国外语块实证研究20年:回顾与展望

An Empirical Study of Formulaic Sequences Conducted Abroad within the Last 20 Years: Retrospect and Prospect

通过梳理1993-2013年间发表在国外SSCI期刊上有关语块的实证论文,本文探讨语块相关实证研究的研究主题以及研究范式。国外语块实证研究主要围绕语块的表征与加工、影响语块习得的学习者内、外部因素以及语块习得对语言能力的影响等领域展开,并已取得丰硕的成果。语块实证研究的研究方法以定量研究为主,定性研究为辅;语料库分析法占主导地位,心理语言学的研究范式呈上升趋势。本文还对今后语块实证研究有待深入挖掘的问题进行剖析。

Through reviewing the empirical studies related to formulaic sequences published in SSCI journals between 1993 and 2013,this article unveils the foci and paradigms of the present research,and points out the areas which leave room for improvement. Characterized by the use of mainly quantitative research methods,especially the predominant use of corpus-based analysis and the increasing use of psycholinguistic experiments,previous studies have achieved impressive results centering around the representation and processing of formulaic language,the learner＇s internal and external factors influencing his / her acquisition as well as the effect of formulaic language on linguistic competence.
