Abstract

Abstract: Two experiments were conducted to explore the inappropriate meanings inhibited in ambiguous word processing. Subjects were 128 students (Exp1 and 2) in Beijing University of Science and Technology, and Beijing Agriculture University, China. They were asked to verify whether the test word matched the meaning of the sentence they just read. The test words were present at interstimulus interval (ISI) 200ms and 800ms respectively. The results showed: (1) The inappropriate meanings of homographs and homophones can be inhibited to some extents. (2) At ISI 200ms subordinate (inappropriate) meanings of homophones were inhibited, but subordinate (inappropriate) meanings of homographs cannot be inhibited completely. (3) The main (inappropriate) meanings of homographs and homophones cannot be inhibited completely even if at ISI 800ms.

Key words: homograph, homophone, inhibition, inappropriate meaning
