Chinese Sentence Comprehension, Syntactic And Semantic Interaction

In opsite to the simple and experience of reading and understanding sentence in actual life , the complxcity and unsure of mechanism on which the people relie to acomplish the transformation from the deep structure to the surface level result in the argument on how semantic and synatic function in the sentence paser. The effort of researches in the past decades has yet convinced us with experimantial evidence that sentence processing really depend on the the intergration of both elements . However , further discussion of the working style of above two systems is required to define the interaction of them in Chinese.When people read and process sentence in Chinese , inevitably there are two definitive factors: sequence of the lexion and the assistant of the auxiliary word that affect the sentence comprehension . Within several decades As an alternative to this proposal, we consider the possiblity that through contraling the variable of the auxiliary word expose the inner mechanism of such framework. There were three experiments designed for this object.The first experiment utilize the method of moving-window technique(by means of keyboard-controled sequential display techinque ,the reading time of each individual character was mearsured as on-line indicator of comprehension process )to compare the recations under both the conditions of with or without auxiliary word after the verb .In the second experiment ,the auxiliary word is assigned to different time sequence, in another word ,the subjects will read the Chinese sentence in the screen ,in which the auxiliary word appear in various time point compared with other elements of the whole item .Experiment3 used a flexible format that detect how the range between verb and AW influence the paser of semantic and syntax .The result showed a significant difference in diverse point according to the relation to the verb .The finding are discussed in relation to existing computational models in sentence reading .The main results and conclusions:(1) Native speaker of Chinese symbols the sentence according to the extent of the sentence reading .In addition ,the readers will process the high-frequency non- synatic infromation as soon as it is detected ,this is consist with the theory of constraint-satisfaction model.(2) In each stage of sentence process, there is a temporary synatic structure which is the antipithy for the hereafter components. It indecates that the theory of constraint-satisfaction model provide a better interpre of the sentence comprehension in Chinese language. (3) Through the analysis of data from different experiments, the research assured that the technology of moving-windows can reach a credibility conclusion.
