首、尾语素频率对中级印尼汉语学习者复合词识别的影响

The Effect of Morpheme Frequency on Chinese Compound Word Recognition——Evidences From Intermediate Indonesian-Chinese Learners

通过词汇判断任务,探讨语素频率对中级印尼汉语学习者复合词识别的影响。研究结果发现,语素频率影响中级印尼汉语学习者复合词的识别。同时,语素频率对词汇识别的影响受到语素位置的调节。当语素为复合词的首语素时,语素频率高,词汇判断的正确率高;语素频率低,词汇判断的正确率低。当语素为复合词的尾语素时,语素频率对词汇判断正确率的影响受到首语素频率的限制。只有当首语素的频率高时,尾语素的频率才会影响词汇判断的正确率。当首语素的频率低时,尾语素的频率不影响词汇判断的正确率。研究结果支持中级印尼汉语学习者在复合词的表征中产生了语素表征,而且首语素的频率在复合词识别中发挥更重要的作用。

The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of morpheme frequency on compound word recognition for intermediate Indonesian-Chinese learners by using a word decision task. The study found that morpheme frequency affected Chinese compound word recognition for intermediate Indonesian-Chinese learners. In addition, the morpheme frequency effect was modulated by the position of morpheme. High frequency of initial morpheme gave rise to higher word decision accuracy than low frequency. The effect of final morpheme frequency on word recognition was modulated by the frequency of the initial morpheme. Final morpheme frequency affected word recognition only when the initial morpheme frequency was high. No significant effect was found when the initial morpheme frequency was low. The results supported that intermediate non-native Chinese learners have established morphemic representation with vocabulary development, and the frequency of initial morpheme played a more important role in Chinese compound word recognition than final morpheme.
