汉语二语学习者动名搭配认知理解层级研究

An Exploration of Second Language Learners’ Cognitive Comprehension Hierarchy of Chinese Verb-Noun Collocations

本文对汉语二语学习者动名搭配的认知处理层级进行了研究。从语言理解的角度提出了汉语动名搭配新分类,并对不同水平学习者各类搭配的认知处理情况进行了考察。实证结果表明,本文所提出的新分类具有较强的心理现实性,不同水平学习者对各类搭配的理解呈现出一个由易到难的层级。搭配类型和语言水平对学习者认知处理过程产生影响。学习者心理词典中图式的积累有助于降低工作记忆中的认知负荷,从而促进搭配的认知处理进程。

This article deals with the cognitive processing hierarchy of Chinese Verb-Noun collocations in CSL learners. A new classification of Verb-Noun collocations was made from a perspective of language comprehension. An empirical study was conducted based on the new classification. The results show that learners have an easy-to-difficult hierarchy on understanding different categories of collocations, and that language proficiency has an influence on the understanding of the collocation. Therefore, the accumulation of schema in the learner’s mental lexicon will help to reduce the cognitive load in working memory, thus promoting the cognitive processing of the relevant collocations.
