不同英语水平学习者英语派生词和屈折词记忆加工差异

Intermediate and Advanced English Learners' Free Recall of English Derived and Inflectional Words

中等水平和高级水平英语学习者对以视觉、听觉和视听觉混合方式呈现的派生词和规则变化屈折词的自由回忆成绩表明,他们对这两种多词素词的识别加工存在词素自动分解过程,但比较而言对屈折词的分解加工倾向更大一些。和中等水平学习者相比,高级水平学习者发展有更强的屈折词或派生词构词意识。

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of English proficiency on the recall of morphologically complex words. A group of Chinese- English bilinguals were assessed on their English proficiency,and exposed to a list of inflected,derived and mono-morphemic words in three forms（ i. e.,visual,oral and a combination of visual and oral）. Accuracy of recall results showed that mono-morphemic words were recalled best,followed by derived and inflected words,which indicated that the participants seemed able to decompose morphologically complex words in the task and were more likely to do so for the inflectional than for the derived words. Furthermore,the advanced learners had a stronger awareness of word structure for the morphologically complex words than the intermediate learners.
