摘要
本研究通过自定步速阅读任务,探究中国英语学习者对非宾格/非作格结构和非宾格内部不同子类(次核心/边缘非宾格结构)的在线加工情况。研究发现:1)中国英语学习者对非宾格结构的在线加工更慢且存在困难,既支持“非宾格假说”,也反映出“接口假说”中内接口的习得理论具有局限性。2)中国英语学习者对边缘非宾格结构的习得水平高于次核心非宾格结构,表明携带较强外部使因的动词更难习得,对“非宾格层级假说”的普适性提出挑战;中国英语学习者能更高效地加工不涉及句法移位的边缘非宾格结构,支持“接口假说”中单一语言模块更易习得的观点。
The present study investigates Chinese English learners’online processing of unaccusative/unergative constructions and subtypes(less core/peripheral)of unaccusative constructions through self-paced reading tasks.The results show that:1)Chinese English learners spend more time processing unaccusative constructions,which supports the Unaccusative Hypothesis on the one hand but reflects the limitations of the internal interface theory in the Interface Hypothesis of language acquisition on the other.2)Chinese English learners have a better acquisition of the peripheral unaccusative constructions than the less core unaccusative constructions,reflecting the larger problems of the acquisition of verbs with a stronger meaning of external causation,hence casting doubt on the Unaccusative Hierarchy Hypothesis;Chinese English learners can more effectively process peripheral unaccusative constructions which do not involve syntactic movement,lending support to the Interface Hypothesis that single language modules are easier to be acquired.
