书面语句子产出中英语二语双宾结构的句法表征

The Syntactic Representation of English L2 Double-Object in Written Sentence Production

本文通过同盟者脚本句法启动实验,研究了中国学习者书面语句子产出中英语双宾结构的句法表征。实验发现,句法表征受二语水平和动词重复的影响:1)在句法结构选择中,仅高水平学习者产生了抽象句法启动效应和词汇增强效应;2)在句子产出潜伏期中,仅低水平学习者在动词相同且句法启动下缩短了目标句的产出潜伏期。上述结果表明:随二语水平的提升,句法表征由词汇-句法表征向抽象句法表征逐步发展,动词重复对句法表征的作用由缩短句子产出潜伏期到促进句法结构选择。据此,我们提出了中国学习者英语二语双宾结构的句法表征模型:二语词汇-句法表征和抽象句法表征相继形成,动词重复可促进句法表征的结构选择、缩短句子产出潜伏期。

This study investigated the syntactic representation(SR)of double-object in written sentences produced by English L2 learners of Chinese with the confederate-scripting task and syntactic priming paradigm.The results showed that SR was influenced by both L2 proficiency and repeated-verbs.Specifically,only highly proficient learners exhibited a significant abstract syntactic priming effect and a lexical-boost effect in their syntactic choices(SC).In contrast,less proficient learners shortened the sentence production onset latencies(SPOL)when both repeated-verbs and syntactic priming were present.These findings indicate a developmental progression from lexical SR to abstract SR,as well as from reducing SPOL to increasing SC in repeated-verbs scenarios,as L2 proficiency improves.Furthermore,the study proposes an SR model of double-object for English L2 learners of Chinese,which suggests that L2 lexical SR and abstract SR are successively formed,and that repeated-verbs can facilitate SC and shorten SPOL.
