一段时间以来，第二语言阅读在多大程度上取决于母语阅读能力的迁移或第二语言的语言熟练程度一直是一个争论的问题(Clarke 1979,1980；Alderson 1984)。虽然已经对这一问题进行了研究，但这些研究设计中的一个主要问题是没有收集足够的信息。缺乏关于第一语言阅读能力、外语或第二语言阅读能力的足够信息，以及关于同一人外语或第二语言水平的信息(Alderson 1984：21)。本文调查了以西班牙语和英语为母语的成年人的第一和第二语言阅读理解，这些人是不同水平的外语或第二语言学习者。结果表明，第二语言阅读能力和第二语言水平是第一语言阅读能力和第二语言水平的函数，这两个因素在统计学上都有显著意义。特别令人感兴趣的是每个因素对每一组读者的相对重要性的差异。
The extent to which reading in a second language is a function of the transfer of first language reading abilities or of language proficiency in the second language has been a matter of debate for some time (Clarke 1979, 1980; Alderson 1984). Although studies of this question have been carried out, a major problem in the design of these studies has been their failure to gather sufficient information. What has been missing is sufficient information on reading ability in the first language, reading ability in the foreign or second language, and information about the foreign or second language proficiency of the same individuals (Alderson 1984:21).The study reported in this article investigated the first and second language reading comprehension of adult native speakers of Spanish and English who were foreign or second language learners of the other language at differentproficiency levels. Results, reported in terms of second language reading as a function of first language reading ability, and second language proficiency, show both to be statistically significant factors. Of particular interest is the difference in the relative importance of each factor for each group of readers.
