中国学生对英语关系从句的习得

TX The wh movement parameter of English relative clausesa study on the acquisition of English by Chinese speakers

本研究的目的，是探讨具有高级英语水平的中国学生，能否成功设定英语关系从句的移位参数。在研究中，我们对中、英、法三国学生进行判断测试。结果显示，中国学生由于（１）受母语干扰，（２）错误分析语料，以致未能设定英语的移位参数。

Abstract This paper reports the results of a study that aims to investigate whether Chinese speakers with advanced English proficiency are able to reset the wh movement parameter in their acquisition of English relative clauses. In the study, a grammaticality judgement test was conducted on Chinese, French and English speakers. Results show that Chinese speakers are not able to reset the wh movement parameter, and thus are not clear about the structure of English relative clauses. This is due to interference from the native language and misanalysis of language input.
