模因论视角下英语专业学生在写作中的语言迁移研究

Study of Language Transfer in English Writing for English Majors From the Perspective of Memetics

基于模因论视角,分析英语专业学生在英语写作中的语言迁移特点并解释这些语言迁移现象。根据模因论的观点,母语和英语的模因相似时,二者可以兼容,促进英语的学习。相反,当原有的模因和新模因不同时,原有模因在竞争中就会占优势,学生在英语学习中复制和传播了原有模因,就会出现语言学习的负迁移。研究结果为基于模因的特点促进二语习得提供了可能。

From the perspective of memetics, the characteristics of language transfer in English writing for English majors have been analyzed and explained in the paper. According to memetics, the meme of native language and English can be compatible and thus promote English learning when they are similar, while when they are different, the original meme will dominate in the competition which results in the negative language transfer. The result may help to improve second language acquisition based on the characteristics of memes.
