本研究旨在探讨语篇结构特征在二语阅读者心理表征中的作用。特别是，我们调查了在何种程度上47 L2的英语读者使用文本的结构属性（因果因素，故事语法类别，层次），以“填补”他们的心理表征的差距。采用意义保持和结构保持两种评分标准，对72名英语母语读者和72名二语读者的记叙文回忆协议进行了分析和比较。第一字幕信息是原始文本信息的逐字或接近的释义;第二字幕信息实现与原始文本单元相同的结构功能。我们发现，L2读者的结构保留回忆远高于他们的意义保留回忆，并且特定结构属性（即，因果关系和故事语法类别）与评分标准相互作用。这些结果表明，这些二语阅读者使用自上而下的处理来保持文本的结构完整性。
This study assessed the role that structural properties of texts play in the mental representations of second-language (L2) readers. In particular, we investigated the extent to which 47 L2 readers of English used structural properties of a text (causal factors, story-grammar category, and hierarchical level) to “fill in” gaps in their mental representations. L2 readers' recall protocols of narrative texts were analyzed and compared with those of 72 L1 readers of English using two scoring criteria: meaning-preserving and structure-preserving. The first credits information that is either verbatim or a close paraphrase of the original textual information; the second credits information that fulfills the same structural function as the original text unit. We found that L2 readers' structure-preserving recalls were substantially higher than were their meaning-preserving recalls, and that the effects of particular structural properties (i.e., causal connections and story-grammar category) interacted with the scoring criterion. These results indicate that these L2 readers used top- down processing to preserve the structural integrity of a text.
