句法和语义在留学生汉语简单句理解中的作用

The Syntactic and Semantic Influences on Simple Sentence Comprehension in Chinese for the Intermediate Foreign Students

采用实验方法探讨了句法和语义在中级水平留学生汉语简单句加工中的作用特点。包括两个实验。实验1采用语法判断任务,发现句法作用是主要的;实验2采用施事判断任务,发现句法作用与语义可逆性的作用都很显著;两个实验都发现句法与语义可逆性之间的交互作用不显著。研究结果初步表明,句法因素在中级水平留学生汉语简单句理解的过程中起重要作用,句法分析是一个可以独立于语义的自主加工过程,本研究结果支持句法自主理论。

This study explored the effects of syntactic cues and semantic cues on simple sentence comprehension in Chinese for the intermediate foreign students.Using a grammatical judgment task,Experiment 1 showed that syntactic factor had strong influence on sentence processing.Using an agent judgment task,Experiment 2 showed that both syntactic and semantic cues played important roles in the processing of Chinese.Furthermore,no interaction between syntactic and semantic factors was found.These results showed that syntactic cue was the dominant factor in sentence processing and syntactic analysis is an autonomous process independent of semantic influence.
