This post-doctoral internship study will explore how the variation of the forms of fixed compounds affects the processing of such compounds. Fixed expressions are word sequences often used together and generally accepted and well-established as phrases, such as: shoot ravens to influence. One of the distinctive features of such compounds is what they are perceived and processed faster than the newly created, unsteady use phrases. They are treated more quickly by people who speak both their mother tongue and their foreign language. However, there is still a lack of agreement on what results in this faster treatment effect: whether because these compounds are stored in the mental lexicon as units, or because the connections between the elements of such compounds are activated faster. If the fixed expressions are not retained in the mental lexicon as units, then their form could vary without loss of phrase. In Texts, the form of fixed compound words varies frequently: the order of words changes (allow time — time to spend), the compounds can be non-continuous (allow time, spend all their time), they vary morphologically (allow time and time). To date, only non-continuous fixed compounds have been studied (e.g. Molinaro, etc., 2013; Vilkaitė, 2016). This post-doctoral internship project will explore the remaining two types of variants: 1) a variation in the order of words (allow time and time to spend) and 2) a morphological variation (rural: spending time and spending time; and construction: spend time and time permission). Two psycholinguistic reaction time experiments will be conducted. Lithuanians and English (birth-speakers and students) will participate. The aim of the studies will be to answer the questions as to how much a fixed compound may change, so that the compound still retains its phrase and is perceived more quickly. The planned results will allow a clearer understanding of how the lexical units are stored in the mental lexicon. (English) | |||||||||||||||

Šis podoktorantūrinės stažuotės tyrimas gilinsis į tai, kaip pastoviųjų junginių formų variacija veikia tokių junginių apdorojimą. Pastovieji žodžių junginiai yra žodžių sekos, dažnai vartojamos drauge ir visuotinai priimtos bei nusistovėjusios kaip frazės, pavyzdžiui: šaudyti varnas, daryti įtaką. Vienas iš tokių junginių skiriamųjų bruožų yra tas, kas jie yra suvokiami ir apdorojami greičiau nei naujai sukurtos, nenusistovėjusios vartosenos frazės. Greičiau juos apdoroja ir gimtąja, ir užsienio kalba kalbantys žmonės. Tačiau dar vis ne iki galo sutariama, dėl ko atsiranda šis greitesnio apdorojimo efektas: ar dėl to, kad šie junginiai išsaugomi mentaliniame leksikone kaip vienetai, ar dėl to, kad jungtys tarp tokių junginių elementų aktyvuojamos greičiau. Jei pastovieji žodžių junginiai nėra išsaugomi mentaliniame leksikone kaip vienetai, tuomet jų forma galėtų varijuoti junginiui neprarandant fraziškumo. Tekstynuose pastoviųjų junginių žodžių forma varijuoja dažnai: keičiasi žodžių tvarka (leisti laiką – laiką leisti), junginiai gali būti neištisiniai (leisti laiką, leisti visą savo laiką), jie varijuoti morfologiškai (leisti laiką ir leisdavo laiką). Iki šiol tirti tik neištisiniai pastovieji junginiai (pvz., Molinaro ir kt., 2013; Vilkaitė, 2016). Šis podoktorantūrinės stažuotės projektas gilinsis į likusius du variantiškumo tipus: 1) žodžių tvarkos variaciją (leisti laiką ir laiką leisti) ir 2) morfologinę variaciją (kaitybinę: leisti laiką ir leisdavo laiką; ir darybinę: leisti laiką ir laiko leidimas). Bus atlikti du psicholingvistiniai reakcijos laiko eksperimentai. Juose dalyvaus lietuviai ir anglai (gimtakalbiai ir mokiniai). Tyrimų tikslas bus atsakyti į klausimus, kiek gali keistis pastoviojo junginio forma, kad junginys vis dar išlaikytų savo fraziškumą ir būtų suvokiamas greičiau. Planuojami rezultatai leis aiškiau suvokti, kaip leksiniai vienetai saugomi mentaliniame leksikone. (Lithuanian)
