母语与三语双语境下二语磨蚀研究

A Study of L2 Attrition in the Bi-Context of L1 and L3

以三语专业的习得者(同一母语和同一二语)为研究对象,以基本情况问卷、语言水平测试试卷为研究工具,测量不同语种的三语习得者在半年不接受二语正规课堂以及课外学习训练的情况下,二语总水平、分范畴语言水平的受蚀情况,以探讨母语(L1)与三语(L3)双语境下二语(L2)的磨蚀情况。研究结果表明:L1与L3双语境下,L2语言总水平磨蚀严重;L2不同范畴语言能力受蚀程度不一;不同L3对L2的磨蚀力大小与二者家族关系亲密度相关,呈"︿字形"。

This study investigates into the concrete aspects of the second language（ L2） attrition in the bi- context of the mother tongue（ L1） and the third language（ L3）. The subjects are L3- major college students in China with the same L1（ Chinese） and L2（ English）. The results of their overall L2 proficiency attrition and L2 proficiency attrition in different categories after half a year＇s zero formal training of L2 taken from the instruments of questionnaires and language proficiency tests show： in the bi- context of L1 and L3,the overall proficiency of L2 has undergone serious attrition; L2 abilities of different categories suffer in various degrees（ listening suffers the most,writing the second,vocabulary and grammar the third,reading the least）; the attrition power of L3 on L2 is highly relevant to the family intimacy of L2 and L3 in the shape of ＂︿＂.
