摘要
认知语言学研究表明，成人和儿童对长距离疑问句的可接受性判断结果都呈现出原型效应：原型问句的可接受程度显著优于非原型问句。本研究将原型效应推及到成人二语习得，并认为二语语法中的长距离疑问句具有典型成员，而其他变体句都是通过与原型类比后延伸出来的句式。本文在原型理论基础上，对中国英语学〉--j者长距离疑问句的习得开展研究。通过选用原型度不同的四类测试句进行实验，结果发现学习者很有可能以距离原型句的相似度来确定各种变体句的可接受性。同时，就长距离疑问句的各种变体句在二语语法中的可接受性而言，原型效应的确存在，但还有其他因素也影响着二语学习者对原型度较低、甚至完全不合法的长距离问句可接受程度的判断。
Research from Cognitive Linguistics reveals that prototypicality effect has been found in the acceptability judgment of English long-distance questions(LDQs) by adults and children alike.The accuracy rate for prototypical LDQs is greater than that for non-prototypical LDQs.This study extends the prototypicality effect to the research on adults' second language acquisition and holds that there exists prototypical LDQs in second language grammars,and other variants are analogical extensions from the prototypical template.Results from the empirical study show that second language learners are very likely to make acceptability judgment of English LDQs by analogy:acceptability of the variants of LDQs is based on the extent of their resemblance to the prototypical template.
