چکیده
The present study investigated the role of semantic priming in the processing of ambiguous sentences containing Relative Clauses (RCs) preceded by a complex Noun Phrase (NP) by Persian native speakers. To this end, in a self-paced reading task using E-prime software, 63 Persian native speakers read sentences containing ambiguous RCs in their L1, i.e. Persian. The type of semantic relationship in this study was the one between the RC and one of the NPs within the complex NP to find out whether priming one of the NPs through this semantic manipulation would affect Persian native speakers’ attachment preferences. The results of the off-line post interpretive (RC attachment preferences) and on-line data (reading times) revealed that semantic priming affects participants’ attachment preferences, which suggests that their parsing preferences are not guided purely by syntactic information. The findings are in line with constraint-based models of sentence parsing, which assume that, during parsing, multiple sources of information interact and each of them constrains the interpretation in a particular way. The results also support the predictions of the Spreading Activation Model and Lexical Priming Theory.

چکیده [English]
پژوهشِ حاضر، به بررسی نقش تداعیِ معنایی در پردازش جمله‌های مبهمِ دربردارندة بندهای موصولی که گویشوران فارسی قبل از آن یک گروه اسمی مرکب مبهم به کار می‌برند، پرداخته است. به این منظور، در یک تکلیف خواندن خودآموز با استفاده از نرم افزار ای. پرایم، 63 گویشور فارسی، جمله‌های دربردارندة بندهای موصولی مبهم در زبان اولشان یعنی فارسی را خواندند. نوع رابطه معنایی در این پژوهش، از نوع رابطة بین بند موصولی و یکی از گروه‌های اسمی مرکب بود تا کشف شود آیا تداعیِ گروه‌های اسمی از طریق این آزمایش معنایی، اولویت‌های الحاقی گویشوران فارسی را متأثر می‌کند. یافته‌های تفسیری پست‌های آفلاین (اولویت‌های الحاقی بندهای موصولی) و داده‌های برخط (مدت‌زمان‌های خواندن) نشان داد که تداعی معنایی، اولویت‌های الحاقی شرکت‌کنندگان را متأثر می‌سازد که بدین معناست که اولویت‌های تجزیه آن‌ها فقط به وسیلة اطلاعات نحوی هدایت نمی‌شوند. این یافته‌ها همسو با مدل‌های محدودیت-بنیاد تجزیه جمله‌ها است که در این مدل ها تصور بر آن است که در هنگام تجزیه جمله‌ها، چندین منبع اطلاعاتی با یک‌دیگر تعامل دارند و هر یک از آن‌ها تفسیر را به روش خاصی محدود می‌سازد. همچنین، یافته‌ها پیش‌بینی‌های مدل فعال‌سازی گسترشی و نظریة تجزیه واژگانی را پشتیبانی می‌کند.
