低水平外语学习者的二语语言内句法启动

Syntactic Priming of Second Language on Low-Proficiency Foreign Learners

通过图片描述法,对低水平外语学习者进行二语语言内句法启动实验。实验结果表明,低水平外语学习者倾向于选择与启动句型一致的句式结构。实验证实了L2句法表征的独立性,低水平的二语习得者具备抽象的L2句法概念和句法表征知识。

Patterned on Bock’s syntactic priming paradigm in 1986,experiment was designed to test on low proficiency L2 learners in order to find out whether they have built L2 syntactic representation or not.The findings show that,low proficiency L2 learners tend to choose the syntactic forms which are identical with the priming sentences.It testifies the independence of syntactic representation and reveals that L2 learners can have the abstractness of syntactic knowledge even with low L2 proficiency.
