国内近十年三语习得研究述评

A Review on Domestic Studies of Third Language Acquisition in the Past Decade

国内语言习得研究多关注二语习得的研究,对于三语习得的研究相对比较匮乏。本文借助中国知网的计量可视化分析手段,对国内近十年关于三语习得的研究进行述评。研究发现:(1)在搜索的4类期刊中,近十年关于三语习得的论文总共54篇,反映国内对于三语习得研究的巨大发展空间;(2)研究主题过于泛化,需要深入聚焦;(3)研究的目标群体聚集于藏族和维吾尔族学生,其他少数民族的三语习得应该引起重视。(4)这些论文的研究角度聚焦于学习者、语言迁移、语言距离、词汇句法以及二语对三语的影响研究,相对二语习得研究的多学科融合及认知神经心理学转向等方面明显滞后。希冀本研究引起国内学者对三语习得研究的重视,加大三语习得研究力度,扩大三语习得研究群体,并在研究主题上紧跟一语或二语习得研究的步伐,增加发文量;同时,此研究也能为三语教学工作者提供一定的理论指导和方法支持。

Compared with second language acquisition,third language acquisition is rather less studied in China.This paper,with the aid of the methods of Bibliometrics and Visualization in CNKI,makes a comprehensive summary about the last ten years’studies on third language acquisition.The results are:(1)The total number of articles is 54,which indicates we have a long way to develop third language acquisition research in China.(2)Although research topics are broad,the research did not go deeply.(3)The subjects are mainly from Tibetan nationality and Wei nationality,but other nationalities also deserve research.(4)They mainly focus on learners,language transfer,language distance,lexicon,syntax,and the influence of second language on third language,which is a little lagging behind to the multi-disciplinary and cognitive-neural turning in second language acquisition.It is hoped to draw more attention to third language acquisition to deepen its research,to broaden its subjects,to catch up with the second language research,and to increase its publishes;at the same time,it can provide theoretical guidance and methodological support to third language teaching.
