英语反身代词除了例外的回指语外只允许短距离约束,而汉语和韩语反身代词既可以是短距离约束,也可以是长距离约束。本研究以中国人和韩国人为被试,考察了第三语言韩国语对第二语言英语在解释反身约束时的跨语言影响。30名中-英(CE),20名韩-英(KE),23名中-英-韩(CEK)的参与者完成了英语水平测试和真值判断任务(TVJT)。水平测试结果表明,KE得分显著高于CE和CEK,而后两者具有可比性。然而,虽然TVJT的平均得分显示了轻微的显着差异,事后比较显示KE得分显着高于CE,但不高于CEK。CEK在数值上高于CE,但不显著。研究结果反映了Ahn & Jang(2019)的模式,即第三语言似乎在第二语言习得中发挥着更强大的作用。在TVJT之间的变化CE和CEK是不太可能引入的L1或L2的熟练程度。与外语效应模型相一致,当一个特定的特征在两种语言中不常见时,第二语言可能会改变以反映第三语言中的模式。
English reflexives allow only for short-distance binding except for exempt anaphors, while Chinese and Korean reflexives can be both short- and long-distance bound. This study examines the cross-linguistic influence of L3 Korean on L2 English in the interpretation of reflexive bindings with Chinese and Korean participants. 30 Chinese-English (CE), 20 Korean-English (KE), and 23 Chinese-English-Korean (CEK) participants completed an English proficiency test and a Truth Value Judgment Task (TVJT). The results of proficiency test showed KE scored significantly higher than CE and CEK, while the latter two were comparable. Nevertheless, although the mean scores of TVJT revealed marginally significant variance, Post-hoc comparisons showed KE scored significantly higher than CE, but not than CEK. CEK displayed numerically higher score than CE, though not significantly. The findings mirrored the pattern in Ahn & Jang (2019) in that L3 seemed to play a more robust role in L2 acquisition. The variation in TVJT between CE and CEK was unlikely to be introduced by either L1or L2 proficiency. Aligning with the Foreign Language Effect Model, L2 may be changed to reflect patterns in L3 when a specific feature was not common for both languages.
