二语心理词库组织模式发展的实证研究

An Empirical Study of the Organization of L2 Mental Lexicon

本研究采用词汇联想测试探索第二语言心理词库组织模式的发展规律。总的发展特征是大学英语专业高年级学生产出的语义联想词比低年级学生多。另外,学生在进行词汇联想和提取时有其母语语义系统的介入和干扰,二语心理词库的组织模式还不够合理。本文从词汇深度知识、克服母语语义系统的干扰和构建结构合理的心理词库等方面讨论了研究结果及对词汇教学的启示。

This study aims to explore the development of organization of L2 mental lexicon by a word association test. The general developmental pattern is that the subjects at higher learning stages produce more semantic associations than those at lower learning stages. The associations also evince the mediation and interference of L1 semantic system. The results and the implications are discussed in light of depth of vocabulary knowledge,the importance of overcoming the L1 semantic mediation and constructing a well-structured mental lexicon.
