中国英语学习者运动事件认知研究:来自眼动实验证据

Chinese EFL learners'motion event cognition:Evidence from eye-tracking experiments

本研究将眼动技术与启动范式和相似性判断任务结合,考察了中国英语学习者在不同条件下的运动事件认知方式并与汉、英本族语者比较,以探究二语学习者运动事件认知方式是否发生重构及其影响因素。结果发现学习者的认知方式发生了重构,且受到二语水平、语言激活条件、语种语境和内容语境的交互影响。基于研究结果提出运动事件双语认知模型,展示了双语认知变化机制。

Using the priming paradigm and the similarity judgment task combined with the eye-tracking technology,this study investigates Chinese EFL learners'motion event cognition under different conditions and compares it with that of native Chinese and English speakers.The aim is to explore whether the motion event cognition of L2 learners has been restructured and to identify the influencing factors.The results show that L2 learners'cognition has been restructured.L2 proficiency,whether language is activated or not,language context and content context have interaction effects on L2 learners'cognition.Based on the findings,a bilingual cognition model is proposed to show the changing mechanism of bilingual cognition.
