论文摘要
关于我们获取和使用语言的方式,有关感官和语言输入的作用的重要问题已在心理语言文献中进行了广泛的研究。但是,各种因素在一个人的整体经验对语言系统中的相对影响尚不清楚。我们通过迈出一步,可以更好地理解色盲个体对颜色的概念感知,这是他们自发的语言作品所反映的,从而研究了这个问题。使用新颖和精心策划的数据集,我们表明红绿色的色盲式扬声器在较不可预测的环境中使用“红色”和“绿色”颜色术语,而在语言环境中,与正常视野的对应物相比,在较低程度上唤起了精神形象。这些发现对感官体验在我们的语言系统中的作用展示了一些新有趣的灯光。
Prominent questions about the role of sensory vs. linguistic input in the way we acquire and use language have been extensively studied in the psycholinguistic literature. However, the relative effect of various factors in a person's overall experience on their linguistic system remains unclear. We study this question by making a step forward towards a better understanding of the conceptual perception of colors by color-blind individuals, as reflected in their spontaneous linguistic productions. Using a novel and carefully curated dataset, we show that red-green color-blind speakers use the "red" and "green" color terms in less predictable contexts, and in linguistic environments evoking mental image to a lower extent, when compared to their normal-sighted counterparts. These findings shed some new and interesting light on the role of sensory experience on our linguistic system.
