摘要：

近年来,二语语缺处理逐渐受到关注。本研究以两组不同语言水平的中国英语学习者和一组英语本族语者为受试,采用含有主语填充语缺的实验句进行在线阅读实验,考察主语填充效应在受试阅读过程中的心理现实性。结果显示,高分组二语学习者与英语本族语者一样,采用了句法语缺驱动的处理策略,阅读过程受到了主语填充效应影响;低分组二语学习者则采用不同的处理策略,没有经历主语填充效应。二语学习者的句法分析机制表现出一种随语言水平的提高而接近英语本族语者的趋势。

Abstract:

In recent years,second language sentence gap processing has attracted more attention in second language acquisition research.The present study investigates the psychological reality of "subject filled-gap effect" during the online reading of sentences that contain "subject filled gap" by two groups of Chinese learners of English and one group of native speakers of English.The results show that the high proficiency group of L2 learners behaved in a similar way as the native speaker group in that both groups adopted the syntactic-gap driven processing strategy and experienced the "subject filled-gap effect";the low proficiency group of L2 learners applied the lexical-semantic driven processing strategy without demonstrating the "subject filled-gap effect".It can be concluded from the results that the L2 learners' parsing mechanism develops towards that of the native speakers of English as their proficiency improves.
