摘要
本文以两组不同水平的中国英语学习者为研究对象,通过在线语法判断实验,考察了语块频率、语块结构类型以及学习者英语水平对他们语块加工的影响。研究发现:1)中高水平和中低水平学习者的语块加工都具有频率效应,且该效应不仅存在于短语类语块的加工中,也存在于非短语类语块加工中;2)语块结构类型对不同水平组受试的影响不同,该因素对较低水平学习者的影响较大;3)总体上,相比中低水平组,中高水平组对不同类别语块的识别速度更快、错误率更低,但相比短语类语块,英语水平对学习者正确识别非短语语块能力的影响更大。本文研究发现可为基于使用的语言习得观提供实证支持证据,显现出语言学习经验在学习者语块心理表征与加工中的重要性。
By comparing the performance on a grammaticality judgment task among two groups of nonEnglish majors at two proficiency levels,this study investigates the effects of formulaic sequence frequency,structures and English proficiency on Chinese learners'processing of L2 formulaic sequences.The results show that 1)both higher and lower proficiency learners benefit from the processing advantage of high-frequency sequences,and this advantage can be observed not only for phrasal sequences,but for non-phrasal ones;2)the effect of formulaic structures on lower proficiency learners is higher than that on higher proficiency learners;3)higher proficiency learners generally perform better than lower proficiency learners on different types of L2 formulaic sequences(with lower error rate and faster speed),but the effect of L2 proficiency is more pronounced on the identification of non-phrasal sequences than on phrasal ones.Findings of the current study can provide empirical support for usage-based approaches to language acquisition,by demonstrating the importance of L2 learning experience in the processing and representation of L2 formulaic sequences.
