第二语言获得年龄与早晚期双语记忆的差异

Age of Second Language Acquisition and Differences between Early and Late Bilinguals

当前研究者对第二语言获得年龄所引发的早晚期双语记忆系统的差异问题展开了热烈的讨论。文章从早晚期双语记忆系统是否存在差异、差异在何处及差异的理论解释三个方面对当前的研究进行了系统的梳理。未来研究应深入探讨差异的发生机制,并注意研究方法的相互补充。

There are some debates about the issue of differences between early bilinguals and late bilinguals. The present paper discusses these debates from three aspects： whether there are differences between early and late bilinguals？ where are those differences？ and how to interpret these differences？ Therefore the future research should investigate the mechanism of differences by using various methods.
