Resumo: | Several studies have found that factors of different nature (semantic, morphological and syntactic) affect the computation of subject-verb agreement during sentence production (Bock & Miller, 1991; Franck et al., 2002; Hartsuiker et al., 2001; Haskell & MacDonald 2003; Vigliocco et al. 1995, 1996). The aims of this paper are: a) to investigate the influence of the linear order of constituents, exploiting the relative flexibility of Spanish; b) inquire whether a semantic variable, such as distributive reading, and a morphological variable, such as manipulation of the number of local noun, are factors that affect the processing of the agreement. We designed an experiment using an image description task with preambles in which the order of the subject of the sentence (pre-verbal or post-verbal), the type of preamble (nominal phrases with distributive and non-distributive reading) and the number of the local noun (singular-plural) was manipulated. The results showed a main effect of the local noun number, the type of preamble and the linear order of the constituents: more subject-verb agreement errors occurred when the sentence presented an asymmetry in the number of nouns (N1 Singular- N2 Plural), the phrases had a distributive reading and the order was subject-verb. The results seem to indicate that syntactic, semantic and morphological factors interfere together in the agreement processing in Spanish and support the postulates of the interactive models of agreement production. In addition, they provide evidence to a general processing model in which the different factors work as keys to the retrieval of information in the agreement computation (Badecker & Kuminiak 2007). |

Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: a) investigar la influencia del orden lineal de constituyentes, explotando la relativa flexibilidad del español; b) indagar si una variable semántica, como es la lectura distributiva, y una variable morfológica, como es la manipulación del número de sustantivo interfiriente, son factores que afectan el procesamiento de la concordancia. Se diseñó un experimento utilizando una tarea de descripción de imágenes con preámbulos en los que se manipuló el orden del sujeto de la oración (preverbal o postverbal), el tipo de preámbulo (sintagmas nominales con lectura distributiva y no distributiva) y el número del sustantivo interfiriente (singular-plural). Los resultados mostraron un efecto principal del Número del sustantivo interfiriente, del Tipo de preámbulo y del Orden lineal de los constituyentes: se produjeron más errores de concordancia sujeto-verbo cuando la oración presentaba una asimetría en el número de los sustantivos (N1 Singular- N2 Plural), los sintagmas tenían una lectura distributiva y el orden era Sujeto-Verbo. Los resultados presentados parecen indicar que factores sintácticos, semánticos y morfológicos interfieren en conjunto en el procesamiento de la concordancia en español y apoyan los postulados de los modelos interactivos de producción de la concordancia. Además, aportan evidencia a un modelo general de procesamiento en el que los distintos factores funcionan como claves para la recuperación de la información en el cómputo de la concordancia (Badecker & Kuminiak 2007).UNESP2017-12-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/917710.1590/1981-5794-1711-1ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 61 n. 3 (2017)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.

Several studies have found that factors of different nature (semantic, morphological and syntactic) affect the computation of subject-verb agreement during sentence production (Bock & Miller, 1991; Franck et al., 2002; Hartsuiker et al., 2001; Haskell & MacDonald 2003; Vigliocco et al. 1995, 1996). The aims of this paper are: a) to investigate the influence of the linear order of constituents, exploiting the relative flexibility of Spanish; b) inquire whether a semantic variable, such as distributive reading, and a morphological variable, such as manipulation of the number of local noun, are factors that affect the processing of the agreement. We designed an experiment using an image description task with preambles in which the order of the subject of the sentence (pre-verbal or post-verbal), the type of preamble (nominal phrases with distributive and non-distributive reading) and the number of the local noun (singular-plural) was manipulated. The results showed a main effect of the local noun number, the type of preamble and the linear order of the constituents: more subject-verb agreement errors occurred when the sentence presented an asymmetry in the number of nouns (N1 Singular- N2 Plural), the phrases had a distributive reading and the order was subject-verb. The results seem to indicate that syntactic, semantic and morphological factors interfere together in the agreement processing in Spanish and support the postulates of the interactive models of agreement production. In addition, they provide evidence to a general processing model in which the different factors work as keys to the retrieval of information in the agreement computation (Badecker & Kuminiak 2007). |
