不同二语水平学习者对日语形态复杂词的提取模式研究

Extraction Mode of Japanese Morphologically Complex Words by Chinese L2 Learners of Different Proficiency Levels

形态复杂词由多个词素构成,它们以整体形式还是组合形式提取始终存在争议。本研究采用视觉掩蔽启动范式下的词汇判别实验发现,中国日语学习者主要以词素分解模式提取复杂词,提取模式不受二语水平影响,但二语者的提取速度不及母语者。日语中形态复杂词的高规则性特征及词长信息、词缀位置等可能是造成词素分解的主要原因,而外语输入方式与教材内容编排等则是影响其稳定性的重要因素。

Morphologically complex words are composed of multiple morphemes.It still remains controversial whether complex words are extracted as whole units or the combination of constituents in the access of their mental lexicon.The present study used the masked visual lexical decision task to explore the Chinese learners’extraction of Japanese complex words.It was found that the learners extracted these words as the combination of their constituents,which indicated the use of decomposition mode in learners’extraction of Japanese complex words.The results also showed that the decomposition was independent of learners’L2 proficiency,but the leaners’extraction speed was lower than that of the native speakers.It is proposed that the morphological decomposition is mainly caused by the high regularity of Japanese morphology,as well as word length and position of affixes,while L2 learning experience(immersion or classroom instruction)and the arrangement of textbook content might influence its stability.
