碩士 / 國立清華大學 / 臺灣語言研究與教學研究所 / 107 / In this study, to assess whether the preferred oral form, produced by each subject in off-line confrontation picture naming, is more easily processed, EEG was recorded while the subjects made the on-line picture-sound matching. Different tone-sandhi forms, used in two major Taiwanese subdialects, were manipulated to induce different responses shown in their event-related potentials. In addition to the two tone-sandhi conditions, there were two conditions irrelevant to tone-sandhi as fillers. The event-related stimuli consisted of four conditions in total.
Behavioral results in the on-line experiments showed a pretty high acceptance rate for either one of the two tone-sandhi varieties given the same picture. It is rarely revealed in their behaviors of off-line confrontation picture naming. Grouped by their preferred forms produced orally in off-line confrontation picture naming, 7 subjects tended to use subdialect A, and 15 subjects tended to use subdialect B. However, the preferred tone-sandhi condition didn’t elicit smaller N400 as predicted in each group. Furthermore, the results from source localization analyses of their event-related potentials also confirmed the N400 results.
The findings in this study that the preferred sandhi form, produced orally by each subject in off-line confrontation picture naming, was not unequivocally processed more easily than the other tone-sandhi form in on-line picture-sound matching, suggests a necessity to give a very careful consideration in delineating the boundaries of subdialects and trying to understand the mechanisms of dialectal amalgamations and merges.
