The paper investigates the interaction of lexical and constructional meaning in valency coercion processing, and the effect of (in)compatibility between verb and construction for its successful resolution (Perek, Florent & Martin Hilpert. 2014. Constructional tolerance: Cross-linguistic differences in the acceptability of non-conventional uses of constructions. Constructions and Frames 6(2). 266–304; Yoon, Soyeon. 2019. Coercion and language change: A usage-based approach. Linguistic Research 36(1). 111–139). We present an online experiment on valency coercion (the first one on Italian), by means of a semantic priming protocol inspired by Johnson, Matt A. & Adele E. Goldberg. 2013. Evidence for automatic accessing of constructional meaning: Jabberwocky sentences prime associated verbs. Language & Cognitive Processes 28(10). 1439–1452. We test priming effects with a lexical decision task which presents different target verbs preceded by coercion instances of four Italian argument structure constructions, which serve as primes. Three types of verbs serve as target: lexical associate (LA), construction associate (CA), and unrelated (U) verbs. LAs are semantically similar to the main verb of the prime sentence, whereas CAs are prototypical verbs associated to the prime construction. U verbs serve as a mean of comparison for the two categories of interest. Results confirm that processing of valency coercion requires an integration of both lexical and constructional semantics. Moreover, compatibility is also found to influence coercion resolution. Specifically, constructional priming is primary and independent from compatibility. A secondary priming effect for LA verbs is also found, which suggests a contribution of lexical semantics in coercion resolution – especially for low-compatibility coercion coinages.

构造关联在处理价强制中胜过词汇关联

本文研究了价态强制处理中词汇和构造意义的相互作用，以及动词与构造之间的（相容性）兼容性对其成功解决的影响（Perek，Florent和Martin Hilpert。2014。构造容忍：语言中的跨语言差异）。非常规用途的构造的可接受性。构造和框架6（2）。266-304; Yoon，Soyeon。2019.强制和语言变更：基于使用的方法。语言学研究36（1）。111-139）。我们通过受约翰逊（Johnson），马特（Matt A.）和阿黛尔（Adele E. Goldberg）启发的语义启动协议，提出了一个关于价强制的在线实验（意大利语中的第一个）。2013。自动获取构造意义的证据：Jabberwocky句子是主要的相关动词。语言与认知过程28（10）。1439–1452。我们使用词法决策任务测试启动效果，该词法决策任务先呈现不同的目标动词，再以四个意大利自变量结构构造的强制实例作为质数。三种类型的动词用作目标动词：词汇联想（LA），构造联想（CA）和无关（U）动词。LA在语义上与主要句子的主要动词相似，而CA是与主要结构相关的原型动词。U动词可作为比较两种兴趣类别的手段。结果证实，价态强制的处理需要词汇语义和构造语义的整合。此外，还发现兼容性会影响强制分辨率。具体而言，构造启动是主要的，并且与兼容性无关。还发现了LA动词的次要启动效果，
