藏族大学生基于词段循环域BE的习得研究

Study on Xizang College Students' BE Inter-language DevelopmentApproached from Word Phase

在微观形态理论视域下采用词段循环域作为工作假说,以形态-句法特征层级排序作为预测手段,通过诱导性书面产出任务作为测试工具,实施大规模横向性量化研究,分层抽样3组不同英语水平的124名西藏自治区高校英语习得者作为受试对象。旨在窥视处于中介语发展初始阶段的受试,在微观词段循环域上习得AGR功能语素异干互补词汇项AGR-are、AGR-is、AGR-am的发展规律。研究结果表明受制于句法-语义特征几何结构与形态-句法特征层级排序的标记性影响,受试在词段循环域上呈现出从普遍语法特征库的无标记性初始结构开始,依次完成内嵌节点较多、标记性较大的形态特征值排序性习得发展规律。受制于经济发展、师资力量等因素影响,西藏高校的英语习得者仍处于中介语发展初始阶段,能够反映出BE在中介语发展初始阶段的屈折化发展过程,为西部地区英语教学提供语言内部视角的理论指导。

In the framework of micro-morphological theory,cyclic word phase domain functioning as working hypothesis,combined with asymmetric markedness syntactic-morphological features as tools for predication,and elicited written task as testing tool,by large-scale cross-sectional experiment,the current study stratifies the sampling of 124 Xizang college students into three groups by their different English-proficiency,aims to pry into the inter-language development order of AGR functional morpheme by the late-insertion of suppletive vocabulary items AGR-are,AGR-is,AGR-am.The result of the study indicates that the subjects abide by the rule to start learning from the initial node of unmarked one,and then developed into the embedded marked nodes of Universal faculty inventory in the process of Inter-language development.For the limitation of teaching resources and economy,Xizang English learners are in the initial stage of inter-language development,which is able to reflect the inflectional process of BE.The current paper aims to provide inter-language theoretical guidance for the English teaching in the region in western China.
