investigated by a naming task. The orthographical similarity and phonological identity between the primer and the target were manipulated. The stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) was also manipulated in two experiments. The results from this study showed that the naming speed of the words with low reversibility was faster than that of the words with high reversibility. The results also showed that the orthographyical similarity effect depended on the SOA and the reversibility of the target words. The reading process of reversible words was discussed based on the above results.
