本研究采用调整后的自定速度阅读范式，探讨德语一语和二语阅读中动词两个语法特征（次范畴化和规则性）的附带习得的初始阶段。结果表明，L1说话者在语法知识的附带习得方面上级L2说话者（关于次范畴化的实验），除非新知识干扰了先前获得的知识和机制（关于[ir]规律性的实验）：尽管两个群体在从输入中获得动词的次范畴化方面表现同样出色（即，无论动词是及物动词还是不及物动词），它们在新动词的规则性状态方面有所不同。与二语学习者相比，一语使用者似乎对不规则动词形式的变位不感兴趣。研究结果进一步表明，语境的句法复杂性和形态标记性对二语词汇的附带习得有积极影响，促使学习者将注意力从语篇层面转移到词汇层面。
The present study explores the initial stages of incidental acquisition of two grammatical properties of verbs (subcategorization and [ir]regularity) during reading in first language (L1) and second language (L2) German using an adjusted self-paced reading paradigm. The results indicate that L1 speakers are superior to L2 speakers in the incidental acquisition of grammatical knowledge (experiments on subcategorization), except when the new knowledge interferes with previously acquired knowledge and mechanisms (experiments on [ir]regularity): Although both populations performed equally well regarding the acquisition of the subcategorization of verbs from the input (i.e., whether the verbs are transitive or intransitive), they differed with respect to the regularity status of new verbs. L1 speakers (in contrast to L2 learners) seem to disprefer irregularly conjugated verb forms in general, irrespective of their conjugation in the previous input. The results further show that the syntactic complexity of the context and morphological markedness positively affect the incidental acquisition of new words in the L2, triggering learners' shift of attention from the text level to the word level.
