母语及非母语者元语用测试的对比研究

A Contrastive Study of Metapragmatic Assessments by Native and Non-Native Speakers

本研究采用元语用测试及半结构化访谈的方式,探究了中国大学生及留学生对元语用问卷情景中社会变量,包括社会地位,熟悉程度和严重程度/难易程度的理解是否存在差异,并尝试对其存在做必要的解释。实验结果表明,两组受试者间存在显著差异并且该差异主要源于文化背景的不同。

By conducting metapragmatic assessments and semi-structured interviews, this study tries to investigate whether there is any difference on the perception of social variables like social status, familiarity and rank of imposition between native and non-native speakers and explore the reasons behind that. The results show that significant differences do exist and cultural factors account for most of the disparity.
