本研究旨在探讨第二语言（L2）读者如何根据句子的因果关系和语义相关性来处理和理解成对的句子。因果相关性是指所描述事件之间的因果关系，而语义相关性是指句子所传达的意义的相似性。在两组实验中，日本的英语学习者阅读具有不同因果关系和语义相关性的两句式故事，之后要求他们以第一句为提示回忆每个故事的第二句。针对参与者和项目具有交叉随机效应的混合效应模型显示，当第二句与第一句因果关系更强时，第二句阅读速度更快且回忆效果更好。语义相关性也促进了第二句的处理时间和回忆，尽管这种影响受到因果相关性或参与者阅读技能的影响。讨论了这些发现对第二语言文本理解和处理的理论和教育启示。[作者摘要]
This study aimed to examine how second language (L2) readers process and comprehend paired sentences based on the causal and semantic relatedness of the sentences. Causal relatedness refers to the cause‐and‐effect relations between the events described, whereas semantic relatedness refers to the similarity of meaning conveyed by the sentences. In a pair of experiments, Japanese learners of English read 2‐sentence stories with varying causal and semantic relatedness, after which they were asked to recall the second sentence of each story using the first sentence as a cue. Mixed‐effects models with crossed random effects for participants and items revealed that the second sentence was read faster and recalled better when it was more causally related to the first sentence. Semantic relatedness also facilitated the processing times and recall of the second sentence, although the effect was limited by the effects of causal relatedness or participants’ reading skills. Theoretical and educational implications of these findings for L2 text comprehension and processing are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
