第二语言习得中的“意义协商”研究述评

A Review of Studies on “Negotiation of Meaning” in Second Language Acquisition

随着互动假说的出现,意义协商理论引起了全世界第二语言习得研究者的关注,对意义协商理论与意义协商相关的研究在国内外相继成为热点。本文以英语、西班牙语、波兰语、汉语四种语言中的相关文献为研究对象,对第二语言习得中"意义协商"的研究进行述评。文章首先从Long提出的互动理论和意义协商理论入手,梳理阐释了意义协商理论的研究进程与意义协商相关模型;其次对国外意义协商与课堂教学、任务、电脑媒介等的关系进行了综合述评;再次对国内以英语、汉语作为第二语言习得中的意义协商相关研究分别进行了阐述。研究表明,意义协商的理论研究在中国国内尚有很大发展空间,汉语二语习得中的意义协商研究则需要引起更多关注。

With the appearance of interaction hypothesis, the theory of negotiation of meaning （ NoM） started to draw attention of second language acquisition researchers across the world. Therefore, NoM＇s theo-retical and correlative studies have become a hot topic both within and outside China. This paper takes Chi-nese, Spanish, Polish and English literature survey as the research object and reviews the studies on NoM in second language acquisition. Firstly, it starts from Long＇ interaction hypothesis and the theory of NoM, and e-laborates the latter’s relevant research process and models. Secondly, it conducts a comprehensive review of the relation between the foreign NoM and the classroom teaching, task, computer-mediated interaction, etc. Finally, it expounds the domestic research work related to NoM in English and Chinese as a second language. It is shown that the studies on the theory of NoM have a huge development space in China and NoM of the Chi-nese second language acquisition needs noting further.
