外语磨蚀的回归性:基于V-ing的实证研究

Regression of foreign language attrition: An empirical study based on V-ing

基于语言磨蚀回归性研究文献的系统梳理,本文以母语为汉语的142名中国英语学习者为研究对象,应用"V-ing磨蚀测量量表",验证了V-ing磨蚀的回归性,并得出了如下基本结论:(1)V-ing的磨蚀符合雅柯布逊假设的预期,即其磨蚀具有明显的回归性,表现为先习得的后磨蚀。(2)基于V-ing在句子中所处的句法地位,可从理论层面上较好地阐释其磨蚀的回归性。

By systematically reviewing the previous studies on the regression of foreign language attrition,this paper employed ' An Inventory Measuring V-ing Attrition' to testify the regression of V-ing attrition among 142 Chinese college graduates. The following conclusions were obtained:( 1) V-ing regresses with time in attrition,as predicted by Jakobson's Regression Hypothesis, ' first learned,last out'; and( 2) the regression of V-ing attrition could be theoretically justified in terms of the syntactic status of V-ing in a sentence.
