Abstract 摘要
Cross-linguistic corpora of speech errors in Dutch, English, German, and Mandarin are examined for evidence regarding the cognitive knowledge of Mandarin speakers in terms of representation and processes of their phonology and mechanisms in language processing. Corpus analysis in Mandarin slips shows that the speech mechanisms in relation to types of errors and classification are universal, whereas the causes of error are language-specific. Evidence from Mandarin slips confirms a number of systematic patterns found in Germanic languages in which the majority of speech errors are phonological errors, substitution errors occur more frequently than addition and omission errors, the source unit that influences the production of the target unit usually occurs within the context of the utterance, and the distance between them generally does not exceed seven syllables. The discrepancy between Mandarin and Germanic languages shows up most clearly in the treatment of directionality of errors. Evidence from Mandarin slips shows that perseverative errors occur more frequently than anticipatory errors in both segmental and tone errors. Issues as to whether such lapses provide evidence regarding the cognitive processes involved in speaking will be suggested. This study aims to show the value of speech-error evidence for use in comparison with cross-linguistic findings, and how such findings are incorporated in phonological constructs and psycholinguistic models of speech production planning

本研究旨在利用汉语、荷兰语、英语及德语等跨语言语误语料库探讨汉语使用者在心理底层层面及处理历程认知结构与其它西方语言之异同比较。本文发现由语误分类的概况及语言单位的分布情形来看,语言机制显示出一致的通用性,然而语误的来源结构却反映出汉语语言本身的独特性。特别值得一提的是在西方语言语误的同化方向性通常是由右至左的逆向同化较为普遍,而本文则发现,汉语语误较倾向于由左至右的顺向同化。由汉语语误语料的分布排列情形可推演出音韵基本结构及心理语言处理历程。
