句法-篇章接口的L3习得实验研究

An Experimental Research into L3 Acquisition at the Syntax-Discourse Interface

  • 摘要: 接口假说对L2习得作出了具体预测,基于接口迟滞的原因这些预测也可延伸至L3领域。本文考察了话题化、焦点前置和左移位这三个英语句法-篇章接口结构的习得,通过双语受试(学习英语作为L3)在量表上判断包含或不含代词的语境测试句的接受度测试接口假说。实验结果质疑了当前流行的三个L3习得模型——L1因素、L2因素和CEM,支持了累积增强和累积抑制可能出现在L3习得进程中的论点。

     

    Abstract: The Interface Hypothesis has made specific predictions about L2 acquisition and such predictions can be extended to L3ers because of interface delay interpretations.The paper examines the acquisition of three English syntax-discourse interface constructions (Topicalization, Focus Fronting and Left Dislocation) through (bilinguals learning English as L3) evaluating the acceptability of embedded test sentences with and without pronouns in the context on a scale to test IH.Our data provide evidence against three current L3 acquisition models — L1 factor, L2 factor and CEM and argue for both cumulative enhancement and inhibition to possibly occur in the process of L3 acquisition.
