“在+处所”行为构式及动词二语习得研究

The SLA of“zai+location”Action Constructions and Verbs by Native English

“在+处所(L)”行为构式有“在L VP”和“VP在L”两类。前者凸显特定处所中动作事件的发生,后者凸显特定处所中动作事件的完成。两类构式对动词准入有句法语义限制。本研究通过图文匹配和语法可接受度判断测试任务,调查英语背景汉语学习者“在+处所”行为构式的中介语特征。不同水平二语者理解“在L VP”构式义的程度优于“VP在L”,对两类构式中动词准入判断也存在显著差异。输入频率是影响“在+处所”行为构式及动词习得效果的重要因素。

The“zai L VP”constructions specify the general location at which events of action occur,and the“VP zai L”constructions specify the location at which events of action completed as a result of the displacement.There are certain semantic constraints on the verbs that can occur in these two types of construction.By means of the picture judgment task and the grammaticality acceptability task,the study investigates the acquisition of the“zai+location”constructions and verbs by English speakers.It finds that asymmetry can be seen on the comprehension of the meaning of two types of construction,and there is also significant difference on judgment results of between preverbs and the postverbs.This paper attempts to show that the frequency has a crucial influence on the acquisition of“zai+location”action constructions and verbs.
