| Abstract(in English) | In the present study,m we investigated how much the mora length would contribute to the silent readings of Japanese sentences in an eye-movement experiment. The target words were nouns weitten in two-Kanji characters that were either2, 3, 4 or 5 moras long phonologically. The word familiarity and diffeculty of Kanji characters were controlled. Psositon of the target words withiin a sentence was counterbalanced. Subjects read a text that was presented in four lines on a screen. Each line of the text contained a sentence with a target word. Twelve Japanese adults read 24 texts. The results of multiple regression analyses showed that the mora length of the target word made a significant contribution the the gaze-duration of the target word, as well as of the ensuing phrase. The results showed that the phonological length of words, even after controlling for other factors, has an impact on reading Japanese sentences. The results of the present study provide evidence in support of the claim that phonological and prosodic properties of a sentence strongly affect the processing of that sentence even when it is read silently. |
