摘要
为了探讨三语对二语词汇识别的影响,本文以三语习得者为研究对象,以E—Prime作为研究工具,测量了不同语种的三语习得者在识别相同二语词汇时的正确率和反应时。根据所学三语语种,60名英语专业的学生被分为法语组和日语组。正确率和反应时的对比结果显示:目语组的正确率明显高于法语组(X2=154.15,P=0.000〈0.01),反应时明显小于法语组(MD=72.59,P=0.01〈0.05)。基于上述结果,可以得出如下基本结论:(1)从二语与三语的语言距离来看,语言距离越近,三语对二语的逆向影响越大;(2)从二语与三语的相对水平来看,即使处于较低水平的三语,也可能对处于较高水平的二语产生逆向影响。
This study aims to investigate the influence of acquiring a third language upon the recognition of second language words. Subjects acquiring different third languages are measured with E-Prime on the accuracy and response time in recognizing the same second language words. 60 English majors are divided into two groups based on the third language acquired:Group Acquiring French (GAF) and Group Acquiring Japanese (GAJ). The results indicated that GAJ scored higher in accuracy (X2 = 154.15 ,p =0.000 〈 0.01 ) and lower in response time( MD = 72.59,p =0.01 〈0.05) than conclusions were obtained: ( 1 ) GAF did. Thus, the following as far as the distance between a second and a third language is concerned, the nearer the language distance between a third and a second language is, the stronger inverse influence the third language might have upon the second language; (2) as for the relative proficiency of a second and a third language, the third language, even at a lower level, might have an inverse influence upon the second language at a higher level.
