German is exceptional in its use of noun capitalisation. It has been suggested that sentence-internal capitalisation as in German may benefit processing by specifically marking a noun and thus a noun phrase (NP). However, other cues, such as a determiner, can also indicate an NP. The influence of capitalisation on processing may thus be context-dependent, that is, dependent on other cues. Precisely this context dependency is investigated in the current study: Is there an effect of capitalisation on reading and is this affected by the presence of other cues such as a determiner (specifically, an article)?

大写和冠词存在对德语名词短语识别的影响：来自眼动追踪的证据

德语在名词大写的使用方面非常出色。有人建议，德语中的句子内部大写可能有利于通过专门标记名词以及名词短语（NP）来进行处理。然而，其他线索，例如限定词，也可以指示 NP。因此，大写对处理的影响可能是依赖于上下文的，即依赖于其他线索。当前的研究正是对这种上下文依赖性进行了调查：大写对阅读是否有影响？这是否受到其他线索（例如限定词（具体来说，一篇文章））的存在的影响？
