英语程式语心理表征模式研究

On Mental Representation Mode of English Formulaic Utterances

文章考察中国英语学习者对程式语的心理表征模式。学习者完成自定步速逐词阅读和逐句阅读两项实验。根据总体英语水平,将学习者分为中等水平和高水平两组受试。研究采用2×2混合实验设计。结果表明:①高水平组以整体形式表征程式语,中等水平组既以整体形式又以分析性形式表征程式语;②程式语结构的完整性没有影响两组被试对程式语的心理表征模式。文章在实验结果的基础上,提出了中国英语学习者对程式语的心理加工与表征模型。

A study has been done on Chinese English learners mental representation mode of English formulaic utterances.
