摘　　要：Gibson的依存局域理论预计,在句子左端增设句法不完全的中心词,会增加储存、整合成本,因而增大加工难度。本研究以汉语关系从句为例,采用自控速阅读任务,通过在句首增设有待整合到"填充词—空位"依存关系的句法中心词,即指量限定词或"被",检验Gibson依存局域理论的预测是否正确。实验数据并不支持该理论预测,相反,限定词或轻动词"被"对预期式加工有帮助作用。Gibson＇ s Dependency Locality Theory predicts that adding an incomplete head at the left edge of a sentence will increase the storage and integration costs, leading to processing difficulties. Using a self-paced reading experiment, this study tests this prediction using Chinese relative clauses with incomplete syntactic heads being added to sentence-initial positions. The results are inconsistent with what the Dependency Locality Theory would predict. Rather, the presence of a determiner phrase or a light verb BEI facilitates anticipatory processing.
