语篇层面的因素,如事件结构和指称表达形式,在本族语者的指称加工中起着重要作用。本文通过一项实验,以日语和韩语为母语的英语学习者为被试,探讨了母语者语篇层面的偏误在多大程度上影响了二语者的共指选择。故事延续任务的结果表明,涉及指称形式的偏见是非常相似的L1和L2扬声器。与此相反,事件结构(由完成体和不完成体表示)对二语使用者指称选择的影响则较为有限。L2的结果进行了讨论,根据现有的帐户L1参考处理,假设参考选择的形状扬声器的不断更新的期望是什么可能被提到的下一个,并认为反映L2扬声器的依赖减少的期望。
Discourse-level factors, such as event structure and the form of referential expressions, play an important role in native speakers' referential processing. This paper presents an experiment with Japanese-and Korean-speaking learners of English, investigating the extent to which discourse-level biases that have gradient effects in L1 speakers are also implicated in L2 speakers' coreference choices. Results from a story continuation task indicate that biases involving referential form were remarkably similar for L1 and L2 speakers. In contrast, event structure, indicated by perfective versus imperfective aspect, had a more limited effect on L2 speakers' referential choices. The L2 results are discussed in light of existing accounts of L1 reference processing, which assume that referential choices are shaped by speakers' continually updated expectations about what is likely to be mentioned next, and argued to reflect L2 speakers' reduced reliance on expectations.
