二语朗读研究的方法论

A Methodology for Research on L2 Read Speech

为了使二语朗读研究纳入严谨的方法论的指导,本文在当代语言学和认知科学框架内探讨了二语朗读研究的理论立场,认知心理过程和音系学分析框架,并指出,二语朗读研究应重视音系表征和其语音实现之间的中介因素,即在线产出管理的作用。与其他音系学理论相比,优选论是进行二语朗读研究的优选项。从二语朗读研究的理论建设的高度出发,未来的二语朗读研究可着重研究表现因素和在线产出管理对制约条件的域值或制约条件排列的影响,其前提条件是对本文提出的二语朗读的在线产出管理的概念模型进行实证检验。

Within the landscape of contemporary cognitive science and linguistics, the present paper tries to establish the theoretical position, as well as a cognitive-psychological model, and a phonological framework for research on L2 read speech. It is argued that emphasis should be placed upon the mediating effect of on-line management between phonological representation and its phonetic realization. Compared with other phonological theories, Optimality Theory poses itself as the optimal candidate for L2 speech research. To enhance theory building in research on L2 read speech, future research may explore how performance factors and on-line management affect the deciding of range value for constraints and how they affect the ranking of constraints, on the basis of validating the conceptual model of on-line management.
