中国大学生英语口语产出中的自我修正现象及其心理语言学机制

Self-repairs in Chinese undergraduates' oral English production and their psycholinguistic mechanism

本研究通过图片描述任务,分析了40名中国大学生英语口语产出中179处自我修正现象。结果发现:各类修正现象的频数有显著差异,按照出现的频数由高到低排列,其层级为词汇修正>形态修正>句法修正>语音修正。按照它们的正确率由高到低排列,其层级为语音修正>形态修正>词汇修正>句法修正,其中词汇修正和形态修正的正确率显著高于其错误率。最后,根据二语产出的动态心理语言学模型,本研究解释了各类自我修正现象产生的心理语言学机制。

This study analyzed 179 tokens of self-repairs in the oral English narratives,which were elicited through a picture-description task from 40 Chinese undergraduates.It was found that four repair types were significantly distributed following the hierarchy of lexical repairs>morphological repairs>syntactic repairs>phonetic repairs.Their accuracy rates were ranked according to the hierarchy of phonetic repairs>morphological repairs>lexical repairs>syntactic repairs.Besides,the accuracy rates of lexical and morphological repairs were significantly higher than their error rates.Finally,the psycholinguistic mechanism behind these four types of repairs were discussed by recourse to the dynamic psycholinguistic model of L2 production.
