摘要 When reading sentences, as more words are read, the context is built up and updated from preceding and current word meanings. Contextual processing interacting with lexical processing play a crucial role in reading proficiency for both sentence comprehension and word recognition. In this chapter, the issue of how contextual information affects the lexical processing of an upcoming word in Chinese sentence reading is addressed. For alphabetic languages, eye movement studies consistently showed the influence of contextual constraint on word recognition. The fixation duration on words, which were predictable from the preceding context, was shorter than on the unpredictable words. For reading Chinese, the use of contextual information could be more essential than in alphabetic languages due to the ambiguities of word boundaries and meanings in Chinese sentences. This chapter introduce studies of manipulating word predictability and word frequency to highlight the involvement of contextual information on Chinese word recognition in sentence reading.
