漢字唸名的一致性，規則性，與頻率效果

Consistency, Regularity, and Frequency Effects in Naming Chinese Characters

本研究一共包含三個實驗，用以探討中文的字頻，表音一致性，以及表音規則性如何影響唸字的歷程。三個實驗中，不論形聲字的音旁是否能夠單獨存在成為一個合法的字，均可發現顯著的字頻與表音一致性的交互作用。這些研究結果用來支持，音旁所具有的語音訊息，在認字的歷程中會被解離出來，進而影響唸字的速度與正確率。而這些語音訊息的解離，並不單純是因為這些音旁本身是否具有讀音，而是因為這個結構系統性的出現在不同的形聲字當中，進而具有對應的語音訊息。此外，實驗一的結果發現表音的一致性與規則性對於唸字的歷程有不同的影響。這些研究結果可以用交互激發模型與連結模型來討論。

Three experiments in naming Chinese characters are presented here to address the relationships between character frequency, consistency, and regularity effects in Chinese character naming. Significant interactions between character consistency and frequency were found across the three experiments, regardless of whether the phonetic radical of the phonogram is a legitimate character in its own right or not. These findings suggest that the phonological information embedded in Chinese characters has an influence upon the naming process of Chinese characters. Furthermore, phonetic radicals exist as computation units mainly because they are structures occurring systematically within Chinese characters, not because they can function as recognized, freestanding characters. On the other hand, the significant interaction between regularity and consistency found in the first experiment suggests that these two factors affect Chinese character naming in different ways. These findings are accounted for within interactive activation frameworks and a connectionist model.
