基于CLEC语料库的僵化参数原因认知探索

A Cognitive Exploration of the Parameters Cause for Fossilization Based on the CLEC Corpus

以“完全迁移和完全可及假说”为前提、在乔姆斯基的“原则与参数”理论框架下、以语料库为基础尝试性地探讨了二语习得中僵化现象的理论性成因。通过对三类语言项目的理论分析和数据分析,作者认为L2输入的巩固度(和频率有关)低于第二类和第三语言项目的参数阈限值,导致新参数在与零痕迹和旧参数的竟争中失败,是导致僵化的主要原因。理论上的僵化总体趋势可能性从高到低为:参数的重置、参数的设置和参数的默认;而习得的可能性顺序刚好相反。CLEC语料库的数据在一定程度上证明了这一僵化理论性成因的可接受性。

Following the ＂The Full Transfer and Full Access Hypothesis＂, this paper attempts to investigate the cause for fossilization in SLA based on the CLEC corpus within the Principles and Parameters theoretical framework. Through analyzing the three types of interlanguage items, also with the support of statistical data from the CLEC corpus, the authors think it is the major cause for fessilization that the failure of new L2 parameters in competition with zero trace and old parameters resulted from lower degree of entrenchment （ involving frequency） in 1.2 than the required parameter threshold of herlanguage Item 2 and 3. It is thus predicted that the general tendency of fossilization may descend as parameter resetting, sotting and default; while the general tendency of acquisition may just go reversely. The statistical data from the CLEC corpus has,to great extent, positively confirmed the cause for fossilization proposed in this paper.
