The invariance of sentence performance structures across language modality.

摘要: Native users of American Sign Language were asked to manipulate sentences in four different ways: sign them at slow rate, parse them, make relatedness judgments pairs signs taken from each sentence, and recall the sentences. The data obtained these tasks (pause durations, parsing values, indices probe latencies) used construct hierarchical performance structures for resulting highly similar across tasks; that is, are not task specific. measures boundary sentence well predicted by a model, elaborated Grosjean, Lane speech, combines measure with symmetry measure. Thus appear be founded processing language, it visual or oral, properties any particular communication modality.
