摘要： 句子产出递增性理论存在结构递增模式与线性递增模式的理论分歧。本文采用图片事件描述任务，通过控制事件参与对象的题元层级和视觉显著度，对比考察德语母语者和母语为汉语的高水平德语二语者句子产出的递增加工模式。实验发现：1）题元层级主效应在母语和二语产出中均显著，说明母语者和二语者都采用结构递增模式计划句子；2）视觉显著度主效应在母语产出中显著，在二语产出中不显著，说明母语产出还呈现线性递增特征，而二语产出则严格遵循结构递增；3）母语与二语视觉注意分布主要在言语组织阶段存在差异，在概念化阶段无差异，说明母语者与高水平二语者在句子产出初期的加工方式趋同。本文基于德语句法特征和汉德语法差异，对上述发现进行了解释。

Abstract: Theories of incremental sentence production generally distinguish between the structural and the linear incrementality accounts. This paper reported an eye-tracking experiment in which L1 and L2 German speakers described depicted simple events, with thematic hierarchy and visual salience systematically manipulated. Linguistic and oculomotor results showed a main effect of thematic hierarchy in both groups, indicating that L1 and L2 speakers employ the structural incremental strategy to plan sentences. Besides, a main effect of visual salience was detected in L1 speakers, demonstrating that L1 sentence production also exhibits linear incremental features, whereas L2 production strictly follows the structural incremental mode. Furthermore, differences of spatial visual distribution were found between L1 and L2 speakers only in the formulation phase, but not in the conceptualization phase. This suggests that initial plannings of sentence production in L1 and L2 are similar. We discussed the findings based on the syntactic features of German and the syntactic differences between German and Chinese.
